Okay, I must admit, I LOVE mani pedi days and I love going to the nail shop, I LOVE my shop. If you are local to OKC or Edmond, I must say you need to try US Nails! They are amazing and I have been going to Jimmy and Tiffany for years, but let me say, not having a job and it costing me $60ish to get mani, pedi and eyebrow wax isn’t really in my budget. So when I heard about these nail shields from Jamberry, I was excited. They say the sheets give you 2-3 manis worth and they are only $15, plus they run specials where you buy so many get one FREE! How great it that $5-8 for a mani done by you that wont chip, will last 2-3 weeks and comes in cute designs? Let me say, I was very curious about this after seeing it all over pinterest and facebook. So I set out to find a consultant, that is when I got Skyla, and AMAZING Jamberry consultant that has provided me with the sheets!
Now what is Jamberry and how do they work? Well, they're different than other products such as nail stickers or appliques because you need a blow-dryer to apply them, isn't that crazy!?!? When the glue on the back of these shields is heated up, it is activated and with firm pressure, it forms a strong bond with your nail. This allows the shields to last up to 2 weeks on tips and 6 weeks on toes! Let me just say these are the neatest thing I have every tried! I will say, I am glad that Skyla sent me a few extras to play with before my first real sheet came. They are like an art form and let me tell you, Skyla has all the tips and tricks on how to get these babies to work and look PERFECT!
The shields come in a ton of different designs and can be mixed and matched how ever you want, to create a custom look! I got the Turquoise dot for my review and I loved it. I will say, my fingernails must be odd sizes because I had to cut most of the shields to fit my nails correctly, which is fine, gave it a more finished look. I will say, there is a slight learning curve to the application process, but once I got it, it was pretty easy to do! I made a few mistakes in my first few tries, such as touching the glue to many times and not sealing the edges fully, but after some practice and tips I was able to get it down.
These shields are perfect for those of us who love the designs and look of them and just don’t have the time. They are also great for someone who constantly chips their polish and hates that. The shields take about the same amount of time to put on as painting your nails does, but the PLUS is no dry time! When they are on, you are done and ready to go and not worry about the chipping.
Room for improvement? I wish they either sold the tools to put them on, or that they came in the pack. I think it would be great since most ladies that go to the salon don’t have some of this stuff needed to apply these. I also think more solid colors would be awesome for the ladies that don’t want designs, or like the few solids they offer or want to do the whole solid then a pop of design on one nail.
Now do I have you excited to try them? Well good, because Skyla has sent me a sheet to send to one lucky reader!
It's the Multi-Color Chevron Shields!
Special thanks to Skyla, for offering this giveaway!
