I have no doubt she’s able to get exactly the usage reported using her techniques. Unfortunately, mileage may vary, as they say in the car ads. There are so many other variables at play, many of which cannot be remedied with the best care in application. Your natural nail bed shape is the biggest determining factor in longevity. The flatter the natural nail bed, the less adhesion capable. You need contact before glue can stick. Flat nails eliminate any possibility of press on type nail. This still leaves the option of the stick on gel Polish. IMO these are the most wasteful options. For the same price, you can go to a nail tech. You can get a full set of artificial nails or a really professional manicure.
@@MichiaMakes I have very flat nail beds and while using glue is never going to happen, adhesive tabs however have been lasting on my nails really well. Glue I can't even get an hours wear, but tabs I managed almost 2 weeks and could have gone longer but I got bored and wanted change.
I always get 14 + days with impress just by having clean dry nails and dehydrating with alcohol before applying and applying pressure for 30 second each. Sometimes I have to replace one or two. I plan to try Chill Tips also.
i still use glue with the press on nails. I also use a battery powered file and I clean the nails up with rubbing alcohol before application. It really helps extend the life of your manicure no matter which type of nails you decide to go with.
I'm a ride or die with both Kiss and Impress (which is actually owned by Kiss which is why they're both so popular). I've had some sets for both brands that have lasted over three weeks (one set lasted that long with me going swimming multiple times!!). Some sets from both brands last better than others so it's inconsistent sometimes, but I normally just re-glue any that fall off before im ready to take them off. I also sometimes use a gel base coat or a builder base on my natural nails to protect them from the glue.
Hands down (No pun intended lol) Kiss and Impress. If you can't get the impress nails to last 3 weeks you are putting them on wrong same with kiss glue on nails .
I'm glad you said you gave your nails a break..my problem..I wear them and want to change them every week but each week they stay on less and less...dont know why...I like Kiss and Impress for durability...
@@iamsherry124 I definitely feel you with always wanting them done. I normally give myself at least a week or two in between sets to give my nails a breather
Same! I’ve tried multiple glue-ons and press-ones, but Kiss glue-ons will stay on nicely for three weeks most times. I also get the most compliments on them.
Great review video. A suggestion is a base or clear polish on your nail bef applying glue. I switch my sets about every 10 days so it's working so far. If you wanna try it or not.
@@blessed9491 The glue honestly isn't that much of an issue the main trick to avoiding damage to your nails is to soak them off after buffing off the shine.
Girl! I can make my Kiss glue on nails last at least 2 - 2 1/2 weeks and they have perfect fits for my nail beds. From pinky to thumb is 7,4,3,5,1. I've tried other brands but none fits better than Kiss. They're strong and doesn't split or chip. I sometimes get the unpainted ones and polish them with my choice of color and I just love the Dollar Tree glue with the yellow and red label. I will have to check out the Chill nails.
Kiss!!! Bare but Better. I do not use glue but a gel base coat that I apply to my nail and then the natural nail. They last until you soak them off. I usually wear mine from 4 to 6 weeks.
I’m new to these, my first set of impress is still holding strong at a little over a week., and I am rough on my hands. Like someone else said, do the suggested prep follow the instructions not to get them wet for the first hour.
I LOVE the Impress pedicure. I dropped a case of canned beans on my toe in like March a few years ago and lost the whole toenail. They actually stuck to the skin for weeks. They make your toenails all look the same, which is nice because toenails are pretty weird.
Girl I still use to go the salon and make my nails long, but that’s actually a still good idea! But I still glue my nails but I’m gonna try this right now!
I just bought some press on nails for the first time in years. I will say that Impress and Olive and June both didn't fit. These are made for people with smaller/slimmer nail beds. This was a great video. Will definitely check out ur fave brand. ❤❤
I've been buying nails for my granddaughter for quite some time but really never tried myself. Had bought more IMpress than anything being there is no glue. I'd bought a couple of Christmas packs so figured why not, I'd combine designs & wear myself. I put them on for Christmas eve & just did take them off last night. And tbh, I could have left on even longer bc they still looked perfect and were completely stuck. (I wasn't even sure if I could get them off easily? Lol). I highly recommend. I'd pu some KISS ones and some others I'm now going to try but they're glue on.
