KISS imPRESS No Glue Mani Press On Nails, Color, ‘Point Pink’, Pink, Short Size, Squoval Shape, Includes 30 Nails, Prep Pad, Instructions Sheet, 1 Manicure Stick, 1 Mini File

My honest, unsolicited review (increasingly rare). I did not receive anything for this review.
In my quest to find the perfect manicure, I have tried many different types of nails (Static, Sally’s, Diva, Kiss, Gel, dipping, acrylic, etc.). I have even super glued fake nails to keep them on. These nails are the closest thing to perfect that I have found.My process: because of the damage to my nails from other products, I apply a ridge filler before I apply the nail. I think it helps with adhesion. It is really important to follow the instructions on the box so you apply them in the right direction and press them until they adhere.Pros:- They do not pop off- They do not chip- They look great- They are quick and easy to apply (less than 10 minutes)- The nails do not damage your natural nails- They are easy to remove- They are affordableCons:- They feel different because they have a cushion between your natural nail and the fake nail- When you remove them, you have to scrape off the gooey adhesiveI love these nails! They are my new standard 👍🏼

IN DEPTH REVIEW – NOT SPONSORED
Okay, I have tried a TON of press-on and glue on nails before ranging from custom ones on Etsy with all of the bling and things, to cheap plastic dollar store ones. I have had these on for 72 hours no, and these are solidly above-average. I got them for Valentine’s day, as I was too lazy to do my own gel and my nails were still slightly brittle from the last removal. I have never used the sticky pads to put on nails before. I’m usually a ride-or-die Nailene nail glue kind of girl, but I really wanted to see what these were like since I have seen them EVERYWHERE.LOOKS:They look really pretty, honestly. This pink color is extremely comparable to OPI’s Bubble Bath and it’s a super great neutral that works with tons of different skin tones. The shape is average, they are extremely 90’s squoval type but SUPER easy to file down without cracking the polish or losing shine on the nail. I personally filed off the little edge bits where it looks like the tab came off and didn’t see any splitting or anything. I also tapered the edges a little bit more inward toward the nail to make my fingers look more slender.Shape, color, and shine are all stellar. They have a slight bit of thickness that don’t make them look thin and plastic like cheaper nails usually do. The length is also nice – it isn’t super short but a very classy length, imo. I can type without them getting in the way, I can pick things up without my fingers hurting or feeling like my nails are going to rip off, I can pick a credit card up off a flat surface. Great length.FUNCTIONALITY:Putting them on literally took me 20 minutes which is NOTHING when it comes to press-ons. I prepped by buffing my nail plate with my own professional grade buffer, washing my hands, adding a dehydrator (you can get one on amazon, super cheap!), and then placing on the nails by aligning them flush to the cuticle and then pressing down at an angle like shown in the little graphic on the package. It comes with a cuticle stick and a tiny, flimsy “file” but it doesn’t really work so I would suggest having your own prep stuff.They did stick down pretty immediately, and strongly at that. If you have trouble placing your nails right the first time, be careful because it is HARD to get them off once they are down. I did see that the sticky tab did not start all the way at the cuticle which I imagine was to make it less lifted off the cuticle, but it still slightly lifts and because the underneath is sticky, your hair will get stuck in it (pictured last). I don’t mind it too much but it is slightly inconvenient if you touch your hair a lot like I do. Next time I get these, I’m going to see if adding some nail glue to just the cuticle area will help fill that gap and reduce the lifting.The sticky tab does run up to the tip of the nail, so if your natural nails are not very long, there will be exposed stickiness under the nail. It doesn’t bother much or get stuck to things, but lint and dirt will get stuck on it (pictured third). Not a big deal to me.OVERALL:All of my nails are still on 72 hours later, and I teach high school. I work with my hands and wash them CONSTANTLY. I also cook regularly and take hot ass showers. They are STILL perfectly intact and have not budged a bit. No extra lifting since day one, it’s still the same amount of lifting that is slightly annoying but not terrible. I have gotten tons of compliments, and they have retained their shape and shine without any extra top coat or anything of that sort. I really like them for the price that they are at and definitely plan on purchasing more. I would HIGHLY recommend these if you are in a pinch for cute nails that are functional and can last at least a few days. They don’t seem to be going anywhere yet, so I do have hopes that they stay on for the whole week.TLDR but read. the whole thing for important details:Pros: cute color, good length, stick well, shapable, awesome priceCons: slight lift, catch lint, the shape it comes in isn’t ideal

Easy and fast to put on
I loved these. Perfect for a quick fix and night out on a date. . Be gentle with it . First time I used DIY nails . Always had my gel nails at salons and was getting too expensive to have 2-3 wk maintenance and nowadays for $50 + tips .It took me 5 min first timer to put these on. Very natural and many sizes to fit your nails . Downside is that it is not strong and will be easily removed as the glue is not strong . I had it put on over my chipped gel polish as I could t remove my polish and needed a quick fix for a night out so maybe that’s why it didn’t stay in long . Take extra nails with you in your bag just in case it comes off so you can replace in a bathroom .takes 5 seconds to replace one . That’s what I did and it worked well. I am buying more . It is a quick fix for a night out . Not a permanent solution for daily use . Temporarily one day/night application for beautiful natural nails . Do not try to open a can of soda wirh those nails or put on your shapers 🙂 definitely buying several more sets . Highly recommend . Love them . Inexpensive and so easy and fast to apply.

Good quality press on nails, they last well and are strong and well designed. The colour is a pale pink neutral suitable for work and other professional locations. They have their own glue pad and adhere strongly.

These are lovely and are easy to apply. I usually have to replace one or two of them. Most Generally stay on for two weeks!
