Ahhh! I’ve been excited about this post for a long time and it is finally heeeereeee! YAY! All my tips and hacks for applying Impress press on nails, in one beautiful little package. Let’s get to it!
SO, what is the deal with these little packages of press on nails that I love so much?? For starters, they are super affordable (easily under $10/package, depending on where you get them), widely available (I’ve found them at Walgreens, Target, Ulta, Walmart, Amazon, even HEB!), come in a ton of pretty colors and designs (check out the website here), fast – like, super fast, and I don’t have to sit in a salon for an hour breathing in all those fumes and then fork over $35 every time.

great video! I’ve tried these before but without much luck. I’ve got boxes in my bathroom as I continue to pick them up when I see a new color I like! I’m going to try again – I think my issue was picking the wrong size … thanks so much for putting this together 😉
