Jamberry Nails Tips and Tricks!

Applying your nails is so incredibly easy!! Below are some tips and tricks that I have gathered along the way. I plan to add to this while I am on my Jamberry journey so that everyone is able to get the full use out of their Jamberry Nail set :)

One tip I was told was to put a base coat on your nail before applying the wraps, I have heard so many amazing reviews on our Jamberry Strengthening Base Coat, and i have actually started using it as well, i can tell a huge difference in my nails strength since using this product; it can be found here: http://www.jamberrynails.net/product/jamberry-strengthening-base-coat#.VNw4SiyRHkc

Not only does it reinforce your nails whether they are weak and brittle from having acrylics/gels on that usually take one or more layers off of your nail in the removal process. This base coat will ensure the length of your wraps along with strengthening your nails under your wraps at the same time!! We also have a product called Jamberry Smoothing Base Coat, this is also helpful with applying lacquer as well as the wraps. Specially formulated to fill ridges, allowing for a smooth application: http://jamberrynails.net/product/jamberry-smoothing-base-coat

One of the best ways to get that PERFECT manicure is to use the tape method.Visit this video to watch a tutorial of this method:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu_-5sn3JnM&feature=youtu.be

Another tip is called the “baggie method”  The following video is short and sweet and gives you exactly what you need in order to ensure a proper application: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgJf8mRSCu8

 You can also use this method again after you have filed down your wraps so ensure they are sealed, a little extra heat never hurt!!

Are you catching bubbles underneath your wrap that you just can’t push out? This is called the tweezer method, however you can also use anything metal, for example your cuticle scissors in your kit. Using a flat iron is the fastest but you are also able to heat up the metal object with your mini Jamberry heater or any other heat source. 

Another interesting tip I have seen is using a flat iron to ensure those tips are sealed, I know this sounds odd, but this is a big thing, without making sure the tips of your nails are sealed they are more likely to snag or lift!

Black Tea Removal Method

My husband likes to call me a hippie, i would have to agree with him. So naturally when i heard there was a better way to removing my Jamberry nails then with fingernail polish remover i was all over it! While at the salon removing acrylics is painful and soaking my hands in nail polish remover for the gel nails is not my favorite. My sponser told me about the black tea method and i was dying to try. Here is a step by step guide to how i removed my Jamberry nails.

1. Boil water in a hot pot or on the stove

2. Steep 1-2 teabags for a few minutes

3. Let cool until it is cool enough to submerge your nails/finger tips (notes: get the water as hot as you can stand it)

4. Put a little coconut oil in with your tea mixture and mix together

5. submerge your nails/fingertips into this mixture and continue for 15-20 seconds 

6. Remove fingers and with your thumb nail lift nail at the base of your cuticle (it should slip right off, if not soak your fingers a little longer)

7. Remove excess glue and tea with a paper towel, and you are left with beautiful nails completely unaltered from the wraps.
