Review – Press On Nail Polish

Thursday Mar 5, 2009

I picked up some of that press on nail polish in Walgreens.  It was on clearance – I would never have paid full price for it.  My frugality would never let me!  Anyway,  I quite like the stuff.  It takes a little bit to get used to having a steady hand to lay it down straight.  Then you press & file it till it kind of bends/breaks off around your fingers & at the tips.  I’d rate it the same hassle as painting your nails, just with different drawbacks.  Oh, one other thing – I got the bright pink for toes (see bottom pic) and I squeezed out a mani as well – I used them very strategically.

The + side: no waiting to dry, no smudging, no spills, can stop in the middle & do stuff, still come off with normal nail polish remover.

The – side: juggling lots of little bits (nail stickers, file, orange stick, wrapping/trash), still takes time, can still look messy if you’re not careful, the tips nearly always end up looking a little worn off already, the clear coat part can peel of & look icky, doesn’t peel off when you’re bored of it (like I wish it would).
