imPress Press-on Manicure by Broadway

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.

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.
