Anyone use Jamberry nails?

Venus Envy — Sat, 27 Sep 2014 13:35:43 GMT

I was invited to a party and couldn't go. The woman who hosted swears by them now. I have never tried them and some of them look cute. I was just curious if anyone else has used them. They seem to be cheaper than manicures in the long run. (Regular)

Yes! I love Jamberry wraps. So much actually that I became a consultant just so I could get the 30% discount! So many cute designs and they really do last a long time! I highly suggest getting the mini heater because it really makes application easy and makes a difference imo. No damage to your nails like gels. Oh and they work great for pedicures as well.

Thanks, I may order two sets online. I was going to try a hair dryer for the heat part. I will try them. I'm putting a set in my daughter's stocking. Thanks!

Are they hard to apply correctly? I can just see me getting them crooked. Also, do you use them on all of your fingernails or just a couple?? Some of them are really cute.

this is funny, my co-worker has been going on and on about them. She brought it in and they just look like nail stickers. Do these really hold up because there are days I beat the heck out of my nails. How do you remove these?

Are they similar to the ones Avon sells?

I have been using the Incoco nail appliques for years and love them. Easy to apply and remove with nail polish remover, just like regular nail polish.

Their french manicure kits are the best, last for weeks.

No damage to my natural nails. I can no wear gel manicures, too damaging to my nails.

So the Incoco product has been my savior.

I really love them, but I have smaller, curved nail beds and it is harder for me to apply than most people. They really are great and last forever.

I had never heard of these until I was invited to an ""on-line"" party. The woman hosting has only had her's on for a week but they look great.

I tried them for the first time yesterday. I had also been invited to a few online parties...

Candidly, they are better than I thought. I am not a fan of a full hand of the designs (it seems overwhelming to me) but I did my big toes and one finger. I thought that they may feel "claustrophobic" like if you had a bandaid on, and it does not feel like that at all. I did contrasting solid colors on the rest of my nails.

They went on pretty easily. I am very hard on my nails and will be interested to see how they last on a longer term basis. I used a hair dryer as the heat source.

I think the goal is to get the sizing right before you apply the heat. Then, you don't have to fight to reposition too much. It may have been easier because I was able to use my dominant hand and did not do both hands. It may have a bit of a learning curve.

I think that they are cute. However, I have tried them several times and they wear off my fingers on the edges within a week each time. I have checked with my consultant and she recommended applying with the warm rice bag method. I made a rice bag, looked at many videos on YouTube and followed directions closely. Still don't last on my fingers. I do a lot of cleaning, dishes, etc. and I wash my hands a lot. They last a long time on my toes, so I just use them that way now. It's too bad because I have spent a lot of $$ on these....

I'm not a fan of nail art at all so I'm not sure this would be for me.

I also have very small nails. When I get my nails done, they often comment about my tiny nails and how I have the hands of a child. I think this might take too much trying to get these sized for my nails.

I'm pretty happy going to the salon and having them do my nails. LOL

They have cute designs. But having to soak in acetone for removal, and all the problems with lifting, wrinkles and bubbles, I don't like them. The edges got caught in my hair when I shampoo and trying to seal them with top coat didn't work. All of this plus the company trying to hide the complaints of the fungus and peeling nails does not sit well with me. The new ones may be better but I'm not paying that much money to find out.

The ones by Sally Hansen I love those and have been using them for years with no problems. It would be great if they'd get new designers!
