Impress Nails from Broadway Nails

I received these nails from Influenster to try out in my latest VoxBox.
There were several things I liked about them.
1.  The look.  These were very clean and neat looking.  The OCD personality in me loved that.  It made me look like I was really, really good at applying nail polish.  Haha.
2.  The size range was fabulous.  I have really small hands, and oftentimes I find I have to cut down any stick on nails.  These had such a large range, I was really happy with the size options, and I was able to find some to fit even my weenie little nails.
3.  The colour choices were cute, too.  While I wasn't a huge fan of the hot pink I received, upon checking out some of the other colour options available, I was interested to try out some other pairs.
4.  Ease of removal.  These came off very easily, almost faster than it was to put them on, and left my natural nails undamaged.

What I didn't like:
1.  The GLUE PAD.  Effing glue pad.  I don't know if it's because they expect people to have larger or longer nails than I have, but when I wear fake nails, it's because I have short nails and want to look fancy-dancy.  So the fact that the glue pad stuck out farther than my natural nail drove me bonkers.  Dirt stuck to it.  Dust stuck to it.  My skin stuck to it.  NOT. COOL.
2.  The wear was also not great.  I had the first nail get loose the next day.  This wasn't what I was used to, as I had used Broadway nails previously (like a decade ago), and those nails had always lasted a week or so.  I was able to press down and get them to stick a wee bit longer, but eventually removed them due to annoyance with the wiggling.


In summary, while I did like these nails, there were some downsides.  I think they'd be fantastic for a flirty weekend or a night out, but for everyday I think they're a fail.  If you want to look like you just got a fabulous manicure for a fancy dinner without the fabulous manicure price, seriously pick these up.  :)
