Nail Care Routine For Busy Moms
A few months ago, one of my college girlfriends (also a mom) told me about these nails that she uses and loves. At the time, I thought “why would I want to spend money on fake nails?” Honestly, I always enjoy the time I can spend painting my nails with some “me time” and watching a movie. But we all know… mom life leaves very little “me time” and even when we do get that time, waiting for nails to dry is usually not a priority! ?

So I decided to try the press-on nails that some of my college girlfriends are currently raving about. I picked up my first box of imPRESS Nails at Target and followed all the instructions to put them on a movie night with my husband.
So, all in all, after my first experience with Impress Nails, I was hopeful but saw some areas for improvement. I now have a great system for doing these nails that works well for me and my mom’s lifestyle! So I bought some more fun patterns and colors for the holiday season!
One of my favorite aspects of using these press-on nails is that I can add fun to my nails on the cheap and I don’t have to worry about chipping my nails after just a day or two (and whether or not. my chipped nail polish will somehow end up in my child’s food or mouth!) ??♀️
After my second attempt at press-on nails, here are some tips and tricks to make these nails work for your mom lifestyle:

So far, my overall impressions (hah!) of these nails are that they are a fun option to have nails as a mom of an active little one! They are very easy to press on and not too “thick” or in the way of my regular nails. They also last REALLY well. The box states that these nails should last “several days” but I found they lasted over a week for me! The first time, they were a little annoying because I didn’t put clear polish under the nail and the accent nail I was wearing had foil on it, which started to peel and was annoying. With any fake nail, eventually you will see the edges start to peel and when I see my hair start to stick under the nail, I am SUPER annoyed. But that was inevitable and I’m glad it was closer to a week and a half until that happened with the first round of these nails.
All in all, this is a must buy for any mom with little ones who still wants to add some fun to their nails! I think it’s a great loving option for the mom lifestyle and even better – it’s a great price! Most boxes are under $10 and if you follow some of my tips above, I think you can get at least two different wears out of one box! (Cheaper than going to a nail salon.)
I think these press-on nails would make a great last-minute stocking stuffer gift (you can find them at Target or Walmart), or would just be fun to throw in your cart and treat yourself to a mom’s self-care moment. night!
Let me know if you’ve tried these imPRESS press-on nails – I’d love to know what you think of them or if you’ve found any other tips or tricks to make them last longer for your active mom style!
