My imPress Manicure VoxBox came today. I
received these products complimentary for testing purposes from
Influenster. I received two colours of the imPress press-on manicure by
Broadway. The colours are 130 control freak (maroon, brownish) and 060
stiletto (fuchsia). The packaging is really nice. At first I thought it
was nail polish because it's shaped like one, it's a cool design. Each
imPress comes with 24 nails in 12 sizes. On the box it says it lasts up
to a week and it's fast & easy.
I've never used these press on type of nails
before so I'm taking some time to figure this out. There are a lot of
different sizes and I have to match each one to my nail to see which
fits. I have round tip nails and imPress are flat tip so I would have to
file my nails to cover the white part. My nails are a bit longer than
these imPress. I wish imPress were a bit longer, that way I don't have
to file my nails down. No glue is needed, to stick them down, you just
have to peel off the clear plastic. The imPress sides don't cover my
nails completely but it's alright. I don't think people would look that
closely at someone's nails. Also, some of the imPress have this tiny
flat tip sticking out of the nail tip and I had to file it down or it
will get caught onto my clothes or something. The whole process took me
around half an hour (picking sizes and sticking it on), if people are
experienced with this, it will probably take a shorter time.
After I finish putting the imPress on I found this
prep pad behind this paper inside the packaging. The writing on the
prep pad are in French but I guess you use it to clean your nails before
sticking these on? Furthermore, I still have 14 imPress nails leftover
and not sure what to do with them because I already used the ones that
fit my nails. Overall, I think these imPress nails are pretty good. It's
easy to put on and there aren't any of those nail polish smell. I'll
have to see if they last for a week.
Update: May 12th, 2014
One of the nail actually fell off after shower... Good thing I got it back on by pressing onto it for awhile.
May 20th, 2014
The
last imPress nail on my finger came off on the 16th, which was less
than a week. I feel like the nails come off easily when I touch water.
My hair always get caught between the nails when I brush through it.
I picked up two free samples of Clorox electronics cleaning wipes at
London Drugs some time ago. I decided to use one of them today to clean
my laptop. It comes with a wet wipe, a cloth, and a $2 off coupon. When I
opened the wet wipe it was all dried up. I guess it’s been too long so I
just wet it with water and used it. It cleans pretty well but not much
of a difference compared to using a regular wet cloth to clean(maybe
because it’s dried up?). The other cloth that came with it, it’s like
those cloth that are used to clean glasses with. I like those, I usually
use it to clean off the finger prints or dirty marks on my tablet.
Overall, it’s a good product but I think I’ll stick with my regular wet
cloth to save money.
Sorry, can't rotate it.
I haven’t written in a blog for a long time (and the blog
disappeared) but I’m getting bored after bring sick and having to stay
at home to recover.
I just received a package today that I purchased a week ago and it
came with a free gift. The Coola mineral face matte finish sunscreen
(spf 30). I thought this would be great to use on my trip in the summer.
The packaging was alright, looks fresh. However, when I opened it to
try, the consistency was very liquidly, almost like water. It also had
this oily after look on my hand, doesn’t seem matte to me. Since the
package say cucumber on it, I was expecting for the product to smell
something like cucumber but it doesn’t. It has this weird smell like it
expired or something. Then I went online to check other people’s reviews
saying how it has this powdery finish, nothing about the smell or
consistency… I guess I was just unlucky and got a bad tube? I won’t use
it on my face but I think I’ll use it on my legs or something?
