Jamberry Nails

 

 

This week I decided to try out a product called Jamberry Nails. Jamberry Nails are stick on nails with different designs that are supposed to last up to weeks. I tried them couple of weeks ago and they didn’t work at all, but I was determined to have a stylish manicure so I tried once more. Each set comes with enough stickers to do two manicures and two pedicures. The pattern that I tried this time was Emerald Palm which is a pattern with an ombre backdrop of white, light green and dark green and palm trees.

 Before you start you have to remove any nail polish you have on and clean them off with rubbing alcohol which I didn’t do the first time around. Then you pick the sticker that best fits your finger  and the thing I didn’t like was that some of them didn’t always fit your finger perfectly not that I expected it to, and they were hard to cut to better fit your fingers, because they were stickers and they stuck to the scissors. After that you had to blow-dry the nail to make it soft and easier to apply. Applying them was the hardest part of the process last time because when you did apply them they would sometimes have wrinkles or air bubbles and once you put them on they were stuck so you couldn’t fix them. This time it was different I kind of knew what to expect and if they had an air bubble I would carefully take it off and place it again and it still stuck to my nail when I pulled it off many times to fix it. Once I had them applied I had to blow dry them again and apply pressure to make sure they stuck which was in the directions, but I clearly didn’t pay attention last time. Then I had to trim them up to meet the length of my original nail. You first have to cut it which can be difficult because the scissors don’t always cut it. Then, once you have it cut you have to file it down to your nail to smooth it out. Maybe I’m doing this step wrong I don’t know, but I always have trouble with this step with any stick on nails I’ve tried before. They don’t always file down right and leave the ends bumpy and rough.

Overall compared to other stick on nails these probably work the best and I like the designs a lot and there’s many to choose from compared to ones I’ve tried before. If they don’t work for you the first time don’t get discouraged just try again, because I believe that you need many trials and errors to execute them perfect and make sure you’re not like me and actually read the instructions, because they would have made the process a lot easier the first time around.
