My Best Nail Tip Ever! (Plus Video)

orig

Hey you! It's Friday, and that means another video! This week I'm sharing my best nail tip ever--Impress Nails! Have you heard of them? I bet you've seen them before--look:

easiest nails ever!

I usually only wear natural nails, because I don't like the gluing, filing, and the look of artificial nails on me. But I gave these a go a while back and have been buying them ever since (not being compensated in any way, just a fan). If you have problems with nail art or even just painting your nails, you'll love these Impress Nails by Broadway Nails. I've purchased these many times for myself and friends! These press-on nails are around $5-7 and can be found at drugstores and box stores (Wal-mart, Target, etc). Be sure to get the short length--these look natural and there's no filing!

Reasons I Love 'Em:
  • Cheap--$5-$7
  • Natural-looking (I only like the short length but they have long sizes)
  • Easy  and fast to apply--just peel and stick--no glue!
  • Can last up to a week (but these are best for just a night out or a special occasion)
  • Makes painting nails or doing nail art EASY--just leave in the package or hold and paint. Wipe off if you don't like it! Professional nail artists do their demonstrations on artificial nails, and this is sort of similar to that! 
  • If you don't like the color you bought, just paint over it. I find that some of them are on sale because they're in an "ugly" color. Paint over them any color you want! 
  • Apply nail wraps/stickers to these!
  • 24 nails in 12 sizes
 And here's a video of me way too excited over these nails
(and not realizing everything is in the lovely shade of MINT):



What are your weekend plans? I'll be finishing laundry and getting caught up on reading blogs! Please leave your links below! Have a great weekend. Be safe, behave, and be well. Love, Elle

PS: A few weeks ago I was sent a goodie bag full of makeup and a Target giftcard from The Girlie Blog. Just because she wanted to! Thank you! You made my month! There's even a Deborah Lippmann polish in there, eek!!

Thanks Triston!

Also, in case you haven't noticed, I'm now part of the BlogHer network! 
Check out their ads on the left side bar. I'm super excited!!!

    Um, you are brilliant. I would never think of buying the ugly nails and painting over them! I'm terrible at painting my nails, so this would be really smart.

    I am loving all the mint! It's a great trend, haha! I'm still not sure how I feel about "fake" nails, but I like that these are peel-and-stick and don't involve glue!

    While I dislike the feeling of fake nails, I wonder if you can wear just one of them if a nail breaks or something! Have you ever done that Elle?

    This actually reminds me that I think I have some of these! I always pick stuff like this up and then stash it away and forget about it :X

    I pretty much stick to a 1 colour manicure, or maybe crackle on top..

    These look like a great option, I love that you can paint them first, then apply.

    Hi doll! How was the beach? Super jealous of your trip- I could use a warm getaway right about now. :)

    I'm so glad you reviewed these press-ons! I've been seeing 'em in the stores and have wondered if they've gotten better than the really super cheap + tacky versions I used to buy up as a kid! Sounds like they have! I need to pick some up. :)

    This is definitely a cool tip - maybe if I feel like getting fancier with my nails at some point. Admittedly, though, it's a tip that probably won't be used till I'm no longer working as a custodian. My nails have quite enough stress...
