Most Helpful Positive Review Great Press-on Nails I was a little skeptical of these nails after reading the reviews but i figured they were inexpensive enough for me to try it for my YouTube Channel. I selected the sizes and followed the directions closely, including the part about leaving the both thumbs until the end. At the beginning I didn't think that would matter but as I started using my thumbs to press down all of the nails it made total sense. So, what's that have to do with the price of tea in China? The point is you have to follow the directions and pay attention to which end goes against the nail bed so that it fits. At first I couldn't understand why the nails look so big then I realized that I was trying to size them up-side-down. Good thing I hadn't peeled the adhesive off yet. I ended up with a beautiful set of nails and have had nothing but compliments from my viewers and some have asked me what nails I'm wearing. I have relatively small hands as I'm part Asian so I know I won't get 3 sets of nails out of the set although there are 30 pieces. Having said that I'm saving the extras so I can mix and match with other colors. The nails stayed on for 10 days but I wanted to put on a new set so I had to remove them and it was a little difficult to pull off at first but it didn't leave any damage to my own nails. I really like that I don't have to use glue which can damage my own nails. This current set is lasting about 12 days and will change it in a couple of more days as y nails are growing out now. Overall these are great nails and I am incredibly happy with them. The recommendations I have for anyone applying these is to thoroughly read the directions and be patient on the first set. The harder you press and hold, the longer it will last. Always press down from the nail bed side and slide the nails slightly under the cuticles and not over them so that it has a nice seal. Use a pushing back motion with the edge of the nail that goes towards the cuticles and let it seat slightly below and done!
Most Helpful Critical Review Awful experience So these are a nice size, they feel nice, and they look great. Plus they have a good color selection. Everything about these nails goes downhill from there. I have tiny hands and nail beds so the size selection was limited and hard to work with... lots of wonky looking nails out the gate. I tried them without glue and they were awful. Getting my hair stuck under them, popping off, and the adhesive runs the length of the nail so it collects fuzziness and lint and starts looking nasty on the undersides. 🤢 THEN clumps of adhesive (that's now gray, by the way) start dangling from under the nails...just ew. So I figured, whatever, I'll glue them. This solved the issue of them popping off but not my hair getting stuck or the gross adhesive issues. BUUUT... the glue melted(?) The adhesive to my actual nails so they were almost impossible to take off and I ended up ripping up layers of my nails, bruising them, and I STILL had chunks of adhesive stuck to my nails after acetone, buffing, and picking at it trying to get it off. I literally can't wear them without glue or get them off once the glue is on. Not going to rebuy. Such a bad design that even when they're glued down (and they're REALLY ON THERE!) my hair still gets snagged? Seriously? Such a bummer because they look and feel super nice.

VT from Sherman, TX
I really wanted to love these, but I hate them! I've used the KISS acrylic press ons for years and love them so wanted to try the OPI Impress. These are very flimsy and bend easily. I always file them to the shape I want,but the glue tab just sticks off the end of the nail. I had to take tweezers to pull the excess tab off. I can usually go 2 weeks with press ons but I'm sure these will be off before the weekend is over. Will be taking what's left back to Ulta for a refund.
No more expensive salon trips 5
Deb from Artesia CA
Skip the nail salon. If you follow the directions they last over a week and look beautiful. I love Kiss nails. I've been using them for over a year and won't change from them. Apply before bed so you won't have your hands in water/washing hands etc. Thus they can set well. Also, first buff or file tops of your own nails then wipe with the alcohol swab. The Kiss nails adhere better that way. Choose the smaller rather than bigger size from the kit. You don't have to completely fill in each nailbed and they stay on better that way.
Worth it 5
Jossy from Pinole
I personally love the opi color collection, they look somewhat more realistic. I wore a baby pick prior to this one and they lasted me about 2 weeks. Im currently wearing these and are lasting the same time. Dulce de leche is such a cute brown/pink color it's honestly my favorite so far. You must find the right size for each nail, in order for it to stick. Also make sure to press down on the nails for 30 sec.
Lasted over a week with proper application 5
Annie from North Carolina
I have had a few sets of these nails and what I've learned is that application is everything. My sets usually last me over a week and then I remove them.
Apply them as instructed but definitely be sure to press down firmly and hold for a second. The key is applying them shortly before bed because they have time to really set that way. Not getting your hands wet for the first few hours is imperative.
After those first few hours these nails will stick on VERY well. They won't come off until you want them off. The only downside is that the cuticle side doesn't have adhesive all the way down to it, so when you run your fingers through your hair it'll go under that part and doesn't feel nice. The nails are also a little soft so I have damaged them opening soda cans and such before.
Adhesive Doesn't Hold 1
Jaimi from Moses Lake, WA
These didn't even last 24 hours. They're great for a quick photo shoot or single event, but do not hole well at all. Easy application. Great length and shape, but won't buy again
Not waterproof 2
AEG from San Diego
Applying these nails was easy and at first glance they looked good BUT within 30 mins they started popping off and I had to reapply new nails. They are not waterproof at all and my hair would get stuck under the nails if I ran my fingers through my hair. Perhaps using nail glue would work better but the built adhesive does not work. I would maybe try these again with nail glue but it is likely I will not be purchasing these again.

