jamberry nails review and giveaway

I've always loved decorating my nails.  Even if I was having a bad hair day or wearing my "fat" jeans I could feel good about the state of my fingernails.  Well, usually for the first day.  Then the chipping began... and the peeling.  Soooo, I decided to just skip the process and only focus on special occasions.  Yes, my nails felt a bit unloved and unappreciated. Sob.

A friend of mine hosted a Jamberry nail wrap party last month and I learned they are non-toxic, last 2 weeks on fingers (6 weeks on toes), require NO dry time (apply and go), have NO chips and are simply DIY.

FYI: The last time I had a salon manicure the technician nicked my finger and I ended up passed out on the floor.  It wasn't pretty.  Needless to say, I now like to do my nails myself. 

This all sounded quite impressive.  When asked if I'd like to review Jamberry nails I decided to tell my story.  My girls got in on the action, too.  They were immediately in love with them!

As you can see, the Jamberry nail looks amazing after 1 week and the nail polish has given up.  (It's been about 3 weeks now and the Jamberry nail still looks this good.)

This is how my nails looked after a week.  Jamberry is lovely and the OPI polish is just plain sad.

I'll admit that I was a bit intimidated about the application process.  After all, everyone has different sized nails, right?  Well, it turned out to be quite simple.  You trim to fit, heat for 3 seconds with a hair dryer and apply.  Simple.  Just the way I like it. 

It's so easy that my 11 year old applied these Jamberry wraps all by herself.  

This is what the little girls sheet looks like.

And this is what the adult size sheet looks like.  Each strip will do a couple of nails- not just one.  Take a peek below...

Way less expensive than a salon manicure.  And safer.  Non-toxic and no risk of passing out!

Take a peek at some of the gorgeous Jamberry designs!  I adore the chevron pattern.

The quatrefoil is stunning and the blue/white lines are fabulously classic.

A gorgeous splash of color for your basic ensemble!

A lovely evening out all the way to your toes...

I have the biggest crush on turquoise!  The little lemons are darling and don't get me started on the polka dots...

I am a huge fan of Jamberry nails after reviewing them!  They are easy to apply, have gorgeous choices and really last as long as they say they do!

Interested in getting your nails ready for summer?  You can't hide them in your boots anymore, ladies.  Flip flops will be calling your name any day now so...
