I Can See Clearly Now

I am not really a fan of floral prints, but I decided to try Azure Rose because I liked the colors (and because I always tell my boys, "How do you know you don't like it until you try it?", so I figured I should set a good example :) ).  I paired it with Bubble Gum, which is a retired wrap, and I added White Chevron over it.  I really love the contrast of this combination and now love Azure Rose!   

 

 

I also love the idea of layering wraps.  Jamberry offers wraps that are clear and can be put over other wraps, nail lacquers, or just worn by themselves.  Since I used White Chevron, I wanted to show you some other combinations worn by others using White Chevron.

Adam's Favorite

 

Isn't it great how versatile one wrap can be?  It really changes the looks of the original wraps.  There have even been wraps I really didn't like, but after seeing a photo of someone layering a clear wrap over them, I loved them! 

 

Here are a few of the other clear wraps.

 

 

You don't have to give up your favorite nail polishes if you use Jamberry.  Try using a clear wrap over them!  If you'd like a few samples of some of the clear wraps, I'd be happy to send you some.  I would love to see your photos of the combinations you come up with!

By the way, Azure Rose will be retired after 2/28/15, so if you love it from the first photo, order it now!  And yes, I will be trying more floral prints from now on!

And The Winner Is...

I wrote down all of the names of my new subscribers on pieces of paper and put them in a bowl.  My 10 year old son happily drew one paper and the winner of the Feb. Stylebox Exclusive wrap is Jessica Renshaw :)

Congratulations Jessica!  I will be sending you an email to get your address.  

I will be doing more giveaways so be on the lookout!  

Giveaway Monday!

Have you heard of Jamberry Stylebox?  It is a monthly subscription where you get $30 worth of product for $25 plus free shipping!  Also included is a nail stick and a nail file.  Each month there is 1 exclusive wrap and 1 wrap that complements it from the current catalog.  Some months they have added additional goodies, like last month they included a pretty pink lipstick!

You don't get a sneak peak, but if you get the Stylebox one month and find you aren't in love with the wraps, there are always people who will trade you because they aren't able to purchase the exclusive wraps and either they didn't subscribe to the Stylebox or if they did, they may LOVE the wrap and want more sheets!  When you start your subscription you have to prepay for 3 months but after that you can cancel or pay month to month.  If you want a subscription period longer than 3 months, they offer discounts for going 6 months or 12 months.

As a giveaway starting today, if you subscribe to my blog, I will enter you into a drawing to win 1 of the wraps from February's Stylebox. 

This is the exclusive wrap that a Jamberry consultant designed.

The wrap that complements it is Teal Mini Polka.  On the top right of my page, you can input your email address to subscribe.  Be sure to click on the email confirmation you receive so that you are fully signed up.  After you have subscribed to my blog, please post a comment so I can enter you in the drawing.  I will randomly pick a subscriber on 2/23/15 to win this exclusive wrap!

Jamberry tips and GGG

Jamberry recently released the Going, Going, Gone wrap list with wraps that are going to be discontinued after 2/28/15.  To my dismay, some of the pretty orchid wraps are on the list.  I decided to pick these wraps for my manicure this week to remind me how pretty they are.  I also decided to try white tips for the first time.  I only had White and Pink Tint Tips in Medium and Long.  The difference between White Tips and White & Pink Tint Tips is the clear part on the White Tips are truly clear, but on the other, there is a pink tint to them.

White Tips

White and Pink Tint Tips

I chose Orchid Polka, Orchid, and Orchid Glimmer.  I have fallen in love with the glimmers, so this is one of my favorites.  I used the mid tips over the Orchid Glimmer wraps.  After I was done, I realized that the medium tips show too much white on my nails.  

Today I redid those nails and used long tips over the Orchid Glimmer.  These look much better.  You can see that my pointer finger nail isn't quite as long as my others, so the tip looks shorter, but it still looks better than the mid tips.

There is a little graphic in the Jamberry catalog showing you the difference in tip lengths, but I like this graphic that another consultant made.

My suggestion for anyone with short nails is to choose short or mid tips, but not long.  If you do happen to get long tips, the nice thing is you can trim down the bottom of the wrap to make the tips shorter.

Jamberry has a large variety of solid tips as well as tips with designs.  You can wear them by themselves or layer them over other wraps or polish for a different look.  Try a set to see how you like them!
