Jamberry Nail Wraps

I love them - worth a little practice to get them right.

I have terrible nails. Brittle and ridgey - they peel, they crack. Nail polish lasts maybe a day on them - even with a base coat and top coat. And I find getting a manicure to be a high form of torture. I got acrylics for my wedding 25+ years ago, which left my nails paper thin afterward. And I'd generally resigned myself to never having grown-up looking fingernails Jamberry nails changed all that. Yes, they take a little practice to get on. So, yes, they take some time - but so does a good manicure. There are a ton of videos online showing a lot of different tips, tricks and techniques - pick the one that works for you. Bottom line, the fingernails last a solid 2 weeks - and I use my hands a lot, playing guitar, gardening and painting. And the toenails last even longer - around 4 weeks average for me. Yes, they take a little time. But at $15 for a set that makes 2 manis, 2 pedis and a few accent nails, it costs way less than a professional manicure.