Why does Pol call them press on when thrtr is glue used!? Press on are those with the sticky tape on already . Just wondering!? Kiss nails are sticking longer then others .
Interesting video. I’ve only been using press ons for maybe 6 months but impress work great for me. I know they recently changed the adhesive but mine will last for over a week. I have small hands so sizing works great and everyone always thinks they are my natural nails but I do file them down and shape them. Just curious if they have changed since you used them.
Hey! Found your channel after doing some research on glamnetics nail fit. Wanted to see if someone agreed about the small sizing, which you did! Anyways, there is a press on brand called Bonmuz and feel like you should give them a try if you haven't yet!! They have a good amount of sizes to fit a bigger nail bed and the glue quality of them is great too. Also, the packaging looks very similar to Chillhouses, so wonder if they are sister companies. If so, then I'd think you'd really like them since Chillhouse was your number 1 for this vids rankings!! 😊
When you're paying anywhere from $40 to $6 for press on nail you want them to last more than a week.I have really soft and flaky nails and when I use press on nails and they pop off with glue they take the tip of my nail with them leaving it look like I've chewed them to the nub. How can I prevent that? I've tried using the gel tabs that come with the press on nails and they don't work.
I use Kiss nails with the kiss glue and mine stay on for like 18 days! I file and buff my nails before putting them on so maybe thats how they last, mine literally dont come off until i soak them in acetone
I learned that using acetone on my nails to really dry them out before I put on my glue on nails makes them stay on a really long time. Then I put cuticle oil around my fingers and when I take them off my nails are never damaged. I agree KISS glue on are awesome.
They will last even longer with proper prep of your natural nails. Use a dehydrator. I also don't use glue, I apply a gel base coat, flash cure under IV light, apply another coat, put the nail in place a cure for full 69 seconds. They last until I soak them off. At least 6-8 weeks.
I need chill tips. Mine r always too small, sadly 4 me i used to use polygels till i got allergic reaction, my nail came off at the corners tips ect it's called onycolisis😢
Is it necessary to dehydrate my nails before sticking on adhesive nail tabs? (I'll be using press on nails as claws for my Halloween costume.) Can I just use a nail filer instead or something?
I love press on nails,but i just can get them to stay on no matter what brand.Have you ever tried shein nails they have cute nails and are realky cheap
The more transparent nails can be polished! I dont think youre suppised to wear them plain, anyway. The polish lasts for the whole time you wear the nails. Its easier to go with precolored nails, but if you can't find the color you like or just want to use up your polish colors, you can use those plain nails for that.
I think she means the transparent nails that have designs on them. Like the Kiss Gel Fantasy Sculpted Jelly Nails in the color Fun & Jelly. Some of those nails are transparent but they have a design on them.
@torey4322 It's possible she meant the ones with designs, but there are also some plain nails that are quite translucent. In any case, the glue on nails that are just a solid color or even the translucent ones with designs can be polished with good results if the nails are smooth. Someone else mentioned Kiss Bare, which are somewhat translucent. I like those because I can choose my polish color to suit myself. The polish sticks very well on these nails without chipping. But I was actually commenting on a question asked by someone in the comments regarding those plain nails. I looked for that question/comment, but I couldn't find it again. Maybe the person deleted it.
I feel like you REALLY need to do some prep work with any kind of fake nail. Clean up your cuticle, use rubbing alcohol to wipe off your natural nails, and use a clear base coat before applying the glue. Also use a bit of almond cuticle oil to help make sure your cuticles don't dry out and look harsh.
I purchased CurvLife after seeing a video. 100% do not recommend. The glue is garbage. Like literally just threw my money away. The directions were in Chinese, and I couldn't get it to hold even for a second to "cure" like the video says. Don't waste your money.
