I’m finally back from my two week summer holiday, hence the
lack of posts recently, and couldn’t wait to get back into the blogging
routine! :)
Since I’m not allowed to wear polish or false nails for work
I took up the opportunity to try a few polishes and nails I had been saving for
a while! After reading about Impress nails on fleurdeforce’s blog I went out
and grabbed some for my holiday. The set comes with 10 different nail sizes for
each hand. I have quite small nails so I was a little worried that there wouldn’t
be sizes to fit as most false nail sets don’t, however, I was pleasantly
surprised at the size range it contained! The thing I loved most about these
nails is the simplicity of applying them.
In the past when attempting to apply false nails I usually get the glue
all over my fingers, put on too much or not enough and it is always a complete disaster!
To apply these nails you peel off the plastic from the back of the nail, press
the nail onto yours and hold for around 30 seconds to a minute. You can file
the nails down to the length you like but I don’t feel like they are incredibly
long as they come. These nails lasted for 5 days for me until 1 or 2 started to
peel off (they probably would’ve lasted longer if I didn’t get tonnes of sand
underneath them!)

After I had removed my Impress nails I changed my nails
colour every 3 or 4 days. The polishes I took with me were the Max Effect mini
nail polishes as I find they are both good quality and take up zero room in
your suitcase! I also purchased a few of these polishes whilst on holiday as
they were only €2.50, which when I worked
this price out in pounds was equivalent to around £1.90 compared to the UK
price of £3.99. BARGAIN :)
The three colours I choose were
Diva Coral, Chilled Lilac and Mellow Yellow. All are my favourite colours for
summer and I felt they really helped to show off my tan! (Added bonus for me as
I don’t tan easily/don’t love lying in the sun!) As I mentioned they are all
amazing quality giving opaque coverage after two coats and, although I changed
them every few days, the polish had not chipped at all!
