They just take me too long to put on and I have no motivation! I love them though. I do think the heater would make it a lot easier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1947530 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 12:50:15 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1947530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I got mine to last about 10 days before they started lifting and driving me crazy. Lol. I used the plastic bag technique and cleaned my nails with dawn before and did the alcohol wipe before each nail. I think having the jamberry heater would make applying a lot easier. I honestly haven't had time lately to put some on. I'll probably do a set before Thanksgiving. One thing I did notice was after removing my second set, my nails have started peeling which they haven't done in years! Maybe I didn't remove them correctly though. They are super cute and I really love the designs but I don't have much time to do them with a 10 month old. I would've been all about these pre-kid though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1947358 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 11:36:58 +0000 swurlygurl 1947358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: @yellowbird: @MrsH: @blackbird: Love all your nails!!

I'm really wanting to get some/give some as Christmas gifts, but if they're too much of a PITA... :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1873664 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 21:39:32 +0000 Emsmems 1873664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: that video seems very helpful!

I know one girl who said it takes her 20 min for a full set where it took an hour before. I agree that it is kind of a pain but better than polish chipping after a couple days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1873456 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 18:01:00 +0000 Smurfette 1873456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emsmems: I only did one nail since I just had a sample and I wasn't impressed. Hard to put on (cutting them to fit) and it peeled off. But I have been told I put it on wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1873448 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 17:42:20 +0000 Emsmems 1873448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: @yellowbird: cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1873408 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:39:25 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1873408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my problem was I was using my fingers to peel them up and might've gotten oil on the wrap. </p> [attach=1468/14/ncbo5q.451x600.IMG_20140918_202527.jpg] [attach=1468/14/ncbo5t.600x338.IMAG4354.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1873405 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:36:04 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1873405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want my Jamberry nails to work! I'm only on my second set (day 4) and they are bubbling at the edges and catching on my hair. Argh. I love love love all the designs and I really want them to work! I just watched an application video and I think I have a new plan for my next set. </p> <p>This is the video I watched:<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOKeDakFRSk" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOKeDakFRSk</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1873403 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:33:47 +0000 yellowbird 1873403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered some. I like their longevity but they are a pain to put on! </p> [attach=1925/14/ncbnwd.450x600.20140914_183344.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1873391 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 16:17:11 +0000 Emsmems 1873391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Are you liking your jamberry nails now? I just ordered a bunch, but have never tried them!

I actually decided to click on the catalog, I might be intrigued. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1796286 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 19:34:17 +0000 MrsH 1796286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: that picture made me buy love fern ;)</p> <p>And just to add to the annoying </p> [attach=1960/14/n9rax7.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1795110 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 06:28:16 +0000 Smurfette 1795110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: yeah my friend, who sells them, told me I needed to heat the back before I apply. I didn't see that part, Opps! She is going to send me another sample. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1794999 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 22:12:18 +0000 blackbird 1794999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smurfette, hmm mine came with instructions. You have to clean your nail, buff it, then heat the strip up, apply, use pressure, then trim. Kind of a pain. But I'll do anything to keep me from biting my damn nails </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1794982 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 21:46:03 +0000 MrsH 1794982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like them. The patterns are cute and stay on a lot longer than polish, which usually chips for me by day two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1794939 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 21:02:56 +0000 mrsjyw 1794939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: I tried a sample. It's a PITA and you wouldn't like it. I didn't. :P Even with a dryer it was hard to get evenly flat on my nails and then cutting the edges was a PITA esp for an OCD freak like me! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1794863 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 19:43:19 +0000 Boheme 1794863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: those look really cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1794843 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 19:17:17 +0000 Smurfette 1794843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: so I just put the sample on and it pealed right off?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1794818 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 18:33:41 +0000 yoursilverlining 1794818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why have I never heard of these before?!?! Hmmm off to investigate </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1794809 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 18:23:14 +0000 chopsuey 1794809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wanting to try them, but they seem like a pita to put on. Especially since I don't have a hair dryer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1794740 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:09:46 +0000 loveisstrange 1794740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: agreed. </p> <p>I think they're cute but I think they're really expensive. And tHe direct sales thing is annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1794722 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 16:37:25 +0000 blackbird 1794722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smurfette, it's basically my ceramic space heater! It just frees up your hands. The plastic baggy trick is where, after you apply them, you wrap the bag super tight around your nails and put it near the heater to basically shrink wrap the nails on.</p> <p>And just to be annoying....heh. </p> [attach=618/14/n9ndg5.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/jamberry-nails#post-1794576 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 14:20:23 +0000 mrs. bird 1794576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: yes!!! i'm so with you on that. it's obnoxious. </p>
