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! 

Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Orange Impulse

Afternoon!

Today’s mani I just wanted to try doing whatever I could think of with just a couple colors. So I chose orange, grey, and white. I was quite pleased with the outcome, but there were definitely things I’d do differently.

I used Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dry Orange Impulse, Pure Ice’s Kiss Me Here, and Pure Ice’s Superstar. And then for the thumb(which is down low), I used matching colors of acrylic paint. I’m really digging the acrylics right now. XD For the middle finger, I used the white base and then stamped twice with RA plate 119 in both the grey and the orange and that was one of my favs of this mani. 

I really enjoyed doing this and I’m going to be doing it again. Perhaps in the next post.  :)  Have a great day!

In Christ,

Demo hands!

Hola! I have a feeling that I’m very quickly becoming addicted to blogging. ^^ But that’s ok. It’ll give me some good practice with my writing skills.

So, in the past three days, I have obtained nine polishes. Er….Six polishes and three strippers(strip-ers). Augh! I feel so dyslexic right now! I can't tell if i'm writing the right word!  *^^*  Strip as in a straight line. :P

 Both of these are L.A. Color-Color Craze and the first one, the glittery one, is NP447 Jewel Tone and the beige is NO403 Mega Watt. Jewel Tone is a clear coat with glitter, great for playing up a plain color and the beige is quite shear so you’d need at least three coats to have a good color. I also bought a white, gold and silver strip-ers.

 When I normally do my nails, I do what I call “demo nails” which is a different design on each nail and that’s what I did last night! I used just about all my new colors and I used a lot of ideas from other people. So here’s my disclaimer: None of the following designs are mine unless I actually say they are mine. If I don’t know who did that certain design and you(reader) do, please message me so that I can give credit where it belongs. :) I will try to write where I got each idea however. Most of these today I have found on Project:Nails. Link below…

On to my nails!

Since there are so many, I’m not going to describe them all. If there’s a particular one you’d like to know how I did, then message me. The middle finger is the only one that I can actually fine who did it and I copy that one from “LOVE4NAILS” on YouTube. Here’s the link.

I happen to be very proud of the fact that there’s not a stamp on any of them. Aka, all free-handed. :D I have to say that the ring fingernail on this hand could have done without the inside diamond. :P It looked fine with just the first two.

Anyways, that’s all I have for today!

In Christ,
