What's New in 2015

My name is Jenni, and I am addicted to nail polish.

 If I sees it, I buys it. It's not at all unusual for me to purchase 2, 3, 5 bottles a week. Tee hee. I love it. I need ALL THE COLORS! In the most recent re-organization, I clocked in at 200 bottles even. (OCDgasm).

 The problem with this, (Besides the obvious dent in my bank account), is that my nails are completely uncooperative. They're soft, bendy, and oily. (that's a thing. Apparently.) Whether it's a 2 for $5 bottle from Five Below or my $30 bottle of REAL 24K gold flaked Opi, my manicure will undoubtedly peel off of my fingers in 1 or 2 days. Seriously. I've tried every base coat out there, and everything may as well be Tinkerbell Peel-off, for as well as it stays on my fingers.

  Acrylic nails? Besides making my fingers feel like they're suffocating? Peel off too. Even the great Gel Manicure disaster of August 2014 was, well, a disaster. After 3 "touch ups" in 4 days, the poor girls at my salon looked like they wanted to ban me for life, and I gave up. It was also hell on my sensitive nails. They're now peeling, which they've NEVER done before that awful gel.  I'm STILL growing out the damage. Never. Again.


  So when I decided to give Jamberry nail wraps a try (it was easily justified as a benefit for my friend's pitbull rescue), I was excited, but my hopes were not too high.

  Boy, was I proved wrong. My first "jamicure" lasted 5 days. FIVE. DAYS. I've never EVER had a polish last 5 days. After a few more applications, and some trial and error regarding my own impossible nails, I've gotten them to last 8 days - only changing on my own terms (getting tired of them) and not because I NEED to. They're amazing. The new growth I've had is great, too! The damage from those horrible gel nails is almost gone, and my new nails are definitely nicer and stronger.

  So, naturally, I had to become a consultant and share this awesomeness with EVERYONE!

  First off, the designs are adorable. And they have something for everyone - whether you need something simple and professional, or you love to go crazy with patterns. They hold up through hand washing and pretty hard-core crafting. (One Jamicure even stood up to me disassembling and reassembling our bathroom sink after my niece lost a toy down there.) They don't use any harsh chemicals or super-glue - they adhesive sticks with warm heat. What I love about this, is that even if I do get a little rough on a nail (trying to peel a sticker, or a stubborn orange), I can re-activate the seal with a pair of tweezers warmed up with a heater or a lighter. No worries!

 I love them, and I'm confident that you will to! Give them a try by clicking on my link - Jenni Mae's Jamberry Nails , or send me an e-mail to try them out FREE - I'll send you a sample sheet and instructions. Once you're hooked, have an online party and earn tons of FREE wraps and goodies (I got over 20 sheets with the party I hosted - that's enough for 40 mani/pedis and some accents!)

 Seriously, I can't gush about these wraps enough. I use my hands a LOT to demonstrate things at work, and I always felt self-conscious about my cruddy, chipped nail polish. Now I'm always getting compliments! :D  Try them ASAP and you'll see what I mean!

Be Awesome!
