I am usually one to do my own nails…one reason is because I always feel awkward when the tech is holding hand at the nail salon (I’m neurotic.).  The main reason though, is just that my nails are the one place I really like to be creative and daring.  I will try crazy colors and designs on my nails that I would never try in clothing.  I think it’s because nail polish can be changed so quickly 🙂

So when I got the imPRESS Press-On Manicure to try out from Influenster, I was definitely ready to try it out–even though I have only had fake nails a couple of times in my life (ah, prom).

The container that the nails come in is really cute–it looks like an actual nail polish bottle!  The color I received to try was called Chic Mystique.  It’s a pretty ballerina pink with white floral designs overlaid.

The instructions said to just match the nails to your real ones, lay all ten out, then peel off the back sticker and press firmly over your real nails.  So I did.  Really easy to do, and I love that there was no need to use sticky, smelly glue that I would probably only glue my fingers together with anyway.

I really love how they turned out looking!  The color and design are so awesome and definitely right up my alley–I am a girly girl.  The day I put these nails on was also the same day we ended up taking down our Christmas tree and all the decorations and lights, and the nails stayed put through all that.  I also put together a Hot Wheels track for my son while wearing these.  It was a little difficult, but doable.  And the nails stayed put.

I actually ended up taking these off myself before they fell off, just because the feeling of fake nails on my hands is not something I’m used to. It was also a little awkward to be wearing them because my real nails were about the same length as the press on ones!   They were really easy to remove.  I’m sure if I had left them on they would have stayed for several days longer–up to a week!

imPRESS Press-On Manicure is a fast, easy way to do your own nails at home without the mess or smell!  I would definitely wear these in different designs, for a special occasion or party.  You can find them at many stores including CVS, Walmart, Walgreens, and more.  There are 36 patterns and colors in the collection.  Check out imPress Manicure to see the other awesome designs!