Sunnilicious from Burbank Los Angeles California
I'm glad that I opted for the Dulce de Leche Nails by OPI Impress. This was my first time purchasing this beauty product. I put my first set on this morning. Good length because I'm not young to wear dragon nails anymore. Simple to use. Economical. Basic color like in the shades of taupe. Looks pretty nice and normal.
Im impressed 5
Kate from Beaverton, OR
I was so skeptical on these after reading the reviews because my last set of kiss press on nails were falling off all the time. These are going to be my new go to!!! It's been a week now with them on, haven't even felt a concern that they were going to fall off. I've showered with them multiple times now, done dishes without gloves on. Make sure to file and buff your nails, clean them with an alcohol prep pad and size before you take off the plastic. Save thumbs for last, press hard for about 30 seconds per nail and make sure you have them pointed the right way. Even my coworkers are asking where I went to get my nails done. Oh and keep your nails kinda long, just a bit under the size of the nails because the adhesive does go up quite a ways.

Cute Nails! 4
Ashley from ❤️❤️❤️
Very cute nails, lasted a whole weekend with a my pointer and my thumb on my right hand needing replacing. Loved the color, wanted to wear them again but did not come with enough of the right sizes for me to make a second set. Otherwise would have been five stars.

Absolutely I would buy this product again 5
Cynny from Lake Forest California
This product is wonderful I sand my nails a little, then I'll take the sticky off of the nails I also use a brush on glue as well and I pick my size hold him down and they are just wonderful. My nails stay on usually for one and a half almost 2 weeks, and that's with getting wet showers cleaning doing whatever. I always get compliments everybody thinks I get my nails done.
Great for the price! 5
Nail Girl from New Mexico
I love these. I'm new to press on nails and this kit was easy to use. They lasted longer than expected and I got so many compliments on them! Not too painful to remove and amazing for the price.
Skip the OPI Nails 1
Elle from Chicago
I have been using Kiss Impress nails since last year. Getting manicures in person just wasn't an option anymore. Regular Kiss Impress nails are great, the tabs are easy to use and stay on easily two weeks with maybe one or two nails popping early. These OPI nails have a different adherent and they do not stay on. 100% disappointment. Within two days I removed them - actually most of them removed themselves. Stay with the cheaper orignial Kiss Impress and skip the OPI nails - they are not the same.

Love the color but didn't work for me 3
Nails of similar sizes from Boston, MA
I bought these to give my nails the chance to grow after breaking one. Unfortunately there are not enough of each size for my nails to get a good fit, and this led to the press-one popping off way before they were supposed to. I think I'll stick to polish in the future!
NEEDS GLUE! 2
Kasey from Louisiana
These don't stay on with the adhesive they come with. You HAVE to glue them. If you glue them on, they're beautiful! Looks just like I got my nails done with gel at a salon. The color is great. But buyer beware - do NOT trust the adhesive on these nails. Buy glue and use that with them!!
Multiple fall offs within 3 hrs. 1
Jean from Newport Beach, CA
These were horrible and so embarrassing. I followed the directions and made sure my nails were cleaned with the provided wipe. The nails are a great length, looked nice but every time I looked down I was missing a nail. I was at a super bowl party searching for my press ons in the couch, on the floor, etc. I was absolutely doing nothing that would've not these nails off. Not to mention they get caught from the cuticle end any time you run your fingers in your hair. I brought multiple nails in case I had a mishap. But I went through five mishaps in the span of a four hour party where I was sitting and watching football. These nails are short enough that nothing showed up knock them off. I looked down and would have a missing one and find it on the floor. Absolutely terrible.
