I just ordered a few sets of these Impress nails for Target delivery. Baaaaaaaaaaa Do I need to have my natural nails really short? Any tips for application? This will be my first time every trying this sort of product. I just make sure they're shorter then the nail. I just follow the directions on the box, there's a little file in the box you use on your nails first then I believe there's an alcohol wipe you use after. Make sure you do your thumbs last. My biggest tip that's not on the box is find the nail you want and apply right away. When I first started doing them I would try different nails and line them up and apply in order. It was such a headache. Now I see if it fits then I immediately apply. Save yourself the trouble and learn from my mistakes.

I was at TJ Maxx today looking for clearance workout clothes and found my way over to the beauty section. They had boxes of Impress nails for $3.99!! They didn't have all the colors and designs that Target does but I bought a few boxes that were cute!
They also had OPI nail polish for way cheap. I found one in the clearance section for $2. Just a tip for anyone that has a TJ Maxx, might be worth looking!

Thank you for those who mentioned the impress nails. I love The way my nails look at the salon but they are too small for me to paint myself to look good. And ragged. But I’m not comfortable with the salon yet and wanted to look more put together. These are just what I needed!! Quoting myself because I finally got tapa to work for me so I could finally post a pick. I already lost the box so no clue what color these are called. Pretty nice for 7 bucks from target! Ahh these were the impress ones I did once and I loved them. Yours look way better! I put mine on in an Uber 😆 so this is much nicer 😍 I still have them I may just put them on tomorrow to celebrate with my Prosecco 🍾💅🏼

Do impress nails damage the nail underneath when removed?

Do impress nails damage the nail underneath when removed? Not in my experience. It’s just sticky so I washed my hands and it was fine.

Do impress nails damage the nail underneath when removed? No. They are self-adhesive, as opposed to using glue, and apparently the glue damages nails but these do not.
I have had mine on for a two-week stretch and then a 10-day stretch and they did no damage to my fairly weak nails.
(I also loved seeing how long my nails grew in the two weeks I had them on.)

My nails are always longer after I use impress nails. I bite my nails when I'm anxious and I think they weaken from so much hand washing, it's almost like my nails get a break when I have them on.

Shellac. The colors were in a display with their own number system so I don’t know the name of the color. It’s very Snow White red apple.

Hey. Y’all remember when I was like, there are many ways to make your gel manicure last and last. I guess y’all are doing it wrong. And then my gel nails chipped in 3 days?
Good times. Good times.

Oh no! I can't remember if you said how long you've been doing gel. I'm new at it and it's so hard to get all the steps down correctly! My most recent gel mani lasted for only 5 or 6 days before I got a little chip. For now, I've only been doing a gel base coat, followed by gel top coat, then I use regular base/polish/top coat over that. I love painting my nails frequently so I'm not quite ready to use full on gel polish yet! I've been enjoying using the gel as a base though. It protects my nails from staining and getting all dried out since I change my nail polish so frequently.