I really enjoyed your reviews. I find that Impress works best on my nails and last at least a week. I few nails might fall off but I glue them back on. You're right it's really finding the brand that fit your nails. I'm a RUclipsr also and was wondering what camera you use and which editing program you use. I must compliment you on your editing style. Personally It's the best one I've seen on RUclips, Love it. Do you do it yourself? I'd love to learn your method.
Aww thank you so much Sandra! I really appreciate you watching and your comment. I edited my own videos for many years on Premiere Pro, but about a year ago I hired an editor so I will pass along the compliments to him 😃
@@MissSarahEK Well your editor does a great job. Now I don't feel so bad because you have a pro. I'm always complimented on my Impress nails I think it's because they're a little narrow.
So far I can get damn near any nail to stick for at least a week using adhesive tabs and correct prep (cleaning, scuffing and dehydrating). But the oober cheap ones (Kmart Australia), chip and the colour rubs off as it's not actual polish. Just a pattern printed on plastic. Also, Kmart nails lack the size variety needed for my nails! My index and ring fingers are the same size on both hands, and both larger than my middle by a significant amount.
I've been wearing nails for literally over 30 years. I used to do my own tips/acrylic, buying professional supplies at the beauty supply. I switched to press ons when I was so busy with my kids I couldn't spare the time or give up the sleep to do acrylic. Honestly, I don't find the brand or type of nails affect my longevity or appearance of nails. A good prep, including prepping the nails themselves, and quality glue are what make the difference for me. I make sure I wash, thoroughly dry my hands and not have to do anything requiring me to put my hands in water for at least 3 hours after I do them. I use a dehydrator, file old glue off, trim nails and cuticles, use a block to file more making sure there's no shine. Size the nails to my fingers, do any bit of coarse filing to ensure fit. I cut the little file that comes with nails to fit the underside of false nails and file the shine off, then wipe them off with alcohol. Use acetone on my nail beds and use the best glue I can find. then rose cuticle oil just on cuticles. Mine last almost 3 weeks. Btw the nails there selling on FB now for $9.99-21.00 are the exact same nails sold on SHEIN n TEMU for $0.75-3.00, most being about $1.50. Don't fall for it. I buy SHEIN and TEMU nails and I love them.
Great video, sadly chill tips doesn't really cater to a dark/vampy aesthetic too much so none of their designs are really my fave... But glad to hear they work for people that like the designs, they're cute just not for me
Thank you, this was very helpful! I really wish chill tips had more color options, I think I might give Static a try and hope they fit me! I'm also curious about where Glamnetic nails would fit on the ranking.
Thanks for watching! I haven’t tried Glamnetic, but if I make a part 2 I’ll definitely include them! Agree I wish Chill Tips had more colors. Unfortunately their selection is pretty limited.
So what would you recommend? I also got mine from Temu, what other brands are better? I have the absolute worst luck with pulling off the tab part after i put the glue on stickers on. I ALWAYS end up pulling off the whole thing. How do you successfully remove the little tab after putting the sticker on? I have been trying this for months now and just cant seem to get the hang of it. Any thoughts/ideas as to what i am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated~!!
@@juliehanisch2691 I understand your frustration and have had similar experiences most recently. I’ve tried the AllStarry brand of tabs and they seem to be one of the best some others that aren’t bad BTArtbox and Makartt. I think the thing that I have learned about removing the cellophane tab once you’ve applied it to your nail is you need to really make sure it’s stuck down good and solid to your nail otherwise the removal of the cellophane is difficult and as you have experienced, sometimes it removes the entire tab off of your nail Good luck! 🍀
I have nails from Temu. I do not use the press on tabs, I use glue on the nails and if they flimsy I will use a builder gel to help make them a bit sturdier.
I find the Static nail glue is crazy hard to remove- even with their own remover and after 2 weeks of wear!! I don't generally use their nails though- I use Apres neutral nails or BT artbox nails and Static nail glue.
Do apply any glue to the nail? I saw a tutorial where the lady used builder gel on her real nail, cure then used nail glue to apply the press ones. I guess make them sturdy I may try that just to see.
