Jamberry Nails - Review and Giveaway

I like fun and funky art designs on nails, but I will not go to a manicurist and pay to get it done.  For one, I don't have the extra money.  For two, I used to do it and my real nails always suffered.  The glue would inevitably ruin them. 

Jamberry Nails, a direct selling party company, allows me to express moods and fun colors on my nails without damaging them.  Their nail shields give you a high-end salon look in the convenience of your home. 

I received a set of Green and Purple Whimsical Swirl Jamberry Nails for review.  The set of 18 nail shields and instructions arrived on a flat card.  The instructions are easy to understand and there are eight steps to applying the nail shields.  It's important that your nails are free from dirt or nail polish before applying the Jamberry Nails.  Once you have matched your finger or toenail to the shield that fits it best, the nail shield needs to be warmed with a blow dryer for 10-15 seconds until warm and flexible.  I actually only had to warm my nail shields for about 6-7 seconds each.  After that's done, the shields get pressed onto the nails and firm pressure is applied around the edges to adhere the shield to the nail.  A rubber cuticle pusher helps seal the shield around the cuticle.  Excess material can be trimmed with scissors and nail files.  Once the shields are on the nails, heat and pressure are to be applied again until it is sealed to the nail.   

When I first used the Jamberry Nails, I wasted three of them because I did not follow instructions like I should have.  I did not have a cuticle pusher or nail file around the house and thought I could do without.  I found out that those two tools are important to have on hand to help trim off excess and to apply pressure.  I purchased those two tools and applied the nail shield like I should've done the first time. 

After correctly applying Jamberry Nails, I was very pleased with the outcome.  It looks like my nails have been professionally and artistically painted.  Each sheet of nail shields will do 2-3 sets of fingers or toes.  The nail shields last longer than regular nail polish.  I've done my fingernails twice now and each time the nail shields have stayed on for a little over a week. They can be completely removed by breaking the seal underneath the edges of your fingernails and peeling them off.  No residue or stickiness has been left behind on my nails after taking the nail shields off.  Sure beats going to a manicurist!

Jamberry Nails can be ordered online or through a Jamberry Consultant.  You can also host a party to receive hostess rewards towards Jamberry Nails products.
