Impress Nails

'The new innovation from Broadway offers an exciting nail collection which is easy to apply , doesn't damage the nail bed, is long lasting with high shine and comes in a variety of colours and patterns for the ultimate fashionable look'

This is what Broadway have to say about there new Impress nails. I for one avoid false nails like the plague, I've never had a good experience with them. They end up being a pain to apply & then when you finally take them off your nails are left damaged. So when these arrived for me to try I was excited but extremely apprehensive.

You get 24 nails in a range of 12 sizes. Each nail comes with a plastic tab that you gently remove to apply to your nail. Broadway definitely make it sound easy & the pictures on the back of the pack make it look easy & it really was. It took me less than 5 minutes to apply all the nails. A quick swipe of the cleansing wipe, peel off the tab, stick to my nails & I was done.

The sizes & shapes were a perfect fit meaning there was no filing & even better it meant there was no awkward moments trying to use my nails afterwards. We've all had that moment your trying to send a text when your wearing false nails & it just doesn't work. I had none of this. I even had some comments from strangers complimenting my nails & when I told them they were stick ons they were shocked.

Broadway claim they can last up to a week when applied properly. I applied mine late on Monday night & removed them on Friday night purely because I was planning on doing some DIY on Saturday so I didn't want the nails to get covered in paint. I took pictures each day, the pictures all look the same purely because the nails lasted so well.

The only downside to the nails were on Wednesday a tiny gap appeared between my nail bed & the nail which meant any time I was doing anything with my hair it would get caught between the gap & pull.

Removal was easy, a quick dab of nail varnish remover & the nails peeled off. My own nails underneath weren't damaged in the slightest in fact they were looking healthier than before.

Pros - Long lasting natural looking nails which are perfect if you have an event to attend or your heading away for a few days & don't have time for a manicure.

Cons - The slight gap that appeared between the nail & my nail bed.

Impress nails are available from pharmacies nationwide. The block colours retail for $7.99 & the pattern nails retail for $9.99
