Broadway Nails imPRESS

This spring I was honored to be qualified for the Spring Fever VoxBox from Influenster! I just got my VoxBox a few days ago and will be reviewing products I received complimentary for testing purposes during the next few weeks.

Today I'm reviewing Broadway Nails ImPRESS nails I received. Also you can go on their website and get a $1 off coupon.


The package comes with basically one set of nails that last a week, but comes with more options since all nail sizes are different. I had some nails that fit perfectly and others not so perfect. They come in a shorter length so I had to file my nails down. They stuck on pretty well, but at times was hard to peel of the protector sheet to reveal the stickiness. All in all they work really well for a special occasion, but didn't hold up too well for my day to day life. I will say that I didn't have one of them pop off, like the ones I used to put on as a child. :)

Day 15 - Delicate Print!

Hello, again! I realize I'm a day later than I said I would be, but I'm happy I finally accomplished delicate print! It was a real doozy. At first my vision was to do some sort of stamping, but I really need to practice stamping more. I've watched tons of tutorials, and still can not achieve what I want. Anyway, I'll figure it out someday. So with delicate print I went more literal, and did comic book nails! Hey, I'd describe the pages of an Archie comic book to be delicate print, wouldn't you? Haha.



They're no where near perfect, but they're fun. I used Jordana French Tip white as the base coat. Allowed it to dry, and poured rubbing alcohol in a shot glass. I dipped a finger in for 30 seconds, stuck on the newsprint and pressed firmly down for another 30 seconds, the slowly pealed the newsprint off. Once each finger was done (and dry, very important) I used my favorite Seche Vite Top Coat.

Update.. on ME.

I realize it's been a few too many days since I have posted anything. It's definitely been a whirlwind these past few days. My husband rescued an 8 week old puppy, after seeing him thrown out of a car window (while the car was in motion). This poor thing was covered in ticks, stuck everywhere (and I mean everywhere) with fox tails, swollen eyes, and completely malnourished. We are die hard animal lovers, like my biggest dream in life is to have a large property with all sorts for animals. So we took the puppy to the vet, got him treated, medicated and free of stickers and ticks. He has an eye infection in both eyes, which we hope will heal in the next week or so. Anyway, meet the newest member to our little family, Iggy.


Anyway, besides the chaos of taking care of a sick puppy, and preparing our house for him. I also had a job interview yesterday for a part time job that's perfect for me (fingers crossed I get it!), and my Great Uncle came into town. He's my Grandma's only sibling, she's 89 and he's 91, so it was really important to me to visit with them. My Grandma and I have always been extremely close, she lived next door to me from birth to when I moved out on my own at 18. She has had a tremendous impact on who I am today. 

I will be doing my nails tonight (unless my husband rescues another animal, haha!) and hopefully posting it tomorrow. I promise I'll be back to my same old routine soon.

Day 14 - Flowers!

As I have gotten further along in this 31 Day Nail Challenge, the more intricate the challenges get. Because of this I have decided to do my nails every other day, or every few days. Just so I can enjoy my hard works a few days before removing and starting the next challenge.

At this point in the challenge it's safe to say that each challenge from here on out will be a new experience for me. Well besides water marbling, but that was such a fail that I still can't say I have much experience in that one either. Haha. So I took to the web, to research flowers, and how to tutorials. It was NailNerd.com : How to Paint Rose on Your Nails that caught my eye and gave me the know how to do what I had imagined on my nails.



Light Blue & Pink Spring Vintage Flower Nails

I used Wet n Wild Megalast I need a Re-Fresh Mint as the base coat. Took about 3 coats. I dabbed the flowers on my nails with Pure Ice Gossip! and drew in the details with Sally Hansen, Hard as Nails, Hard-core Party. For the leafs I used Pure Ice Wild Thing, and a un-marked bottle in a grass green color.