That can be reusable, but not with the glue that they come with, so it’s false advertising. You have to get glue tabs, which they don’t provide, for them to actually be reusable 😓
Impress actually last long however the instructions are lacking at best and don’t actually give you proper instructions on how to prep your nails for longest wear. You need to keep your nail similar in length to the press on, buff the top of the nails, dry the nails out, also apply the nails when you won’t be doing anything with your hands so it can adhere to your nails for a few hours.
Definitely agree with this. The instructions are not thorough enough. And also, clearly as a company, including one alcohol wipe and one mini orange stick is financially best… but it’s not enough. I push back and dissolve excess cuticles, dry out my nails with running alcohol, buff my nails a little to get some grit on them, and *then apply them. They last 1-2 weeks usually.
Using a gel base coat and curing them under the light look like salon nails. You must properly prep your nails before applying, that is the absolute life of the nails not lifting and looking great!
Hi. Can you keep your camera steadier or not move the nails so much? Like hold the nails pose for 5 or so seconds? It’s really hard to see the fine details. Thank you for your opinion and testing all of these for us viewers. Definitely ManiMe have a long way to go. I’m liking the Chill Tips too. ❤
This is my first video i see and you are absolutely lovely. But i notice you cut a lot in your videos and it's litlle annoying. Just something to think about. Great video over all😄🤩
Hands down Kiss glue on and Impress are the best nails for price, fit and look. That's my opinion. Been using them for 3 years. Impress last 3 weeks and I usually get tired of the color and have to gently soak them off. Kiss glue on last 11 days like clock work. Lets face it for color, patterns, glue or impress you can file any of them to get the fit you want. And for price nyou can't beat Kiss or Impress. You did not do Dashing Diva press on nails? Maybe next time you can do them.
There is NO such thing as a good press on nail. I’m lucky if they last until I get to the event. Last time, despite a professional application, 3 fell off putting my hands in my pockets AND they full on look like press on.
You need to prep your nails better. Simple trick to dry out your nails and make the press on or glue nails really hold is to wipe your nails down with acetone.
I had to get the petites to get some to fit correctly. You could have smaller nail beds than the regular/short/medium/long offer. I didn't even know I could fit the petite until playing around with them doing my daughters nails.
First of all, why was the Static Nail review 2 months long and a little over 3 minutes long in the review (2:10 - 5:30) ? And all the other reviews were 20 seconds with no daily or monthly updates? Chill tips was literally like 20 seconds (5:30 - 5:49). If you’re going to review by date, please be consistent. We got no updates of when the 2 nails started chipping. Second of all - Press On Nails and Nail Stickers like Dashing Diva etc should be done in COMPLETELY separate videos. There are enough companies in both categories to do two great separate reviews. Lastly, when comparing, please be consistent with your lighting and angles. Show us different products using the same background and lighting so we can really compare each product. The Ranking portion of your video was confusing. There were too many things going on for example you would talk about one product but would still have a different product on screen. That along with different graphics and voice over were just too much going on to understand your ranking points. Use visuals to ENHANCE your point. Don’t just wave your hands in front of the camera. The nails you liked the BEST had the LEAST screen time. Don't you find that interesting?...Otherwise, I LOVE your aesthetic, and how detailed you CAN get, but you just need to be more consistent and clear. Take your time and be clear. This will really help your audience make good decisions when going out to purchase products. Also, your video graphics and intro are AMAZING. That is initially what drew me in.
That’s for all of your feedback 😊. I filmed this video over almost a year of time, so I wasn’t as with consistent with filming the exact same thing which each set of nails as I would have liked. Unfortunately I lost one of my memory cards during in the filming process and lost some of the intermediate footage, which I was disappointed about. I also wanted to avoid this video getting too long, which people tend to complain about as well. Anyways I appreciate the detailed feedback! I’ll try to keep this is mind. I’ll send the intro compliments to my editor ☺️
I think it depends on the individual set. I've had some impress sets last over 3 weeks and some where they started popping off within a week of application. I've even had some on for weeks with me going swimming multiple times within that time.
I know that 😉. They are pretty different though. One is glue on and the other is press on, plus the sizing and quality is different. Just because they have the same parent company doesn’t make them the same.
