Jamberry Nails

   

       Welcome back! This week I am going to be reviewing Jamberry Nail Wraps!  Now, i'll start off by saying that this is a product that I was not a believer of.  I really like going to the salon to get gel nails, BUT I still always liked the really cute designs that Jamberry had.
       The first time that I tried these nails I was at a friends house and she had the nail dryer and application kit and all of the stuff they suggest having in order to put these nails on.....after having all of this my nails still came off the day after I put them on.  I want to emphasize that the most important part of getting these nails to work is the APPLIATION TECHNIQUE that you use.
       2 years after my failed attempt to put these nails on my lovely friend had a Jamberry party and I figured that if people kept buying these nails then maybe my technique was flawed, not the nails themselves. SO, I set out to give these bad boys another try.

Here are the order of events in which I'd like to talk about my experience: 

1.) What a sheet of nails include 

2.) The BEST application technique/materials I used 

3.) Before and after Photos

4.) Lastly, would I use them again?

1.) This is what you get when you order a set of Jamberry Wraps

I understood that when I ordered that I would get enough for 2 manicures but I couldn't figure out how to get 2 pedicures out of these because none of the wraps seemed small enough for toes.  BUT, if you look at the picture above, you're suppose to cut up a big one to get little wraps for your toes, duhhh, so now ill have to go back and try this sometime. 

2.) BEST application technique that actually works

To do this I didn't have ANY of the Jamberry nail kits or nail heater (i'm too cheap, however i'm sure they would have been helpful to have).  To put on these nails I used: A hairdryer, scissors, a plastic bag, a freezer pack, and nail clippers (lucy's baby ones worked the best!).  

*It really wasn't that hard, and the best advice in this video was to get the tip hot and pull it down over my nail to make sure I got the seal on really good at the edge of my nail before I clipped them. The edge was what pealed off of my nails first when I didn't apply them right. These nails are suppose to last 2 weeks, my goal was to see how true that was. 

3.) Before .....

 ......And AFTER(2 weeks later)

I never realized how hard it was being a hand model until I saw the dry cracked skin all over my nail beds *sheesh. Thankfully photoshop smoothed some things out for me haha.

4.) Would I use these again?

So on the 2nd photo you can see that my nails had grown out at the base after 2 weeks, and at the very top corners of my nails some of them (mainly my pointer fingers) started to peal just a little, but for the most part they stayed on great! I loved looking down at my cute nails and seeing a more intricate design than a salon would have been able to execute and putting them on was so fun. Im one of those people who cant sit still during a TV show, so these were perfect for keeping me busy. 

I also did put one of these wraps on each of my big toes and they stayed on for like 3 weeks! 

I would totally use these again, for $15 a set I think you get a good amount for your money. You can also make them last longer if you only use them for an accent nail here and there. I'd love to get some of these cute 4th of July nails. If you're interested in buying any i'll include a link below to my friend, Maddie's page, who is a consultant.
