Jamberry nail shields are a vinyl wrap for your nails that won't chip or flake off. They are supposed to last for up to 4 weeks on the hands and 6 weeks on the toes. They come in about 300 different designs and cost $15 a sheet. You can get several manicures from one sheet depending on how long your nails are. You apply them using heat and I know that can be a little scary for some. It was for me and I like to think I'm no novice!
That is about all I can say about them for now. I hope to answer the obvious questions:
1. Are they worth the cost?
2 How hard are they to use?
3. Do they really last?
4. How hard are they to remove?
I will let you know as I learn the answers myself! Grace Brown (http://gracefulnails.jamberrynails.net/) has sent me a sample to do the 7 day challenge against regular polish and she is also sending me a half a sheet to do a full review and to compare them to other types of manicures. I guess this will be sort of a multi-item review to see which is the best for your buck! Since I've been asked if there is any difference between high end and dollar polishes I will include a small review of their difference to each other as well.
This is a picture of my Day 1 of the 7 day challenge! The Jamberry is on the ring finger. It wasn't too hard to apply after reading directions a few times. The idea of the heating to apply is a little intimidating but once I got started it was fast and easy. I think it was a lot easier to apply the second nail on my other hand and a full application would have been easy once I got the hang of it.
The polish is OPI in Green Grape. I have a 2 yr old and right after applying these nails I had to change a diaper and the Jamberry was all done and the polish had to be redone because it wasn't dry yet!
I will keep you updated on this challenge to see how these hold up in the next few days and keep an eye out for my full review!
Love,
Mom
