Today, I have something pretty different to share with you!
These are the Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-On Manicure nails that you have probably seen at places like Target. (You may remember me sharing the press release about them back in April.)
Thanks to Broadway Nails’ very generous PR team, I have several designs to try out. (I actually have received two additional designs since photographing the ones for this post – yeah, lots and lots of nails!)
The strange thing is that even though I always enjoyed painting my nails, I’ve never tried press-on nails before from any brand. So, these will be my very first! (Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed that I can apply them correctly!)
This is a Quick Look post, so I’ll just give you some close-up photos of each of the five designs, as well as focus on how cute the packaging is – it’s in the shape of nail-polish bottle! I love it! 🙂
In a future post, I’ll do my usual in-depth review with lots of swatches. That’s when I’ll let you know my experience with them, how they wore, how easy or difficult they were to apply, and anything else important worth mentioning.
I’ll put them through a tough test because my full-time job requires me to type a lot on the keyboard. Also, I tend to wash my hands often. I’m curious to see if they’ll hold up to all that or if they’re better suited for special occasions.
My fingers and nails are small and narrow, so it’ll be interesting to see if they’ll fit me. (I think that my nails are smaller than average, since most of the nails displayed on the front of the packaging are too big for me. However, each package comes with 24 different tips, so there’s a good chance my size will be in the mix.
Also, while all my nails are on the curvy side, my index fingernails are extra curvy. I’m going to see if these press-on nails will stick to even my curvy nails. Stay tuned for a future review!
But, for now, let’s just drool over the cute designs!

Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-On Manicure Pictures
These tie-dye ones are so much fun, and totally remind me of great childhood memories when I went to summer camp and made tie-dye shirts, socks, and scrunchies.
All the summer camps I went to were artsy ones where we’d do pottery, make necklaces, paint, draw, sing, dance, and act. At the end of the two weeks, we’d perform a play for all the parents. Although it was never a musical, there were always lots of songs, which were really fun to learn and rehearse!
The next design is so elegant, yet it has a little bit of funk because of the glitter.

I love how citrus-y these ones look! Plus the glitter gives it an almost sugary effect, so what comes to mind first is a fuzzy-peach candy. (Then again, I could just be craving candy when I was working on this post.) 😉
This one’s neat because it’s soft and natural-looking, but then there’s glitter to add some fun!
When I first laid eyes on these pop-art press-on nails, I fell in love! You know how much I love bold colours and bold nail art, so this is right up my alley.
The container is super cute because it’s shaped like a bottle of nail polish!
(In case you’re wondering, I did a blog post on the nail art you see on my thumb.)
You open the package by first popping off the cap.
Then the body of the ‘nail-polish bottle’ opens up like a jaw.
This is where the other nail sizes are stored.
Here’s a close-up of one of the nails, so you can see the detail better. Also, notice how there’s a tab at the top.
Also note that, on the other side, the glitter isn’t completely even and smooth. That’s okay because, according to the packaging, you can file the nails during the first hour.
Here’s a better look at all the different sizes you get.
It’s a nail army! 😉
Here are the instructions on the back of the box.
Would you wear or have you ever worn press-on nails? Which of these designs calls out to you the loudest?
Very cool designs. I’m not a fan of press on nails, but these are cute. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Melissa!
Press-on nails aren’t for everyone, but it sure was interesting for me to try them for the first time! 🙂 I’ve never worn ANY press-ons prior to this.
Oooooh, I love the comic book/pop art ones! I have small, curvy nails, too, so I’m interested to see how they work for you in that regard. Can’t wait for your full review 🙂
Hey Kristina!
It’s coming up really soon! 🙂 Stay tuned!
i’m always curious about these does the glue damage the nail??i have one with liquid glue but i don’t want to chance it and damage my poor nails
Hey Mara!
I successfully removed these press-on nails, and there was no damage to my natural nails! 😀 I’ll review these in-depth in a future post soon.
I like the pop art looking ones. Wish they were nail strips, though instead of press-ons….

Hey Lizzy!
I have some nail strips that I need to test out. The thing is that since my fingers are so skinny, I’ll probably need to trim them first to make them fit, whereas these press-ons surprisingly had sizes that fit me pretty well! 🙂
Very cool! I’ve never tried press on nails before… at least not since I was a little kid.
Hey Zoey!
I was never able to wear them, even as a kid, because my fingers were always too skinny! But I’m so happy that these fit my nails, even though now I STILL have skinny fingers! Will review these soon!
Love these cute designs, especially the blue glitter tips! I’ve never tried press-on nails before…I’m curious as to how these will perform!
Hey Jessica!
Those were the first ones that I tried – expect a detailed review on them soon! 🙂
After the nightmare that is glitter polish removal, I think I’d definitely be willing to try some press-ons! 😀
Hey Mary!
They’re REALLY easy to remove, despite sticking onto the nail fairly well! 🙂 My in-depth review on one of the designs is coming up soon!
love glitter and cartoons!
Hey Isa!
It would be fun to mix and match nails in a single manicure! Maybe not with these designs, but Broadway Nails has other glitter designs that would match the pop-art ones.
I’ve tried press on nails years ago when I was in high school, but I was a nail biter, and there wasn’t much for them to adhere to 🙁 Those comic book ones look so cute!
Hey Kim!
I was also a nail biter when I was younger!
I tried these not long ago. While it was easily to apply and looked gorgeous, it didn’t last longer than 2-3 days.
Hey Melinda!
I will be reviewing these in-depth very soon because I wore them for a solid 3 days and put them up against a very hard test! I found that I could’ve worn them longer, but, I was itching to paint my nails! 😉
I’ve never tried press-on nails before, either! I’m worried about not being able to use my hands normally with them on, like opening jars and typing and stuff like that. Looking forward to reading abut your experience!
Hey Katie!
The review will be coming as soon as I crop the photos. 🙂 Stay tuned!
I found that I was able to function as normal with them. I have long nail beds, so these nails were short on me, which allowed me to type and do everything normally. Further details to come!
