Trendy Tuesday {Jamberry Review}

Good morning, ladies. How are y'all today? I hope everyone is doing well and finally recovered from the weekend. I was able to get to bed early last night, so I'm feeling a lot better than Monday. #sleepfixesall.

I'm so excited to be sharing an amazing review with y'all today. Jamberry has been something I've been looking into recently so I was ecstatic when Amanda contacted me about doing a review. Jamberry is an affordable and fabulous line of nail wraps that are vegan-friendly, non toxic and American made [winning]. The wraps can last up to two weeks [fingers] or four weeks [toes] and come in great, fun styles that are easy to apply which is another win win in my book.

Jamberry was created by three sisters in 2010 because they were tired of spending tons of money on manicures, only to have them chip a day or two into their existence.  Having pretty nails makes me feel polished and put together, but the work that goes into a home manicure doesn't seem worth the effort after a chipped nail one day in, am I right?

When my Jamberry package arrived I couldn't wait to open it and get started with my new wrap. It took me a while to figure out what kind of wrap to use, I really I loved the sports and holiday themed wraps [can see myself using holiday themes in the future for sure].  After some hemming and hawing,  I settled on this fun wrap called  'Out of Focus'. #totallyapinkylookright

Below is the contents of my package. It included all the necessities for a Jamberry nail party; a heater, buffer, alcohol wipes, cuticle stick, two orange sticks, a special nail file, nail scissors and clippers and of course my wrap.

Amanda also sent me this amazing application instruction sheet along with a fabulous video. I've only ever used the cheapie store bought stick on nails, so both of the instructions guides were extremely helpful. The directions are clear and concise and I found the process simple as stated.

After reading the instructions and watching the video I felt ready to attempt my first wrap experience. Can I just say how happy I am that my nails are actually long right now? They had been splitting recently and so I've had to keep them really, really short. I know they aren't long by most people's definition, but they are long enough for me. 

I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about getting the measurements correct and using the heater appropriately, but after one nail it felt like old hat. I will say that I'm not the most ambidextrous so doing my right had was a bit tricky. However I was able to figure it out pretty easy after the first nail.

Quicker than I anticipated all ten of my fingernails were covered and I think they turned out pretty well.

Since I have smaller nails I was able to keep enough for another round which I am stocked about. I love the way the wrap looks and it feels very secure on all of my nails. I have a few more kickball tournaments this month, along with some pool activities so I'm excited to test out the longevity of the wraps. Jamberry would be perfect for a special event or a long trip because of their durability.

Amanda was a gem to work with and I will definitely be ordering more wraps from her in the future. I suggest you do the same, Jamberry is a great company with a fantastic product and the fact it's American made is a huge plus in my book.

Have you tried Jamberry before? What is your favorite wrap?
