ImPress Press On Nail Review with Photos

I recently received the ImPress Press on nails in my Influenster Spring Vox Box.  I was very excited to see these nails, I have been swooning over them in the drugstore for a while and have been very interested in testing them out.  I am not typically a faux nail or even acrylic nail kind of gal... I prefer just polishing my real nails.  For some reason these have been calling out to me just begging to be tested.
The instructions were quite simple.  Lay out the nails in order of how they fit each of your real nails.  Peel off the plastic backing and then adhere to each nail.  Hold for about 30 seconds to secure, and then Voila- Insta-Manicure.  

Here are photos of the 3 of the 4 days that I wore this Manicure

Day One

Day Two
Day Three

I forgot to take a photo on day four, but trust me when i say they looked exactly the same.  Lets hop straight to the Pros and Cons

Pros: Quick, easy to use, instant manicure, professional look, awesome designs, shiny finish, doesnt harm your nails, easy to remove but do not pop off unexpectedly, washing hands was no problem :-)

Cons: They are slightly lifted at the back near the cuticle and your hair can tend to get caught at the back!  

I would love to try these in the traditional French Manicure version.

I would also love to hear your thoughts on these press on nails!

XOXOXO,
Melissa

Nail Rock Nail Caviar Sets

While at Walgreens recently I came across these Nail Rock Nail Caviar Sets.  If you were interested in rocking the 3D Manicure look at a reasonable price.  Each set is priced at $6.99, which is far less expensive than the original Caviar Manicure set which sold for over $20.00 in Sephora.


These sets are available in Pink, Gold/Multi Color, Turquoise, and Red. I believe that Nail Rock is the same company that designs the Eye Rock eyeliner temporary tattoos. 

The instructions seem super simple.  Apply the base coat, roll your finger in the caviar beads, press them into the basecoat, wait 15-20 Minutes and Voila!  Your nails are complete.

This is a trend I have not yet tried but would be interested to hear or see photos if you have.  

XOXOXO
