Product Review: Jamberry

 

How I Heard:
A friend of mine recently started selling Jamberry. If you are unfamiliar with Jamberry, it's an adhesive wrap for your fingernails that is non-toxic and supposed to maintain its integrity regardless of how rough you are on your nails. I chatted a bit with this friend several weeks ago and the product sounded interesting, but when my sister-in-law started selling it, I thought it was time to try it out.

What I Ordered:
I ordered the following designs:

And when you order 3, you get a 4th sheet free, so I went out on a limb and selected this one:

Not really me, but I liked it. I thought maybe I could use this as an accent nail and polish the others. I don't know...I just really liked it! I ordered online and received it about a week later.

They come in sheets like this:

This is enough for two manicures and two pedicures. The manicures are supposed to last two weeks and the pedicures are supposed to last four.

Application:
 I selected the black chevron and headed to my sister-in-law's house so she could help me apply. I didn't take pictures of it, but the application process is really very simple: you clean your nails, push back your cuticles, cut the sticker down the middle, heat the back side (they have special heaters you can buy or you can use a hair dryer), and apply it right on to your nails. It was really a very simple process.

Results:
Here's the finished product:

And here it is again after almost two weeks:

 My Take:
I really, really like this product. And I think it's important to note: I am NOT a girly girl. Clothes, make-up, shoes, shopping - those are just things that take up my time. I have found I am a little more excited about them now that I've gone from a size 14 to a size 8 , but these sorts of things are a waste in my mind. So for me to say that I really like this product is pretty high praise!

We have family pictures this weekend, so I decided to trade the rest of my black chevron pack with a friend who ordered the French tip set. Here's what my second "jamicure" looks like:
