SWATCH SUNDAY — ImPress The No Glue Manicure Effortless Spring Manicure

pr/gifted product.

Hey beauties — long time no see!

I know what you’re thinking — Shannon, where have you been? Well the last few months have been kind of crazy behind the scenes, & we actually moved at the beginning of this month, selling our house we’ve lived in for the last 9 years. It’s been an emotional roller coaster, but we’re happily settled in our new place so I’m excited to finally get back into the swing of things.

Today’s Swatch Sunday is a little bit of a switch up, because it’s not a polish but a review of some press on nails that imPRESS was lovely enough to gift to me. & seeing how my nails are currently short short short, I’m excited to show them off!

imPRESS was so kind when they sent me a whole bunch of their newly released designs, & it was hard to pick just one! The first set I decided to try out was this beautiful floral French tip design, with these very cool 3D flowers called Pastel Bloom.

Like the imPress mini x Wicked nails I did on my daughter, these are so easy to apply. Like all fake nails, I feel like I spend the longest time matching up individual nails to my nail beds, & laying them down to I can grab them easily for application. But, with the imPRESS line instead of having to mess with glue — which, I’ll admit I kind of hate — they already come with sticky pads attached! All you have to do is pull the clear tab away, & stick on your nail.

No glue mishaps to be seen!

Now, obviously using the tabs instead of glue–which covers the majority of the nail–means that they might not feel quite as secure as other press on nails which use glue. Personally, the only time I found this an issue was around the cuticle line. I didn’t find the sticky tab came down far enough, so I would–for instance–catch my hair under it. I also noticed that it was easily for dirt to slip under there as well.

Not cons enough to make me not wear them, but definitely something I know that could deter other people. Personally, these lasted for me through showers, work outs, & everyday general wear without any nails popping off. & to me, that is a huge win!

In fact, I’m loving these imPress nails so much that when I decided to take off this design that I had been wearing… I immediately put on another design! This one–called Elegance–felt very fun, & 90s inspired, which I couldn’t turn down.

How freaking cute, am I right?!

Over all, I’m a big fan of these press on designs, & the ease in which they have to put on — but also remove! As someone who likes to change her nails as much as her mind, that is a big bonus to me. If you’re curious to try out some of these nails, you can find them on their website, as well as in store. Here in my part of Canada, I’ve seen them most often for sale at Shoppers Drug Mart & Walmart.

What do you think of these imPRESS nails? Have you tried any of their press on nails, & what did you think? Let me know what you think, & if you would also wear these nails. I’d love to know your thoughts.

Happy Sunday!

SWATCH SUNDAY — Impress Mini X Wicked For Good Press On Nails Reviews

•gifted/PR

Hello loves & happy Sunday! Today I have a bit of a different Swatch Sunday post, & a special guest star! I was recently gifted a box of goodies from Kiss for the new Wicked: For Good movie, including a ton of press on nails. Even more special though, is they included 2 sets of the Impress Mini nails — perfect for my little girl!

To say she was excited was an understatement. So naturally, she wanted to put them on as soon as possible.

In the style Good News!

So coming from a Mom perspective, these nails were super easy to apply to my six year old. The part that took the longest was sizing each finger for the best fitting nail. Some aren’t perfect — & to be fair, I could have went through & filed them down to fit better — but we did a pretty good job matching up each nail with an appropriately sized fit.

Application itself was simple. Each press on nails were is already pre glued for application, so you just have to remove the protective plastic film, & press onto the coordinating nail.& make sure you pretty down hard, so it sticks well. Then you pop off the little tabs & give them a quick file with the provided file. Next time, I would probably use my own glass file for a smoother edge, but my little girl wasn’t bothered by the less than smooth finish — which also could have just been my own user error.

Each package comes with 18 nails, so it’s pretty easy to find ones to match up. They are also nice & sticky, but not so sticky you can’t also remove them easily. The little glittery patterns were also super cute, fun & girly, & my little girl loved that she got to “be” Glinda.

Over all these were super simple & quick to apply. Doing my little girl’s nails can sometimes not be the easiest, as she is six & doesn’t always want to sit still, but these made for a way less stressful application. Honestly, I can see buying these for her frequently just to keep things simple & easy. & even though she only decided to wear them a short time, she enjoyed them too! Plus we saved the nails for future use (also I would imagine I might need to get some sticky tabs for next time.)

Impress Mini Nails sell for around $7.97 CAD at my local Walmart, which I think is a fantastic price for a quick kids manicure. Like I said, the ease alone — & lack of stress — make these an immediate winner for me!
