I like how they look. Almost matches my natural nail bed color, easy to use, just had to file down a bit and probably should have filed down the tips more since they look a bit wide on my fingers but didn’t have time. I’d purchase again.

Update 3/25/24: these never fail to just make me feel a little more put together and pretty. I order them regularly. I’ve picked up a couple tricks along the way since I first began using these press ons. As a disclaimer I’m just a complete amateur who’s tried out YouTube’s hacks on these press on nails and want to share if it can help out someone who’s interested in experimenting with these fun sticker press ons.

1. To avoid your hair getting caught in these press on nails - you have to tuck them under the cuticle skin (idk if that’s the correct term). And to do that you have to push back the skin growing on your nail. Be gentle. If you see in my previous pictures (the first 2 I uploaded from last year) I actually snipped my cuticles thinking it would look neater but then I had a space between the press on nail and my cuticle so my hair would get stuck there —was a total noob move lol.

2. If you want the press ons to last longer than a couple days try experimenting with nail glues in addition to the sticky adhesive these press ons already come with. It’s helped my nails last for 2 weeks. What works for me are the glues with a wand (kinda looks like nail polish) vs the nail glue tubes, it’s just easier for me to apply.

Nail prep is important to secure the press ons. Some people file down the nail bed to “roughen it up”, I tried that but stop doing that since I felt it thinned my nails too much overtime. Instead I use a nail strengthener as a base (some people use a nail primer too but I opt out of that). I feel having a layer below the glue helps add a tiny bit of protection to my nail rather than applying glue directly on a bare nail. Then I wipe the nail down with alcohol to get rid of oils. I then polish nail glue on. I add full coverage of glue on the nail, making sure the edges are covered in glue too to create a better seal and helps avoid the press on nail from lifting off my real nail. Sometimes I add glue under the press on nail too if I have time. Then I remove the plastic from the press on so that the sticky part is exposed and then I gently push down the press on nail under the cuticle and hold it.

3. To avoid getting bubbles from nail glues (that can usually be easily seen with sheer colors like these press ons) it’s important to fully cover the nail with it —I still get air bubbles and I try to push rhe air bubbles out to the sides. As much as possible you’d want to get rid of air bubbles otherwise water can linger in there and may cause bacterial growth.

4. If you’re in a bit of a time crunch getting ready to go out and don’t have time for adding glue.

Before applying these on, I’ve found it’s best to have already gotten ready/dressed/hair/make up already done, house chores done—basically won’t need to wash my hands or lift anything heavy anymore for at least an hour (usually during a commute is a great way to let them cure).

Super basic prep is cutting your nails, make sure the edges are cut too so they don’t stick out. Don’t cut them too short so that there’s

still some nail length for the press on nail to adhere to. Wash your hands to soften up the cuticles a bit, then push them back. Wipe the nails down with alcohol (or you can use the little wipey that comes in the box) then stick them on. Don’t let water get on them for at least an hour. With a quick prep like this I’d probably only get 1-3 days wear and would bring the nail kit for extra nails and carry nail glue in case they fall out.

I pretty much swear by the Im-press nails at this point in my life. I have pretty flat nail beds and, while the ‘clear pink’ part of the nail isn’t necessarily clear like it would be coming from a salon, I love these nails over any press-ons i've ever tried. People dont even believe they're press-ons when I say it. They aren't a hard plastic material which I believe helps them last longer and look more natural. I’m a writer who types all day, I shower, get in the pool, wash dishes, etc. and they still last for over a week and you’d only hinder their strength by using super glue. I dont know what the technology is in the adhesive but it’s hard to get off even when you’re deliberately trying to which I’m not mad at! Just make sure you actually follow the prep-steps, buff and use the alcohol wipe provided. If your nails are still oily from your natural body oils, they may not hold as well.

I’ve been wanting to have my nails done for a while now and I just don’t have time and I know the expense as I’ve had acrylics in the past. I thought I’d try these and I’m very impressed. Pros:

Easy to apply, takes less than 10 minutes, and there is no drying time. You’re finished and ready to go immediately.

They wear well and do not chip. I’m on my second set now, 6 days in and going strong. I’ve washed dishes, showered, planted flowers, washed my hands, and they stay on.

They remove quickly and easily (no soaking or damage!) and they look great. There is a very wide variety of colors, shapes, and designs.