This would have been so much more helpful had she not been moving her hands and nails the whole time she was trying to show them or different aspects of them. We could all view them so much better if they were still for several seconds but there was constant movement so I had to stop the video and move on.
I probably won’t do a new take since this was filmed over a year long period, but I appreciate you watching and your comment ☺️. I definitely see what you are saying since this video has more cuts than I normally do. That was mainly because over the time I filmed this I tended to repeat myself, so I chose to do some choppier cuts so the video wouldn’t be really long and repetitive.

I have wide fat nail beds. They fit me really good. Maybe nyou need to buy the Med length. The length has a lot to do with the fit too.
Some brands have petite products which will be smaller than others. Usually this will be written on the box.
I just bought Olive & June- have you ever tried them? I love Kiss, but needed a better fit. Hoping these work because they have 21 different sizes
Have ynou ever tried to do a little adjustment with the file. That will make them perfect . I think fit is hard for them to get exact for everyone.
Olive and June are great quality!
I am using Nail-on from MeAmora which last up to 10days or more ❤ no complaints lol

prep your nails with a wipe of acetone before you put them on. Make sure they are really dry.
Dehydrate your nails and buff them up. Also switch nail glue’s.

this was so well done! Thank you for doing the important work and in such a great, thorough way
Impress fit me the best so far. I use a glue (like a nail polish style) in addition to the adhesive.

Try CurvLife and Red Aspen please
Is it necessary to dehydrate my nails before sticking on adhesive nail tabs? (I'll be using press on nails as claws for my Halloween costume.) Can I just use a nail filer instead or something?
You can use acetone or alcohol.
I just took off my impress today after 10 days - absolutely or my ride or die!!!!!
👍 And How long do they last ? ? That's good to know. If you're careful & wear gloves when you do dishes, etc.
I love press on nails,but i just can get them to stay on no matter what brand.Have you ever tried shein nails they have cute nails and are realky cheap
If you pay a drop of glue at the the cuticle end, it keeps the nail on.

Someone else mentioned Kiss Bare, which are somewhat translucent. I like those because I can choose my polish color to suit myself. The polish sticks very well on these nails without chipping.
But I was actually commenting on a question asked by someone in the comments regarding those plain nails. I looked for that question/comment, but I couldn't find it again. Maybe the person deleted it.
I use Dashing Diva that is a press on but I used glue as well and it works really well.
Great video. I’ve been itching to try press on nails. 💅
you must do it. I have not been in a salon since :( oh well (grin)
I feel like you REALLY need to do some prep work with any kind of fake nail. Clean up your cuticle, use rubbing alcohol to wipe off your natural nails, and use a clear base coat before applying the glue. Also use a bit of almond cuticle oil to help make sure your cuticles don't dry out and look harsh.
i just put impress on my nails they look great
Love that! 😀
Great video! What do you think of Curvlife?
Used acrylic on the nail form and press on your nail last for 3 weeks
Can you try CurvLife please? Do you recommend a led light? Thanks
I purchased CurvLife after seeing a video. 100% do not recommend. The glue is garbage. Like literally just threw my money away. The directions were in Chinese, and I couldn't get it to hold even for a second to "cure" like the video says. Don't waste your money.
great review! You should try Olive & June next! and in-store availability as a metric would be great too!
Thank you! I’m actually trying out Olive & June right now 😊
Thanks for the time dedicated to the research! I appreciate your advice and opinions ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching ☺️
I really enjoyed your reviews. I find that Impress works best on my nails and last at least a week. I few nails might fall off but I glue them back on. You're right it's really finding the brand that fit your nails. I'm a RUclipsr also and was wondering what camera you use and which editing program you use. I must compliment you on your editing style. Personally It's the best one I've seen on RUclips, Love it. Do you do it yourself? I'd love to learn your method.
Aww thank you so much Sandra! I really appreciate you watching and your comment. I edited my own videos for many years on Premiere Pro, but about a year ago I hired an editor so I will pass along the compliments to him 😃
@@MissSarahEK Well your editor does a great job. Now I don't feel so bad because you have a pro. I'm always complimented on my Impress nails I think it's because they're a little narrow.
