This February Wife.Mother.Teacher is bringing you a review & giveaway of Jamberry

Nails, provided by Julia at Jamberry Nails. Julia is an independent consultant & got ahold of us last

month to see if we could partner on an upcoming giveaway and we were thrilled to say

yes. 

 I know that Jamberry is the rage in so many circles they had just not gotten to me yet, and this was a good chance to try them out and see if they would be all that I expected.  Having had my nails done many times, I knew that if I spent the money on a manicure it would be worth it to try these out and see what I thought.

I had heard of Jamberry Nails prior to her message but had never tried them personally. Julia sent me

the Love Spell design (pictured below) just in time for Valentine’s Day. (Psst… if you’re dying to

try these out right away, you can click over to Julia’s site to see Love

Spell plus hundreds of other great designs.)

Aren’t they adorable?! I fell in love as soon as I saw the design and knew these were the ones

for me. 🙂

 

To get started, lets answer a few basic questions you might have about Jamberry, starting

with… 

 

What Are Jamberry Nail Wraps? 

 

Jamberry nail wraps are the latest way to

accessorize your fingers and toes. Say goodbye to polish mess and dry times with this new nail

treatment that can be applied at home in about fifteen minutes.

I’m A Little Picky About My

Nail Designs, Will There Be Something To Fit Me? 

 

Jamberry has over 300 designs from French

Tips to Sparkles, Collegiate to Sorority, even Solid Colors to Animal Instinct. Trust me –

there will be a design for you!

How Long Do They

Last?

 

Jamberry says their wraps will last up to

two weeks on fingers & a month on toes.

 

But Aren’t They Super

Expensive?

Actually, no. For those of you that get

professional manicures or fake nails applied, you’re probably spending more than Jamberry nails would

cost you to do yourself. Plus they are Buy 3, Get 1 FREE, so that makes it super affordable!

How Will I Know That I’ll Like

Them?

 

You’re in luck – unlike so many other beauty companies, Julia

offers a FREE sample of

their product so that you can give it a try before investing in a full set. 🙂

Review

 

What can I say y’all, I’m thrilled with my Jamberry

Nails! In my pre-Total Money Makeover days I enjoyed pampering myself

regularly – which included getting my nails done – but in recent years that has been an expense I gave up

as we work on getting out of debt. So here’s my great news… even someone in the midst of paying off

debt could afford to splurge on Jamberry Nails every so often – they’re only $15 dollars and that will get

you 2 manicures, 2 pedicures plus a few extra to have as accent nails. Worst

case scenario, that’s a maximum of $3.25 for a full manicure or pedicure that

would cost you closer to $40 at the salon when you get the B3G1 offer. 🙂 

 

Aside from cost, I’m totally pleased with the product

itself. My nail wraps came packaged in a little envelope for easy storage between manicures and

included very clear (and short – thank you!) directions. Julia knew I was a Jamberry virgin so she also

directed me to a wonderful video tutorial that I found very helpful. (The video has GREAT ideas,

that the directions on the nail wraps didn’t include – if you’re a Jamberry Virgin too, I would totally check

it out.) 

 

In total, it took me 1 hour and 7 minutes from start to

finish. I know what you’re thinking, “But Tiffany, I don’t have that much time to do my nails, are you

crazy?!” Well here’s the deal, the first 20 minutes was spent just filing my nails, buffing, taking off old

nail polish, etc. (Meanwhile I kept playing that tutorial video on repeat, so I’m pretty sure my distraction

with the video slowed me down a bit, LOL.) I knew that I was applying these as a part of a review. It’s

really important to me that I give my full honest opinion on a product so I knew that I needed to give my

all to this application and that takes time. And lastly, I was a Jamberry virgin – I didn’t know what I was

doing and ended up being super meticulous because of it. Now that I’ve put on Jamberry nails

once, I’m certain I would apply them much faster and honestly when you consider drying time

of normal nail polish its really not that much different.

 

My nail wraps have been on for 5 days and they still look

fantastic. I did notice that 2 or 3 had a little bit of lifting at the tips, but I think that’s because this

was my first application and I struggled a bit with my right hand. I just used the nail file to smooth them

out and it hasn’t been a problem. At the rate they’re going I expect them to last at least 10 days.

If I was wearing nail polish it would totally be chipped by now so this is a win in my

book!

What do you think? I *LOVE* them! That being said

there were a few issues I ran into that I will try to avoid in round two… 

 

1) Use a heater instead of a blow dryer if at all

possible. 

Jamberry sells a cute little heater, but you could use just about any heater you

already own. The blow dryer was a pain because it took both hands and even on low the nail wrap

would get blown around and get stuck to my tweezers. Super annoying. Next time I’ll be using a heater

instead. 🙂

 

2) Cut apart your Jamberry Nail Sheet ahead of

time.

This will help you pick the right size for each of your finger nails

a little easier – I didn’t do this and as you can see from this totally blurry picture (sorry!) on a few nails I

picked the wrong size nail wrap and ended up with a tiny gap at the very edge of my nail. (Honestly my

husband couldn’t even see them until I pointed them out so you’d be fine without being super picky

about it, but I wanted to make sure I gave full disclosure on this review. Keep in mind that I’m pulling

down my skin with my thumb in this picture.)

3) Before applying my second set of Jamberry nails for

Valentine’s I’ll be investing in a cheap pair of manicure scissors. 

I used kitchen scissors & nail clippers and it was a bit of a

nightmare trying to do my right hand since you can’t actually use right handed scissors very well with

your left hand. (Jamberry includes them in their

optional application kit, FYI, but you don’t need an application kit to apply the nails. That

being said, the winner of this giveaway will not only get the nail wrap of their choice, but an application

kit as well!)

 

Overall, I give Jamberry Nail Wraps an A. They are fun,

beautiful, easy to apply, long lasting & budget friendly – not to mention that Julia from Jamberry

Nails is an absolute peach!

    I really like all the various colors and designs, but right now my favorite is called Winter’s Edge. It is a lovely color of blue with beautiful white snowflakes.
