Hi friends, I'm on a bit of a nail frenzy these days so here is again another nail post. Today I'm sharing with you nail wraps called Jamberry Nail Wraps in Marsala In Bloom. Jamberry is a consultant based service where you can subscribe to it and create your own business out of it by getting others to join you.
I wanted to try the nail wraps not for business purpose but just for the fun of having different ready-to-use patterns on my nails. So I got in touch with one of the consultants Rebecca (you can order from her by visitng here website HERE) who shipped out my first package to me.

The nail wraps came with a detail instruction on how to join Jamberry to become a consultant along with a lovely purple envelope containing my strip of wraps.
One sheet has 9 wraps and you can cut them in half to use on your hands so one strip is good for both the hands. The nail wraps I got are in the pattern Marsala in Bloom - Marsala is the pantone color of the year so I chose this pattern. The design is a lovely floral pattern. The nail wraps are thin and flexible so its not difficult to cut them or apply them.
These nail wraps unlike most others available are free of odor so if you hate the smell of polish these are for you!
After proper application the nail wraps lasted me around 4 days after which they did start lifting off at the corners. I did not try them on any longer as I remove all my polish on a weekly basis - my nails grow out fast enough anyways. On toe nails these will surely last longer.
Now lets see how are Jamberry nail wraps applied. First of all get your stuff ready.
Things you will need:
 |

1. Jamberry nail wraps
2. Scissors (preferably the ones which are small with a curved head)
3. Orange stick (you can use a soft rubber cuticle pusher as well - you need a flat surface that does not have sharp edges)
4. Nail file block (any soft nail file will do)
5. A plastic sheet (this is optional but I'll tell you why and how it helped)
6. Hair dryer (not shown in pic) - you can purchase their mini heater but if you don't have that a hair dryer will do
Once you have your supplies ready you are all set to apply these wraps for beautiful looking nails.
How To Apply Nail Wraps

- Take the plastic sheet and place it over your nail. Draw the shape of your nail on the plastic sheet. Now place this over the Jamberry nail wrap to match the correct size for your nail. This will ensure that you are using the correct nail strip and also reduce the amount of cutting off that you need to do for a cleaner finish.
- Cut the required size from the strip that is close match to your nail size, the plastic guide will help you decide how much of the strip you need. Now gently lift off the wrap using the help of an orange stick as shown in the picture. Now take a hair dryer and gently blow hot air over the nail wrap. You will notice the nail wrap will become more flexible with the heat. Once you feel its flexible enough that is it will start to curve inwards - mostly a few seconds of heat is enough - you are ready to move to the next step.
- Carefully place the nail wrap on your nail. Notice in the picture above I have placed the wrap very close to the cuticle. Once it is in place push it down. Use your fingers to smooth it out. Take the orange stick or soft cuticle pusher to press it firmly on your nail and all along the nail surface.
- Now take a scissor or cuticle cutter and clip off the extra edges. This step is very easy if you have already selected the right sized nail wrap hence step 1 is very helpful.
- Now take the nail file and at a 90 degree angle just file away the edges until they are smooth. The filing is to be done vertically against the nail edge.
At any point during the application if you feel the wrap is not properly sticking to your nail bed, use a bit of hot air from your hair dryer and press it back down. If you follow the steps and ensure that your nails are absolutely clean and dry before application then you should get a clean application.
