What Are ImPress Nails

Impress Nails were first launched in 2012 into the beauty industry, offering a DIY manicure at home that can be done in minutes. 

An easy solution for a lasting and elegant outcome. 

imPress nails are made with high-performance resin material, featuring a thin tapered cuticle for a weightless fit. These nails deliver a seamless, natural look.

In 2021, the brand stepped up its game to make imPress Nails even better, making them so flexible, thin, and strong that you almost don’t feel like you wear nails that aren’t your own. 

imPress Nails feature:

• A new PureFit Technology
  • This technology makes the nails very comfortable by making them super slim and very easy to fit and apply
  • The thinner aspect ensures a weightless contoured fit 

• A patented Dual-Layer Adhesive system
  • One layer adheres to the imPress nail
  • The second layer glues to the natural nail
    • These two layers form a strong and lasting bond so the nails will easily stay secured in place 

• SuperHold Technology
  • The durable and flexible glue of these nails offers ideal adhesion for up to 7 days 

• Seamless Look
  • The gap-free and snug fit is made possible by the tapered cuticle – this also prevents lifting 

Here is what you need to know about these revolutionary imPress press-on nails with no glue needed:

1. These nails are easy and quick to apply 
2. They won’t damage your natural nails 
3. They are easy to remove 

How To Apply ImPress Nails 

ImPress Nails already have a well-thought-out and effective gluing system, so you don’t have to worry about applying glue before pressing these nails to your natural nails. 

It is very easy and simple to apply imPress nails and can be done in minutes. 

Follow these steps to apply imPress nails without any hassle:

1. Prepare your natural nails by cleaning them with a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol or with the enclosed prep pad that comes with imPress nails 
2. Peel off clear backing if there is any 
3. Align the tab side of the nail with the cuticles 
4. Press firmly starting at the middle of the nails, then the sides of the nails

Preparing your nails is a very important step many skip, which usually leads to the press-on nails not adhering properly. 

Cleaning your nails removes debris and naturally occurring oil, leading to a stronger and more lasting adhesion between the two nails (natural and imPress nails). 

Best Tips For ImPress Nails

Here are the best tips you can get for your imPress nails.

Tip One:

Always align the tab sides with the cuticles. 

Tip Two:

Apply the thumbnails last. 

Tip Three: 

Select a nail size to fit each finger. If you find yourself between sizes, always choose the smaller size, not the bigger one. 

Tip Four:

If you catch any exposed glue under the nails after application, go over it with clear nail polish to seal it in place. 

Tip Five:

If you want to file the nails to a different size or shape, wait 1 hour after applying the imPress nails to your natural nails before you file them to allow the glue enough time to secure the nails. 

How To Easily Remove ImPress Nails Without Damaging Your Natural Nails

Removing imPress nails is almost as easy as applying them. 

Follow these steps to remove impressive nails easily: 

1. Gently peel off the nail from each side using your fingers 
2. If they don’t come off easily, use a manicure stick to gently and carefully nudge the nails from the sides 

What NOT to do when removing imPress nails:

If your imPress nails are stuck to your natural nails and don’t peel off easily or smoothly, don’t forcefully peel them or pull them. 

Instead, apply nail polish remover around the edges of the imPress nails and let it soak for a couple of minutes. 

You can use cotton balls or a cotton swab to apply the nail polish remover, or add nail polish remover in a small bowl and place your nails inside the bowl and let them soak. 

After you have soaked your nails in nail polish for a few minutes, try to gently peel off the imPress nails using your fingers or a manicure stick.
