Jamberry Nail Wrap Review!!

So for anyone who doesn’t know about them, Jamberry nails are HOT!

You’re probably familiar with the idea of them but these are so much better than any other stick on nail decals. These stickers have way less chemicals, they’re cost effective, fast and they last!  Check out this pic!

So they’re less harmful to nails by a lot. Now for the costs. It's about $15 per sheet but there's a deal where you can get 4 sheets for the price of 3! Now check out how many mani's you can get out of them and for how much!

Now for me, I normally do my own nails but these are really great for a day or for a week that you know you’re going to be super busy and won’t have time to actually paint your nails. It takes about 15 minutes to apply everything with Jamberries. It takes 15 minutes to do the first couple coats of base and color with polish.

That’s a lot of time saved PLUS, you don’t have to worry about knicking or dinging a nail and have to either deal with the defective nail or re-do it. Which takes even more time.

So the amazing lady that has given me samples to try and show you all, is Meg and she is one of the most adorable people I have ever encountered. She’s sweet, loves coffee(like mwaa..), super friendly and just cute! She’s a great consultant for the Jamberries and so easy to work with. So here is her link, please let her know that you found her through me! Meg'sLink

For this mani, I used China Glaze’s “For Audrey”, Sally Hansen’s “250 Lightening” and Orly’s “Dazzle”. As well as a plain black acrylic paint. Pretty much took this opportunity to just do whatever to my nails and I liked most of them except my pinky. 

Jamberry wrap on pointer finger is called Teal Mini Polka!

So look at how well the Jams stayed on verses nail polish. SUPER WELL!! I don’t pick at my nails at all so this just just chipping from every day activities such as showering, washing dishes, cleaning building and whatever else you do in a day.  And yes, there is some wear on the Jam nail but it's so minimal verse all the other nails. 

They’re very worth it and there are soooo many cute designs! So check ‘em out and lemme know how you like them! 

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Rags To Rich!

A while back, I found out how amazing CVS is. They have the best polish selection *ever*! I had gone in there expecting to see the same selection of SH and Essie at Wal-Mart and Wal-Greens, but oh, no! That’s not what I saw! I saw Orly, Sally Hansen, Confetti, Revlon, Rimmel, Spoiled, Loreal, Wet n’ Wild, and Seche! It was like Christmas for me again! :D I guess you could say that I was just a little excited. :)

So anyways, I’d been looking for a nice deep green and while in CVS, I spotted their Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Nail Polish Rags To Rich! It’s a shimmery forest-y green and I was really stoked! That was also close to my birthday when I got a SH No Chip Acrylic Top Coat. So around the time of my birthday, I used the Rimmel polish and the top coat together and it was terrible! The polish wrinkled when I touched it and then after it actually dryed, it started cracking!! CRACKING!  Then, I tried it again with my regular top coat, Orly’s Polishield Three-In-One Top Coat, and it worked just fine. No wrinkles, so cracking, no nothing. So…I have decided to only use that Sally Hansen top coat for my toes. :) And that’s my rant for the day. Heehee!

 

 

 

Anyhooo….I did this mani with the Rags To Rich  and Red Angel’s 109 stamping plate with a white polish. I really liked that one. The stamping is really easy once you get used to it and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to do their own nail without having to go to a salon and pay twenty buck on a mani.  It’s really fun too. :)

 

Have you ever done any stamping? How do you like it?

St. Patty's Day Is Comin' Up!

Is everybody ready for St. Patrick’s Day?! I know I am! The corned beef and cabbage is already calling my name…And with any leftovers(ha!), we’ll make Reuben’s for my birthday diner. ^^ Yumminess in my tummy!

 On to the mani’s!

So last night I did my nails with China Glaze base of “Tree Hugger” and I used three other colors of stipper brushes, white, light green and dark green. Oh, and I always use a base coat to protect my nails. Sally Hansen Green Tree and Bamboo Strengthener.  And I use Orly’s Polishield 3-in-1 Top Coat. I have noticed that it gets bubbles in the actual coat and I don’t really like that. Any suggestions?

And today, I used base coat, China Glaze base color of “For Audrey”, the rainbow is of several acrylic colors that my mom had from couple years ago and they are still good! Then for the other toes, I just used the acrylics that 

 correlated with the rainbow, plus two.

For the “gold”, I layered three things. Sally Hansen Insta-Dry “Lightening” first, then Sinful Colors “Let’s Meet“ for some extra sparkle and then last but not least, Art-Deco Stipper Pen Gold.

I really liked using the acrylics and I will definitely be working with them again. :D I also was using some thin paint brushes that I had bought from Micheal's, Simply Simmons, and they are really good.

So there’s my St. Patty’s Day stuff!  If there’s anything y’all want to see, tell me and I’ll see what I can do!

In Christ,

Alli
