KISS imPRESS Press-on Manicure - I'd Rather Be

J'aime beaucoup, ça fait une semaine que je les ai et ils tiennent super bien encore !

These nails are so awesome. I have had so many people compliment me on them!

I like the fact that they look real. They're so easy to apply, just read the instructions carefully, don't just dive in thinking you know what to do. Unless you've used them before, you don't and will apply them wrongly. They can last for up to 6 weeks, through gardening, washing dishes and other housework, being in the shower, washing hair, none failed. I wear them in a mix. Plain on thumbs and little fingers. Single stones on index fingers. Glittery on middle finger and multi stones on ring fingers. Look so good! Got so many compliments about them, disbelief when I said they were false until I brought out the box with the extras. Even more so when told the price. What don't I like? A couple of the stones have fallen off. The best way to prepare your nails is to buff then up to very, very smooth to give the best possible surface for the adhesive to stick to the greatest area, otherwise they only stick to where they touch and water can get in the gaps and then they WILL fall off.

I have used other products in this line and the nails stayed on 7+ days before I removed them. This set did not do as well. Lost nails after the second day which was disappointing. The blue ones stuck really well, it was the white and silver sparkly that seemed to be quite thick and did not last. Still, they looked cute while they lasted.

I used to spend a LAA-HAHT of money getting my nails done - $130-$150 every month. I decided to give my nails (and my wallet) a break after speaking to a couple of women who used these. So far I am loving them (I've purchased a couple of sets). I push back my cuticles, lightly rough up the nail bed, and clean them with rubbing alcohol. I apply the nail slightly under my cuticle and press firmly. They stay on for 2-3 weeks before I feel they need to be replaced. PROS: They are super thin and comfortable, easy to apply, and (I feel) long lasting for what is basically tape. Very natural looking (I've purchased all my sets in the short length). Less damaging to my real nails. CONS: The lighter color I'm currently wearing is starting to look a little dingy at the tip. Sometimes when I grab something I can feel the nail flex; however, none have popped off. They are definitely not strong enough to use your nails as tools for prying. Still trying to figure out an easier way to remove them when I'm ready for a change. I highly recommend these.
