imPRESS Press On Manicure

imPRESS Press on Manicure nails- Review + Reusing Tip:
i tried the imPRESS on nails out in a gorgeous bright purple-pinkish color loved it, they were given to be for free by influenster (a website where ANYONE can sign up to recieve and review amazing products) the adhesive lasts a LONG time, however i find that the actual "enamel" doesnt last as long it shows wear after about 3-4 days. I loved the product would love to try it out again however not worth the Suggested retail price: $5.99 for colors and $7.99 for patterns.


You can find imPress Manicure at CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, KMart, Walgreens, Walmart
visit imPressManicure.com


Disclaimer: I received the imPress Press on Manicure Nails free to try out and review from Influenster (influenster.com) .(featured in the 2012 mom voxbox)


great way to reuse? - 1. start the nails out long, than as they show wear cut them down little by little this way they look fresher longer. 


- 2. after using it and removing it remove the adhesive. later when you want to apply it on again apply nail glue or perhaps double sided tape??? (never tried that before but willing to give it a try) then freshen it up with a fresh coat of nail polish in your desired color and of course apply a top coat.

Materials needed:
-Paper Towel or a piece of old cloth
-Water

1. soak the paper towel or the piece of cloth in water. (it shouldn't be too dry or too wet.)
2, wipe the furniture with the paper towel several times and the water from the cloth or paper towel will attract the pet hair.
