My Jamberry sample included an instruction sheet for applying the wraps.

As an experiment, I applied the Jamberry wraps to my pinky and ring fingernails and painted the rest with a neutral polish with the goal to keep them all on for a full week to see how the wraps compare to polish.

I received a sample of the Jamberry nail wraps from a Jamberry consultant to review last month. When the temporary adhesive on the backside of these polymer wraps is warmed, it creates a solid, waterproof bond with the nails that makes them incredibly durable. I checked the Environmental Working Group page and even they had nothing bad to say about this material. Jamberry wraps are made out of a material called Acrylates Copolymer which is a non-toxic, vegan, gluten-free, latex-free material deemed completely safe for cosmetic use on adults and kids. You apply them yourself with a few basic tools and they last for weeks, so the price is really quite reasonable compared to the price of a salon mani/pedi. Jamberry nail wraps are sold in $15US/$17CDN sheets of various sizes that are enough for two sets of hands and two sets of toes. Once they cool, they stay perfectly in place for up to two weeks on fingernails and up to six weeks on toenails. Jamberry nail wraps are little adhesive wraps that super ultra stick to your clean, unpolished nails when heated and are the answer to my I-want-cute-nails-but-hate-chipped-polish prayers. I asked one woman with striped nails how she got them to look so perfect and she said, “Jamberry.” And so, I usually have bare nails.īut over the past couple of months I’ve started noticing women on the street with really fun patterned nails, making mine look so boring in comparison.

It nicks and chips and then I obsess over it and peel it all off. And I’m pretty sure I had all of the polish picked off by noon the next day. I think the last time I painted my nails was for New Year’s Eve 2012.
