This is my review of Jamberry nail wraps: When they were on the next day I really enjoyed looking at my fingernails and felt very spring time-ish since I picked a pretty pastel pink with polka dots. I figured that they would match the nude colored polish I wear most often. I definitely couldn’t have pulled anything off like this with the polish I have at home!
The reason I say that I liked them the next day is because when I first put them on, I probably needed to file the edges down a bit more and little wear and tear between days helped finish the edges off better. This is the first time I had ever used these nail wraps. I will see if the Jamberrys make it to their expected two weeks worth of wear. Even if they make it to one week, I will be impressed. (I will post an update later.)
Now the drawbacks to the nail wraps. They took me a long time to put on–more than an hour. In fairness, I have never done this before so I don’t know if this is normal or not. If the wraps really last more than a week, then the extra time put in at the beginning will be worth the wait. The other problems I had with these is they didn’t fit perfectly in width to my ring finger. From the side you can really tell. I was surprised about this because I have generally small hands.
Overall, If I want to feel festive, the wraps are definitely a way to dress my nails up. Just look at the possibilities. I wouldn’t be able to accomplish any of these looks without Jamberry. Oh, and FREE SAMPLES PEOPLE…whoever wants a free sample just go here.
With practice, applying the Jamberrys gets easier! I like that I can actually stop in the middle of applying them to do something else – like answer the phone or tend to my kids!
That’s good to know! I am liking them the more I have them on. I would use them again!
