As teachers we work so hard! We can get frazzled, exhausted, stressed and sometimes not have any time for ourselves! Well, we deserve to still look good, right? I just recently learned about Jamberry Nails and I wish I had known about them way sooner! I am so happy with the nail wraps and lacquers and I think I should give all you other teachers a chance to learn about Jamberry too! And to try it! I am having a Jamberry Nails giveaway! Read on to find out how you can enter and/or how to get a free sample mailed right to you!
This is my first full Jamicure with Orchid Skinny and Orchid Polka nail wraps.
So if you are in the dark and don’t know what Jamberry Nail Wraps are, they are a vinyl nail wrap that are quick and easy to apply (and remove) and last about 2 weeks typically for a mani and up to 6 weeks for a pedi! NO JOKE! They are applied right over your natural nail or over acrylics. The watertight seal is heat and pressure activated and can stand up to lots of abuse (beyond just teaching which if you ask me is hell on my nails!) like swimming, working out, gardening and more. I even just saw someone post pics of their nails, then pictures of a crossfit workout they did which included moving tires around and then a pic of their nails after and they looked exactly the same. Hard core! The nail wraps are made in the USA, latex and gluten free and vegan (in case a child or animal swallows part of one) and have no toxins and are never animal tested.
Each set of wraps is ALWAYS Buy 3, Get 1 free and comes with enough wraps to do just about 2 manicures and 2 pedicures with each set. Each application costs just a couple bucks. I have been shelling out a lot of money for shellac manicures at the salon, and with a tip, those can be at least $25 – for just one application. Eek! We teachers need to watch the bottom line right?
So why am I so excited about Jamberry?
1. They are so easy to apply! It takes a couple minutes to prep with a cuticle pusher and an alcohol wipe and about 15 minutes to apply using heat (a rice bag or hair dryer works for me) and pressure. I sit and watch Sherlock, Arrested Development, The Walking Dead and the other shows I always want to catch up on and after only about 20 minutes my nails look fab!
2. They LAST so long! So far up to weeks with fingers and 6 weeks on toes I used to touch up my polish every single night as it chipped off . Not with Jamberry.
3. They have Jamberry Juniors, which are smaller sizes and different patterns so you can do Jamicures with your favorite little ones. Also there are Mommy and Me sets so you and your girl can match or complement each other! PLUS I can wear juniors because I have smallish fingernails and they are great on toenails.
4. They have 300+ colors, patterns and finishes, plus lacquer. The possibilities are endless. Shellac worked great but there are so many more options with the nail wraps and the cost per application is a fraction of the price!
5. I am not wasting time or money by using Jamberry! My nails do not take a lot of time to do now and they are so affordable. Plus my students love a lot of the patterns and strangers even notice and compliment them. I am so into them! I ca’t help but share my enthusiasm! I swear I want to throw out those 25-30 bottles of polish that are taking up space!
Here are a couple more pics of manicures I have done with nail wraps.
This one is called Vacay- if you look closely it has ice cream, starfish, tropical drinks and more on it. Adorable!
This was when I got my first sample – I put black polish from a fancy British brand on most nails and Jamberry as an accent on the pinky (that one is called Black and White Quad).
AND… this is just 4 days later, after just going to school for a couple days and not doing anything crazy – no swimming, no gardening, anything. The accent nail is still perfect and what a mess that fancy nail polish is! UGH. No time for that nonsense!!
If you’re intrigued and want to enter to win a free sheet of accent nails, read on and you can also see how to get a free sample (or for that click on the image of my Jamicure in the sidebar of my blog) !
Here are few more super fun Jamicures for inspiration!
If you don’t want to wait you can shop right from my personal Jamberry page on their site. The wraps usually arrive in 7-10 business days and come from Utah, so maybe even sooner if you are close by. You will end up wanting to do this Buy 3 Get 1 Free deal, believe me! I ordered only 1 set and after I got them I was thinking, “Nooooooo! Why didn’t I get more!” Check out more of my manicures and tons of other styles at my
Facebook page, Redhead Manicures.
If you adore Jamberry, or love having fun, you can host a Facebook party and earn some great hostess rewards such as free wraps and discounts! That is actually what I did right after I got my free sample- I arranged a party with Charity, my team leader. It was so much fun! And EASY! She set up the party, I invited my Facebook friends and shared the website and Charity ran everything while I had fun with my friends and earned some freebies. Now that I am a consultant I run parties myself for people and it is a blast. It is best if you have worn your jams around so people have seen them in person. We usually schedule parties 2+ weeks out so you have plenty of time to show off your Jamicures beforehand!
If you decide to book a party with me, I will send you a hostess kit that includes a catalog and samples you can give out too and on the Facebook event page I post prizes, games, tips and other fun stuff. It is a really easy way to get free wraps once you have tried them and decided they rock! Get more info here or comment below!
Here is the hostess kit I got when I was hosting my first party!
If you KNOW you love Jamberry and are as excited about it as I am (and more and more of my teacher friends) you can
join my team and be a consultant yourself! It is a great way to get some discounts on Jamberry and earn a few extra bucks. If you know you are going to wear the nail shields all the time you should sign up to consult because all your friends, family and coworkers are going to want them. I even had the barista at the Starbucks drive thru ask me how she could get the nail wraps I had on as I reached out to pay her!
If you join as a member of my team I will support you to the nth degree in your new venture and you will get tons of support and advice from everyone I know, too! We all help each other out, but really it is easy ! You can spend just 10 minutes a day on Jamberry consulting if you want or you can decide to spend the summer going all out and spend a few hours a day working on it! Believe me, there are some very busy ladies that consult (mothers of 4, working mothers, students who also work full time, single moms…) and it is a great option to spend just a little time and do something fun and earn a couple $ too.
Here is what my sponsor sent me when I joined her team. Sweet!
Why am I posting about Jamberry here? Well, as I said at the beginning, we are busy and stressed and have little time for ourselves but we teachers SHOULD get to look good and feel good about ourselves, darn it! I also know as a teacher how tight money can be and how a little extra could do a world of good , plus I know you don’t have much time to spare. I also know you will love the wraps even if you don’t want to have a party or consult!
Here is the consultant kit I got in the mail! It was an exciting day! Plus, look my dog’s tail made a cameo in the pic!! LOL.
BY the way, one last thing. I was SUPER JAZZED to hear Jamberry is now releasing a monthly Subscription box called StyleBox! Wahoo! I tried Birch Box, Conscious Box and Julep and ended up canceling all of them but this is perfect for me (I just signed up!) ! Starting July 1 you can order it. Basically you get $30 of Jamberry predicts, including an exclusive wrap ONLY for Stylebox subscribers. Even consultants can’t get it unless they sign up for it too! You can subscribe for 3, 6 or 12 months and the cancellation is easy too (but you won’t cancel anyway, LOL) . Here is a fun video that give you the basics. Starting on July 1 sign up here !
I have a few sneak peek pictures for you too!
