Has Anyone Tried ImPRESSed with Impress Nails?

As part of my VoxBox from influenster.com, I received a package of  Broadway Nails iPRESS Manicures. The pattern choice they sent me is not something I would have chosen had I purchased them myself. But, they looked fantastic on! The giraffe pattern was actually quite flattering. I loved the subtle gold sparkle in the nail as well. This is my second sample I've received. The first sample came in a ShoeDazzle order last year. I found the same pros and cons with both samples.

Pro: Incredibly easy to apply. My 9yr old took the leftovers (the package comes with 24 nails so you can select the perfect size) and did her own manicure.

Con: The nails don't lay exactly flat against my natural nail leaving a slight gap between the product and my nail. This leaves enough space for makeup, food, or whatever else I touch (thank heavens I'm done with diapers!) to get trapped under the nail.

Pro: They are short. This makes them easier to wear for longer periods of time. They stay on for about a week without popping off, as long as you've selected the correct size and applied them correctly. They also look more "real" than the long, bulky Lee Press On Nails of my youth.

Con: The plastic they are made from tends to lose it's shape at the tips. Maybe most press on nail wearers sit at home eating BonBons all day, but I'm just not that girl. I work, go to school, and take care of a home and family. I type for hours each day. These nails are good for 3 days or so before they edges start to bother me.

Pro: They are easy to remove.

Con: They are easy to remove. When I get bored watching online lectures, I admit I start to pick at my nail polish. So, I may have picked them off the other day. oops!

Over all opinion: For around $6, this is a fun way to get a professional looking manicure for a few days. I don't think I could wear them full time. But, they are super fun. And, for the price, hey...why not?

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
