You can have four different manicures a month for the price of one downtown. +No heavy fumes, like at salons +Portable you can apply them just about anywhere CONS: -The nail glue that is included can be messy, it's awkward to handle in my opinion, and can only be used once before it starts to dry out. -Damage can happen to the nail's surface if they are removed too soon. -Discoloration in nails can occur if used too frequently, (may look green or yellow, don't worry it's just your hands telling you to take a break so your nails can get some needed oxygen.) I love Impress Manicures so much that I've incorporated them into my self-care routine and do a "Mani Monday" every week and if you follow the directions well they can last up to 2 weeks. Here's some TIPS TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR MANICURE: 1) I always trim my nails as short as I comfortably can. 2) Push back the cuticles with the orange wood stick. 3) The most important step is to ALWAY USE THE ALCOHOL WIPE. This is the KEY to having your nails adhere well. A clean slate is absolutely crucial. I've also used hand sanitizer in a pinch and it has worked. 4)I HIGHLY recommend purchasing the KISS BRUSH ON nail glue you can even Subscribe and Save. It can be bought here: https://www.amazon.com/Kiss-Powerflex-Brush-on-Glue-0-17-Ounce/dp/B01N1JTY0Q/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=kiss+brush+on+nail+glue&qid=1640060710&sr=8-3 I always apply two coats and press them down for 45 seconds for each nail. 5) When applying be sure to press the nail into the area where the cuticle is to have them look as natural as possible and get the best fit. 6) The shorter they are the less likely they are to catch on things and therefore less likely to pop off. A final tip would be to avoid lotions, oils, and water for the first hour or so to allow the glue to fully cure. I keep a spare brush on glue and the extra nails in my purse in case one ever does pop off. (I'm a primary school teacher so it's a very hands-on job with the littles needing help like prying Legos apart etc. so it's almost bound to happen towards the end of the week.) Lastly, to make removal easy I suggest soaking in a very hot both and applying coconut oil to help weaken the adhesion.
