Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure

I received the Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure set free from Influenster in my Spring Vox Box.  They are a great shade of purple (my fav color) called Joyride.  I love having pretty painted nails but I don't always have time to give myself a proper manicure.  This idea of these nails seems like an ideal solution.

I followed the directions picking out sizes and cleaning my nails with the included pad before applying. The nails are very pretty, a flattering color (its a deep purple), and are very easy to apply. My issues...where shall I start...well they felt fake. Like when I was typing with them on; I did not have faith that they would stay intact, they felt moveable. But for about 3 days they didn't move so that was good. Second issue is I have very petite hands which means tiny narrow, long nails. This means even the smaller ones look abnormal on my little fingers. They are a little too wide for me. And they are insanely short.  I had to cut my real nails down to the skin area so they wouldn't show above the inPRESS nail.  Also, they constantly tangled in my hair, which my hair is long so it was quite frustrating. But they looked very pretty and I loved the color. 
Moving on.  I put them on, on Friday...Monday night my one on my left middle finger popped off.  I wasn't doing anything just stirring pasta.  Maybe the heat affected it.  Once it was off there was no getting it back on.  But because I really liked them and the missing one was a conversation starter I decided to leave them on a little longer.  Thursday Morning, so 6 days in, the left index popped off.   *another one bites the dust* guess its time to take them off.

So my thoughts on them.  They are cute and easy and not very expensive.  I would totally purchase them again for a special occasion.  Unless you never do dishes, clean, fix your hair, cook, whatever they will not last 7-14 days.  But for 5.99-7.99 you can't beat them.
