ImPress Nails

So if you follow my personal Instagram page then you're probably aware that my daughter came about a month early, on the 14th of June.  Due to some health issues I had and some complications she was in the hospital for awhile, as was I and as a result I got PRETTY far behind on things. This blog hasn't been super active for awhile but my Instagram is usually updated daily and even that fell through the cracks. I'm working now to get my new videos up on You Tube and hopefully get back into the swing of things. Motherhood has been a big change for me, especially since my little was premature and weighed less than 4lb at birth. She's doing wonderfully now but it's been an uphill battle.  I've been sort of taking this blog slowly in new directions for awhile now so don't be surprised if I revamp a little bit and start blogging more personally as well as about beauty, nails and other things. Living a polished life is about more than pretty nails (although those are important too! ;P) so while I'm home and enjoying my new baby there may be some new and different things popping up here. I'll post a more indepth update on what I've been up to a little later.

So anyway let me talk to you about the nails you see! I recently got a Walmart beauty box for the summer and these nails were included. They're Impress nails. Basically they're press on's that come in fun patterns. I'm really not a fan of press on nails because I find it difficult to match my nail sizes and even though there are 30 nails in this pack they were still a bit wide for my nail beds. Issue #2 I had with these is that they didn't press down all the way. They lifted a bit at the base so my hair and various things kept getting caught underneath the bases which was super irritating. That being said if you can find sizes to fit your nails these might be really great for a quick manicure. They stayed on really well and I had to REALLY work to get them off after three days. I'm always worried about nails popping off but I was able to use my nails like normal with no issues. I used them for a quick Fourth of July mani since my pack happened to be red, white, and blue. Bonus: they're so easy to apply you can do it with a screaming infant on your lap!
