I was walking around Times Square when I notice some imPRESS brand models walking around giving out samples. I RAN like the crazy girl that I am and grabbed one! This is the amazing part about living in New York City, there are tons of companies giving stuff out for free.
Product: imPRESS manicure by broadway
Color: Velvet Rope
Front of Package:
Back of package:
Nails and Prep pad (it appears to just be nail polish remover):
Finish using the pad to prep my nails:
End of cuticle has a tab that you pull on:
Pulling it reveals the adhesive:
How it looks like on the back of your nails:
Pro: Can be clipped and filed. So you can keep them this shape or file them down to be smaller.
Con: If you mess up, its impossible to remove without distorting/ruining the nail. Fortunately you have 24 nails to try again. They feel like acyclic nails when you press them on and as you wear them. The feeling goes away a bit if you make sure to pick smaller nails than your actual nails (they flatten as you press them down).
Color: The color is pretty I must say, and if they do last a week, its cheaper than getting your nails done at a salon. There is a range of colors to choose from.
How long does impress manicure last?
The package says up to a week and today is my 2nd day and all looks good. I will update this post with my total days count.
Update
It lasted just 5 days. I also notice some slight damage to the cuticle from putting the nail too close.