These are super affordable and you can apply them on your schedule.

Cons:

I apply as close to the cuticle as I can. As the nails begin to grow, the press-ons lift a bit from the nail bed and my hair can get caught in the gap. The adhesive does not go all the way to the edge for the easy removal.

I’m in my first set of French/natural nails and the nail looks cloudy around the cuticle. Again, I believe this is due to the adhesive not filling to the edge of the press-on. However, this isn’t noticeable unless you look close and is a non issue with colored press-ons.

I wanted to jazz up my nails for my daughters baby shower. I had little expectation but was SO surprised. I took the advice of another reviewer and put these on the night before, right before I went to bed. I think this is a crucial step. I tried to use these another time without doing that and they didn't last a week. There is something about letting them adhere all night long, with no stress on the nail, that helps it stay on longer. Make sure you push down really well for a minute or so. I used an empty pill bottle to store the leftover nails and I just label it. I did not baby these nails. I did all my normal housework all week. I guess you could say I'm ImPRESSed.

These nails look so good! They look like I actually went and got acrylic nails done. I took them off at the end of my day so I don't know how long they would last for, my guess is not very long. But for the day that I had them on they felt very sturdy and never like they were going to pop off. In fact it was slightly difficult to pull them off, like it was just the slightest bit painful. I will definitely be repurchasing these for any future events!

I will preface this review by saying that I use Kiss imPRESS no glue press on nails exclusively, but had not ordered this French manicure version before. I have used at least 6 colors and 1 other French manicure style and all stay on at minimum, for 2 weeks and sometimes up to a month. I prepped my nails the same way I usually do, and these didn’t even last an hour before starting to fall off. I purchased some nail glue ( which defeats the purpose of no glue nails) to try and salvage this purchase, but because they are pre-glued, the nails + glue were too thick and didn’t mesh well with the cuticle. This was a waste of my money.

These press-ons were supposedly gentler than others but removing them ruined my nails, following directions carefully. The adhesive was tough and extended so far up that it was catching and sticking.

I’m used to paying $60+ for a gel mani, but couldn’t get an appointment and tried these out of desperation. Holy cow, I’m never going back to the salon! They take literally five minutes to apply, start to finish. And they last for weeks! The results are stunning, and the best part is there’s so many extra nails in the package that I can get two manicures out of it. No glue, no mess…you can even throw a couple loose ones in your wallet to have in case one falls off (which likely won’t happen, but yardwork is hell, lol). I get more compliments on these than I ever did with my “natural” nails.

Love these nails. Have many colours of Kiss Impress, and I wear this style most often. I only use the French manicure-like ones (not the silver ones) and there are enough to last for over a week in the event a few fall off. But if I prep my nails properly - I clean them, buff them a bit with the emery board and then use the wipe (both included) - they stay secure for over a week. And they stay PERFECT for the week; better than a salon manicure that can chip. And less than 1/3rd of the cost. I usually get compliments on my nails and people do not know that they are artificial. VERY natural looking. Now I rely on being able to do my nails 10 minutes before I go out - or even if I'm a passenger in the car! A nice little gift too - something stylish yet practical. A great find!

C'est ma première fois avec des "fake" ongles! Juste waou...Ils collent super bien, je les ai depuis 6 jours et ils n'ont pas bougé...Ils sont très beaux, très naturels. J'ai appuyé 30s sur le mileu assez fort et ensuite un autre 30s sur les côtés assez fort aussi. C'est sûr que je ne peux pas faire tout ce que je veux avec (vaisselle sans gants, long bain, etc) car j'ai encore un peu peur de les perdre. Pour moi rien de vaut mes vrais ongles mais ceux-là sont incroyables, je les recommande pour le prix à 100%.

They are easy to apply and do look good, as long as you don’t look too close, since you see the layer of real nail topped with these impress ones.

These are awful. You can see the adhesive and the bubbles it makes through the nail so they look terrible up close. The adhesive in the ones I recieved was terrible and is coming away 7 hours later. I've used impress nails before and they've never been this bad. I use press on nails all the time and get an average of 10 days wear out of them and people thinking they're salon nails with correct prep. Maybe I have a bad batch? But even if they stuck right, I'd be taking them off because of the ugly adhesive lines and bubbles.

Really easy to apply. No messy glue and it looks professional and beautiful.
