I love these! My dd has some that she let me use. I just placed my first order for me.
Some questions....
1. What are your favorite Jamberry designs?
2. Are you going to sign up for the new style box?
3. I took the style box quiz. I came out as "classic." Do you think the box will vary according to quiz results?

I'll chime in! I My favourites are Flowershop and Spotted. I also love the August host exclusive wraps. Need to take some more orders to get some more. I just put on some custom ones that I made through the NAil Art Studio. I'm already signed for the Stlye Box. Us consultants got to sign up early. So excited to get it! My style box result is feminine. I love my florals.

I LOVE my Jamberries. I signed my DIL to sell it I love it so much. I have way too many that I love - I cannot WAIT to get my June Sista Style in my order that just shipped. Be sure to check out the Sista Style each month because they are only available for that month. I love the butterflies from May. I have worn those twice. I am going to sign up for the box when I get home, I couldn't take the quiz at work. I think I will come out with the Feminine result. I love lots of florals too. I love to mix and match. I love the gold striped ones too, they wear really well. Stay shiny for a long time. I do find that 10 days is the absolute longest I can get mine to last BUT admittedly i dont ear gloves when i do dishes and I tend to be hard on my nails. Plus I like to change out often!!!

How long does it take you to apply them now that you are used to it?

I just received a sample in the mail.
I haven't used it yet because my nails have polish on them right now.
I'll admit, they sound like a PITA to put on to me. I'm lacking in patience for such things. BUT, when they are painted they start chipping in about 3 seconds, so if I can get past figuring out how to trim and file them and blah, blah, blah, I hope I will like them.

I think I'd really like the product but dang- it's the latest MLM scheme in my social circle and it drives me nuts.
My FB is chock full of people hosting parties, showing designs off and even the buy sell groups in my area are brimming with ads.
It's too much for me and I dislike invitations when someone just wants to make a buck from me.

How long does it take you to apply them now that you are used to it? It takes me less time to apply my jams than it does to paint my nails. No dry time!! And they look perfect for weeks at a time. I'm not a rep (although I've thought about it bc I like them so much, but I dislike MLM companies). Watch videos on YouTube for how to apply them. I prefer the "cold set" method (where you don't heat them before you apply them, you heat them after you apply them).

How do you get them to stay on for longer than a day? I took my time (a super long time), followed all directions, used their heater and they still started peeling the same day. I like the concept and the designs but it is worse than polish for me. Stacy

I like the concept and the designs but it is worse than polish for me. Stacy When did you try them? I know they had problems with the adhesive when the company first started, but the current adhesive is perfect, IMO. You have to push back your cuticles, clean your nails with alcohol right before you put them on, and then make sure the jam doesn't touch your cuticle or skin at all. As I said before, watch YouTube videos and look for the "cold set" method. There's also a YouTube video about sealing the edges of the jam with the edge of your straight iron. Works well for me.

I think they are too expensive. Plus every time i see someone post their new "jamicure" on facebook it looks like crap. How can they promote their business when they don't even use them properly?

I want to try them one of these days. But I agree, they are way expensive! I've been getting some sort of nail polish pattern type sticker things on ebay from China that last for ages. You just stick them on, file off the excess, and they are good to go for a couple weeks at least. And they are only a dollar or two for a set.

Can you post or pm me the link to the ebay store? Thanks!!

No, you don't have to heat them they're just like stickers. A lot of the designs are super cheesy but I have found a few that were cute. There isn't any specific store I have ordered from but usually I just make sure they say "sticker" or "nail art wrap". If you're in doubt almost all the sellers I have seen put the application instructions in the auction listing. I just bought these: www.ebay.com/itm/271497191799?var=570332534717&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I haven't tried them yet but the instructions do not say they require heat or water so I'm assuming they should apply just like the others I've bought from different sellers.

I've had two sets of jamberry's and loved them, but the very tip of my nail shows every time. It's not so bad when its a pattern, but the solid colors look awful.

I have seen these recently and I thought they were super expensive. I like the idea of them, but wonder if it will be just another MLM fad?

Thread is useless without pics!
Have been thinking about them but I agree with another poster, haven't seen a good mani pic just crappy applications.

I only buy them when they're on sale.
About once a quarter they go on sale buy 3 get 1 free and the rep I use matches the company sale, so it ends up being 5 sets for $45. I can get 20 fingernails and 20 toenails out of each set. IMO, it's worth it.
I've used the cheap sticker wraps (I find them at 99cent only stores here) and I like them. But they don't last nearly as long as jams.

Don't they start to look like crap as your nail grows out though when they are on for more than a week or two? I primarily do gel polish on my fingers and I remove it after 4-6 days because my nails grow so fast it just doesn't look good anymore. Maybe I just have freakishly fast growing nails....

I was worried about the price too, but then I realizes that each sheet is two pedicures and two manicures.

I've been invited to a few of these parties, but haven't gone as of yet. The one photo I saw on fb of someone who had a party and applied them - They looked terrible! I wouldn't have posted them online for others to see. I suspect it was her application, not the product, but still!

How do you see the august exclusive? They release 3 months in advance. So, say you hosted in June, and qualified fir all the host wraps, you'd get June, July and August. If you did the same in July, you'd get July,August & September. Make sense?

I just ordered for the first time. DD picked out 3 of them (all black and white patterns) and I picked "siesta". I can't wait to try them. I think the price is fine since I paid about $8 for enough for only one manicure at the store.

I am pretty sure that is the rugular deal.

Anyone know if the Jamberry Juniors would be big enough for my daughter? She is 8 and her hands are the size of mine (though mine are on the smaller side for an adult), but she has fairly short nailbeds. (I know that you don't know her, I'm just looking for advice as in they're usually big enough for most adults, or they really only work for little kids...)
