Jamberry expanding to New Zealand and Australia!!

The announcement that Jamberry is expanding into New Zealand and Australia is huge!!  The opportunity for anyone joining as a consultant is great, but to be one of the first consultants can be life changing!  

If you live in New Zealand or Australia and are interested to know more about Jamberry nail wraps or want some samples, please find me on Facebook at Facebook.com/marlenelangglamjams or contact me through my blog.  I would love to tell you about all the new and exciting things happening with Jamberry (like the gel system that will be released in Sept!!) as well as answer any questions you may have :)

In With The New

The Spring/Summer catalog was released in March.  Although I was sad to see a few of my favorites retire (but I was sure to stock up) I have found so many new designs I am loving!!  Here are my most recent manicures with some of the new wraps.

Paint Party and Fountain of Youth

Butterfly Kisses and Carnival (my favorite so far!)

And from today, Sorbet with Blush Glimmer (retired)

I'm still trying to squeeze in manicures using retired wraps :)

Flutter By and Midnight Sky

Peek-A-Boo Bunny and July 14 HE

 I hope you are enjoying the new catalog as much as I am!  Remember that you can always split a sheet with a friend so that you can get more designs!

Too Good To Be True

I've been using Nature's Bouty vitamins with Biotin for the last month and a half and really think they have helped my nails become stronger.  I was hoping they would help my hair but this wasn't a good time to compare because of my post pregnancy shedding that is happening right now.  But my nails, they haven't chipped, cracked, peeled, or anything in the past month.  That was until yesterday.  I use my nails as "tools" way too often.  Well I was using my nail to pry off a lid and it just couldn't handle the pressure and tore.  Why am I telling you this story?  Normally my nail would break completely, but my Jamberry wrap held it together.  Yes, I have a tear in my nail still, but I was able to take off my old wraps and put a new set on without my nail coming off.  If the tear wasn't so low I would have just cut my nail, but since it is close to my nail bed, I am hoping my new wraps will allow my nail to grow out some and then I can trim it down to the tear.  Here is a close up of where my nail broke.

There have been so many other times I was using my nail for something it wasn't made for and I swore I broke it, but I didn't and I attribute it to my wraps acting like a protective tape.

And since I'm posting today, here is my Jamicure for the week in honor of St. Patrick's Day :)  Now when my sons run into my room on Tuesday in the early morning hours hoping to pinch me, I will already have my green on!

By the way, the picture of the Nature's Bounty bottle is of an unopened bottle because I just bought more at Costco because they had $5 off, so it was around $11 for 250 capsules.  If you are thinking of trying it, check out your Costco.

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.

Fruit Punch (retiring 2/28/15)

 

Carnival

 

Cardinal Lacquer

 

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!
