I have my skirtings, my d&d walls and my no-nails. Is it as easy as it says on the tin - beads on the boards and press on? I've always used screws and plugs in the past but would rather not as it's drylined and I've pre painted the boards - but I don't want a disaster!

Dot n' dab along the board at alternate high/low sequence and you're good to go. (y)
Maybe push a heavy object against the board as you move along to maintain grip while the gunk bonds.
 
Screw and plug will be easier to remove than no nails, and you can sink the screws and fill the gap. Pretty much everyone uses sealant nowadays but I would go for screws as easier to remove or replace.

I used sticks like **** and very good - much quicker and easier than screwing but as blup has said very difficult to change (atleast without damage). When my partner changed her mind and wanted a different skirting profile after fitting a few lengths, to pull it off the next day pulled away alot of the skim coat with it - so defintiely sticks!
