Jamberry Nail Shields in Decorative Black + Mauve Dot Review;

hey :) this post is a bit late ... but better late than never, right? a few weeks ago, Jackie kindly offered me to try Jamberry Nail Shields -- of course i couldnt resist all the cute designs! i got Decorative Black + Mauve Dot.



to my surprise, Jackie also sent me a few extra strips~

how adorable are those!? :)


here's the mani i came up with.

as i mentioned in my first Jamberry nail shields review, the shields are very easy to use. just a blow-dryer, nail clipper/scissor, and nail file and your mani will be done soon~ this second time around, application was much easier.

once again, thanks to Jackie of Jamberry Nail Shields for sending me the items for a review. be sure to check out the site :)

have a good one!,

Jamberry Nail Shields in Black Damask Review;

hi :) a few weeks ago, Andrea - an independent consultant of Jamberry Nails - kindly sent me a sample sheet of one of the many Jamberry Nail Shields to review. i chose Gold & Black Damask.



the red i used is two coats of OPI's Bullish on OPI. this mani lasted me 3 days -- considering one of the three days were spent at the beach and the other two days were spent working and playing volleyball, i think they lasted well.

so sorry, i dont have a picture of the nail shields in the package to share :( but, for $15, you get a sheet of 9 different size nail shields; for my mani, i had 6 of my nails covered and i only ended up using 3 of the nail shields. so you get a good amount for the price. because Jamberry Nails shields are good for both manicures and pedicures, the sizes of the nail shields are very varied.

the nail shields were easy to work with. you simply use your blow-dryer and apply~ the great thing about the Jamberry nail shields is that they're not too thin nor too thick; although they arent too stretchy, they are easy to work with. i noticed that when an edge of the nail shield on my nail started to lift, all i had to do was run my blow-dryer for a few seconds over the spot that is lifting ... press down on the spot for a few seconds, and then the the nail shield would be back down! a quick and easy fix~

again, a big thanks to Andrea of Jamberry Nails. be sure to check out the site :)

have a good one!,
