I finally bit the bullet today and put forth some effort into trying out these press-on nails. The most annoying part is searching through all the tiny nail chips to find and organize the ones that will fit each nail. This process took me half an hour. Now that may seem like a long time, but I can be a perfectionist when it comes to nails. I had to make sure I was putting the same pattern on both of my ring fingers, both of my pinkies, etc. I did not want to see my natural nail exposed on the sides of the imPRESS nail. During this process of "does it fit?" a few dislikes came to mind:
1. This is only good for one manicure.
2. The package says they last "up to" one week. I can get my regular nail polish to last at least that long!
3. I throw away a lot of nails that do not fit my own. I just have a problem with buying something and not being able to use it all.
Okay, time for some pictures and I'll tell you about my satisfaction after application:
D060 Over the Moon was the pack I received.
They are a deep red base color with gold "water marble" overlay.
I do quite like how the water marbling is different for each nail but the same for each hand, clever you!

Naturally, my nails do not look this uniform However I have never used acrylics or press-on nails before, so maybe this is something I will just have to get used to.
The last big issue I have found is that the plastic nails do not lay flush to my natural nail. This gets annoying when they snag in your hair and the glued area exposed gets stuck to the strands of hair. OUCH!Overall, my opinion about these press-on nails is that they are not worth the money. Just try out water marbling yourself! It may take a few attempts and probably won't look perfect, but I prefer natural nail work ANY DAY.
This product was sent to me for free from Influenster for testing/review purposes only. These are my honest opinions.
