Easy to Use, Sizes are limited
I hadn't had on fake nails since middle school (15+ years ago) and had low expectations. I remember them being like acrylic tips, very hard material, messy glue and not easy to shape.... but these have come a long way since then! Instructions were simple and easy to apply. At first these looked very "fake" when I put them on, but I decided to trim and file them into a rounder shape and they looked much more natural that way. The nails are very soft so it made it easy to do. I have long nail beds so these did not give hardly any length, but that's what I like personally. I was looking for an alternative to my gel polish that was ruining my nails. So far I've had them on for 5 days without any issues! The sizes are weird, I don't have wide nails and the largest option for my thumbs are just barely large enough. If you had wide thumb nails, these might not work for you. First image is more accurate of the red. They are a very "true" red.UPDATE: I had them on over a week, working a desk job through the week, serving as a waitress on the weekend, multiple long soaking baths, and gym sessions. They were still on very strong but I removed them because I had the red on for Valentine's Day and put on a new color! Easy to take off and no damage to my natural nail.

Use glue for a more secure bond
I am a gel and dip powder user. My nails needed a serious break from those products so I cut them off to give them a rest. After two weeks I really missed having long polished nails. That's when I decided to try some press on nails. I bought the Kiss brand because it has both a petite and a short length that really fit my nail beds perfectly.I tried the red nails first because the color is gorgeous. I put one on as a trial nail on each hand as directed. I wasn't completely thrilled with the bond from just using the included jelly tabs and observed a few areas where I figured they would lift from not adhering perfectly on the nail. I was right. So when I did my full set I did use a bit of glue on my nails just to help with the bond. It took longer to dry fit them to each nail than I expected and the number stamped on the end of the pull off tab is very hard to see so it's basically useless. Putting them on wasn't difficult but it was a bit awkward until I got into a groove. They are delicate but they held up well putting them on. They filed nicely and I highly recommend you do that because it makes them look very natural. I am happy with the results so far. They look great. They feel completely normal. I will update my review as time goes on.Updated 5/5/22 I ended up adding a gel topcoat a few hours after I put them on because a few of the nail surfaces showed dull spots where alcohol based products may have briefly made contact. Adding the topcoat gave them the gel finish they needed in order to protect them from dulling and to allow me to go about my normal routines without constantly looking to see if the surface was being impacted by my activities. I am now on day 3 and they still look great. No lifting (I used glue) and no issues.5/9/22 - These lasted seven days without any issues and I just took them off because I am want to use a new color. I gently loosened around the cuticle area with a small wooden cuticle stick and then I soaked my nails in some warmed mineral oil for a couple of minutes. That seemed to release most of the glue and I was able to easily get the cuticle stick under the nails and gently lift them while moving the stick from side to side. The nails came off in one piece and probably could be reused but I have so many sets I am not planning to use them again. I used some acetone to get the last of the glue off my nails and after a few days of pampering my nails with a high quality nail oil and restorative cream, I will be ready for a new set. I think my Kiss Impress Baby Why So Blue nails are next!

So much easier and cheaper than getting manicures
I’m impressed with these. I rarely get my nails done and have never gotten acrylic nails so I am a novice. I like to have nice nails for special occasions and I’m terrible at doing them myself. If I go to a salon, I get a simple gel manicure. I was skeptical about how long these would last but they exceeded my expectations. The first night, I did lose both of my pinky nails, but I think that’s because I didn’t apply them well. All the other nails stayed on strong for a week. I did a deep wash of my hair at the end of the week and then cooked with a lot of chopping so I ended up losing another 3 nails. But I was able to use regular base coat to reapply them. I just applied a thick layer of the base coat, immediately pressed on the nail before it dried and then sealed with more base coat along the top edge. I think next time, I will be able to get them to last two weeks. When the nails fell off, I had absolutely no damage. These will be my go-to going forward.

One of the better press ons that you will find!
These are really nice. Shorter than what I usually wear but cute! They are also thicker than many other press ons but that's actually a good thing because they look more legit like gel. I followed the recommendations on application and didn't lose a nail until 4 days later at mini golf. 😂 I just popped that one back on with some nail glue (not included) and finished out the week with really pretty nails. I don't usually take time to write reviews, but I'm ordering more colors right now and they definitely deserve the glowing testimony. Affordable and quality. Perfect for when you can't get to a salon and still want gorgeous hands.

Nice color options, but iffy fit.
I've been using glue on nails since covid began. Kiss brand has been my favorite, but the Impress Color variety are not my favorite. The nail bed is very curved on these. The colors are great, but you can see in my photos, the gaps after I tried pressing them down and securing them. These gaps are going to get my hair caught in them, so it's very irritating.These nails do have a sticker style backing so you can just peel and stick them if you want. I usually wear my nails for 2-3 weeks, so I glue them down regardless.
