New Nails: imPress Press-On Manicure TGIF







False nail sets aren't normally something that I find to be particularly interesting. I tend to be loyal to my Nailene Petite Square falsies as they give me the freedom to do all the nail art that I want. But I was having a browse in Boots the other day and these babies caught my eye. Isn't the pattern just divine? I can't stop looking at them. They're really striking yet elegant and I've been having compliments on them all week long.

These are the TGIF nails from the imPress range by Broadway Nails. In a nutshell, they're false nails but with the added bonus of having a sticky tab already attached. They take just a couple of minutes to apply but last on your nails for days. They're brilliant for travelling with or if you're in a rush. I always end up doing my nails on the bus or train so these save me the hassle & the mess. In each pack you get 24 nails in a range of sizes so its easy to find ones that fit you. The nails themselves are very short so you do need to cut off your nails before applying these. I like short falsies because you get that clean look & can still go about your daily tasks. You also get a prep pad which just cleans your nails before application & a nail file. The nail file was pretty crap so I had to get out my normal one but otherwise I'm really impressed (excuse the pun!) with this range. I love the packaging & the idea of keeping the nails in a little nail polish bottle is really cute. The nails come in loads of different colours & patterns that you don't really see in any other brands so they're worth checking out. I'm not sure they're worth £8.99 but they sure are purdy!

  3. I've not really looked at these in store yet, but wow that pattern is amazing! the best I've seen! :)
    Not sure I'd spend £9 on them though unless I really really needed pretty nails!

  6. Love the pattern of these ones, my nails are quite long and strong anyway so I never feel the need for falsies but these might be nice for a special occasion xx

    I want to try these, but i'm afraid they will not stay on my nails because they are so short and these don't need glue! well, I might try them anyway because they are so pretty xx

  9. £8.99 is a little pricey I have to say! I bought a pack of 200 nailene falsies and they are perfect! I guess they don't have the intricate designs but I guess there are always nail wraps. However the shapes of these are really lovely!

  10. Can you re-use them or are they just a one time thing? xx

  11. They look beautiful, but I'm with you on not being sure if they're worth the better part of £10. I've never used false nails before- they always seem super long compared to my own nails...