So far I can get damn near any nail to stick for at least a week using adhesive tabs and correct prep (cleaning, scuffing and dehydrating). But the oober cheap ones (Kmart Australia), chip and the colour rubs off as it's not actual polish. Just a pattern printed on plastic. Also, Kmart nails lack the size variety needed for my nails! My index and ring fingers are the same size on both hands, and both larger than my middle by a significant amount.
this was so helpful thank you!!
Love your electro swing song!
I've been wearing nails for literally over 30 years. I used to do my own tips/acrylic, buying professional supplies at the beauty supply. I switched to press ons when I was so busy with my kids I couldn't spare the time or give up the sleep to do acrylic. Honestly, I don't find the brand or type of nails affect my longevity or appearance of nails. A good prep, including prepping the nails themselves, and quality glue are what make the difference for me. I make sure I wash, thoroughly dry my hands and not have to do anything requiring me to put my hands in water for at least 3 hours after I do them. I use a dehydrator, file old glue off, trim nails and cuticles, use a block to file more making sure there's no shine. Size the nails to my fingers, do any bit of coarse filing to ensure fit. I cut the little file that comes with nails to fit the underside of false nails and file the shine off, then wipe them off with alcohol. Use acetone on my nail beds and use the best glue I can find. then rose cuticle oil just on cuticles. Mine last almost 3 weeks. Btw the nails there selling on FB now for $9.99-21.00 are the exact same nails sold on SHEIN n TEMU for $0.75-3.00, most being about $1.50. Don't fall for it. I buy SHEIN and TEMU nails and I love them.
The floral stickers may look better over a color polish. :)
Can you review Glamnetic nails?
I want to try those out soon! Will make a review if I do 🥰
Great video, sadly chill tips doesn't really cater to a dark/vampy aesthetic too much so none of their designs are really my fave... But glad to hear they work for people that like the designs, they're cute just not for me
What's best way to take them off, the glue ones?
Lightly file off the top layer usually shiny then soak in acetone.
Thank you, this was very helpful! I really wish chill tips had more color options, I think I might give Static a try and hope they fit me!
I'm also curious about where Glamnetic nails would fit on the ranking.
Thanks for watching! I haven’t tried Glamnetic, but if I make a part 2 I’ll definitely include them! Agree I wish Chill Tips had more colors. Unfortunately their selection is pretty limited.
Such a great comparison and review video!
So glad to hear that! Thanks for watching 🥰
Warning. The press on tabs on a Temu are crap. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID. Thank You for sharing!
So what would you recommend? I also got mine from Temu, what other brands are better? I have the absolute worst luck with pulling off the tab part after i put the glue on stickers on. I ALWAYS end up pulling off the whole thing. How do you successfully remove the little tab after putting the sticker on? I have been trying this for months now and just cant seem to get the hang of it. Any thoughts/ideas as to what i am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated~!!
@@juliehanisch2691 I understand your frustration and have had similar experiences most recently. I’ve tried the AllStarry brand of tabs and they seem to be one of the best some others that aren’t bad BTArtbox and Makartt. I think the thing that I have learned about removing the cellophane tab once you’ve applied it to your nail is you need to really make sure it’s stuck down good and solid to your nail otherwise the removal of the cellophane is difficult and as you have experienced, sometimes it removes the entire tab off of your nail Good luck! 🍀
Mine from Temu are great. Stayed on for 2 weeks
I have nails from Temu. I do not use the press on tabs, I use glue on the nails and if they flimsy I will use a builder gel to help make them a bit sturdier.
Thank you so much for this video! Great job!!!❤
Thank you so much. Great video! Very professional.
I find the Static nail glue is crazy hard to remove- even with their own remover and after 2 weeks of wear!! I don't generally use their nails though- I use Apres neutral nails or BT artbox nails and Static nail glue.
Red Aspen are the best press on nails ever!
When I used to wear press ons I would use Tres She. They are quality. If I went back to them I would do that brand 1000000%
Thank you for this video!!!!
What about Glamermaid?
