Something New for the Nails

Greetings!

I decided to give something new a try. And that would be some press on nails, a lovely nod to the 80's.

As someone who wasn't thinking into the future, I got rid of the package already so I'm not sure exactly what color these are, but they're a nice pink with a subtle, glittery sparkle. The brand is Impress Press-on Manicure.

These were very easy to apply. But I took things one step further to ensure that they would stay put on as some reviews I read talked about the nails popping off.










Enter the nail glue. Very inexpensive and I figured it would give these some extra staying power. They feel really solid! Haven't really figured how I'll be getting them off yet, but I'll worry about that later on....

Anyhow, here is the finished product.

I'm pretty impressed so far. I won't be able to give an accurate account of how long they last naturally since the addition of glue, but we'll see how this goes. I was able to find a pretty good fit for all of my nails except for my thumbs which are a little wider. So one thumb looks a little wacky, but I'm thinking I can put a similar color polish in the small empty spot. But in the end I don't think that will be too noticeable except to my own OCD senses. Also, I decided to take a nail clipper to a few of them as certain fingers were looking a little "fake" and a little too long for me although these are the "short" length. Another great surprise was that the nail clipper worked incredibly well after I had put the nails on. I was thinking they might crack, but no such thing (although that may happen if you clip them before you put them on your nails.)

I'm really loving the look so far so we'll see how they hold up!