Use brush on glue straight on the whole nail and you won’t see the glue
Do apply any glue to the nail? I saw a tutorial where the lady used builder gel on her real nail, cure then used nail glue to apply the press ones. I guess make them sturdy I may try that just to see.
Try clutch nails
That can be reusable, but not with the glue that they come with, so it’s false advertising. You have to get glue tabs, which they don’t provide, for them to actually be reusable 😓
PS.Which camera do you use and like?
I film on a Canon EOS 90D :)
Go head and say heck no but this loctite ultra control gel is working is water resistant durable I have sensitive skin but I still good!
Yikes! You are asking for it. Don’t be the next Gorilla Glue girl!
Red aspen is best
Have you ever tried OPI or Glamnetic?
I haven’t! Have you tried them?
@@MissSarahEK OPI, yes…love them. Haven’t tried Glamnetic yet, they seem similar to OPI; I’ll be trying them soon.
Impress actually last long however the instructions are lacking at best and don’t actually give you proper instructions on how to prep your nails for longest wear. You need to keep your nail similar in length to the press on, buff the top of the nails, dry the nails out, also apply the nails when you won’t be doing anything with your hands so it can adhere to your nails for a few hours.
Definitely agree with this. The instructions are not thorough enough. And also, clearly as a company, including one alcohol wipe and one mini orange stick is financially best… but it’s not enough.
I push back and dissolve excess cuticles, dry out my nails with running alcohol, buff my nails a little to get some grit on them, and *then apply them.
They last 1-2 weeks usually.
The best glue on nails are Red Aspen they are great all around.
Awesome I’ll have to check those out!
Great review!!
are these environmentally friendly though?
Hmm, probably not as much as nail polish but I would think equal to acrylic nails
No opi?
I haven’t tried those yet! Maybe in another video 😊
Aren't kiss and impress the same brand?
They are owned by the same brand! But the nails are different between kiss and impress
@@MissSarahEK thanks for clarifying! I found this video like a week after putting in an order with them 😅
Using a gel base coat and curing them under the light look like salon nails. You must properly prep your nails before applying, that is the absolute life of the nails not lifting and looking great!
I love, love Impress! They last me 10- 14 days. I put on at night and don't get wet until the am. They fit me perfectly. I think you are a hack. 😅
I’m glad you are enjoying impress!!
Hi. Can you keep your camera steadier or not move the nails so much? Like hold the nails pose for 5 or so seconds? It’s really hard to see the fine details. Thank you for your opinion and testing all of these for us viewers. Definitely ManiMe have a long way to go. I’m liking the Chill Tips too. ❤
Thanks for your feedback 🙏
Press ons were an epic fail for me. Too long. Pop off. This is the 3rd time and I have trued different brands. 😢 wish they would have worked.
This is my first video i see and you are absolutely lovely. But i notice you cut a lot in your videos and it's litlle annoying. Just something to think about. Great video over all😄🤩
Thanks for watching and your feedback!
Didn’t like static nails during Covid
Hands down Kiss glue on and Impress are the best nails for price, fit and look. That's my opinion. Been using them for 3 years. Impress last 3 weeks and I usually get tired of the color and have to gently soak them off. Kiss glue on last 11 days like clock work. Lets face it for color, patterns, glue or impress you can file any of them to get the fit you want. And for price nyou can't beat Kiss or Impress. You did not do Dashing Diva press on nails? Maybe next time you can do them.
I felt they were crap. Poor choice of nail sizes and didn’t last
Manime look like colorstreet
Oh interesting! I haven't tried colorstreet but I'll take a look!
Colorstreet looks more real than Manime on the nail since they are real nail polish. You won’t regret these when applied correctly. 😊
I'm surprised you didn't review the Nailest or the Nail Shop by SB, I don't know how you could miss those brands with how big they are
Thanks for the suggestions! I haven't heard of either of those, but I will check them out!
Consider major differences based on where you live. Those brands don't exist where I live.
There is NO such thing as a good press on nail. I’m lucky if they last until I get to the event. Last time, despite a professional application, 3 fell off putting my hands in my pockets AND they full on look like press on.
You need to prep your nails better. Simple trick to dry out your nails and make the press on or glue nails really hold is to wipe your nails down with acetone.
I get at least a week out of mine. Every time. 🤔
I had to get the petites to get some to fit correctly. You could have smaller nail beds than the regular/short/medium/long offer. I didn't even know I could fit the petite until playing around with them doing my daughters nails.
EXCELLENT video fyi
Impress and kiss are the same brand 😂
They are owned by the same a parent company but they are not the same brand. Also the fit and quality are different.
Glamnetics are the best!!
I just ordered some to try!
The BEST press-on nails is DASHING DIVA..
I’ll have to look into that!
Are they durable ? I have four kids and a lot of dishes lol
First of all, why was the Static Nail review 2 months long and a little over 3 minutes long in the review (2:10 - 5:30) ? And all the other reviews were 20 seconds with no daily or monthly updates? Chill tips was literally like 20 seconds (5:30 - 5:49). If you’re going to review by date, please be consistent. We got no updates of when the 2 nails started chipping. Second of all - Press On Nails and Nail Stickers like Dashing Diva etc should be done in COMPLETELY separate videos. There are enough companies in both categories to do two great separate reviews. Lastly, when comparing, please be consistent with your lighting and angles. Show us different products using the same background and lighting so we can really compare each product. The Ranking portion of your video was confusing. There were too many things going on for example you would talk about one product but would still have a different product on screen. That along with different graphics and voice over were just too much going on to understand your ranking points. Use visuals to ENHANCE your point. Don’t just wave your hands in front of the camera. The nails you liked the BEST had the LEAST screen time. Don't you find that interesting?...Otherwise, I LOVE your aesthetic, and how detailed you CAN get, but you just need to be more consistent and clear. Take your time and be clear. This will really help your audience make good decisions when going out to purchase products. Also, your video graphics and intro are AMAZING. That is initially what drew me in.
That’s for all of your feedback 😊. I filmed this video over almost a year of time, so I wasn’t as with consistent with filming the exact same thing which each set of nails as I would have liked. Unfortunately I lost one of my memory cards during in the filming process and lost some of the intermediate footage, which I was disappointed about. I also wanted to avoid this video getting too long, which people tend to complain about as well. Anyways I appreciate the detailed feedback! I’ll try to keep this is mind.
I’ll send the intro compliments to my editor ☺️
Pattie you sound like a miserable person. Why don’t you take all you details on how to make the perfect nail video and make one yourself.
You definitely didn't prep your nails for the Impress. They do last a good 6-8 days
Hmm, I followed the instructions, so I think I prepped them properly! Glad to hear you can get so long from them though!
Moreover I find that some sets of impress nails can lose their tackiness due to being old, and also in cases of too- cold storage
I think it depends on the individual set. I've had some impress sets last over 3 weeks and some where they started popping off within a week of application. I've even had some on for weeks with me going swimming multiple times within that time.
Glamnetic!
Who gonna tell her that impress is a version of kiss????
I know that 😉. They are pretty different though. One is glue on and the other is press on, plus the sizing and quality is different. Just because they have the same parent company doesn’t make them the same.
@MissSarahEK I've always found them very similar and u wasn't trying to be rude sorry if I was
This would have been so much more helpful had she not been moving her hands and nails the whole time she was trying to show them or different aspects of them. We could all view them so much better if they were still for several seconds but there was constant movement so I had to stop the video and move on.
Thanks for your feedback!
Too wordy 😢
😢
Please improve the cut of your videos. You often cut yourself off and it comes off really unnatural.
Thanks for your feedback 🤍
I thought it was quite professionally done
Bad day @Thoughts.Strings?
I really liked the concept of this video. However, I can barely listen to you. Every 2 seconds is a cut. Pls just do a new take.
I probably won’t do a new take since this was filmed over a year long period, but I appreciate you watching and your comment ☺️. I definitely see what you are saying since this video has more cuts than I normally do. That was mainly because over the time I filmed this I tended to repeat myself, so I chose to do some choppier cuts so the video wouldn’t be really long and repetitive.
