I am noting the correction due to a lot of feedback, but I am not adjusting the list because it is a minor detail that doesn't effect the outcome of this post. I had been taught to do this, however you do not need to file the nail plate BUT you do need to buff it, which is not currently a step on the list and is not necessary for Color Street. This is my personal opinion and experience.ĮDIT - A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ON MY CASE BECAUSE OF STEP #3 (FILE NAIL PLATE).

Color Street takes about 3 seconds to remove, so it's not as big of a problem. However with Jamberry wraps the removal process if long, which causes a lot of people to pick and peel their wraps. You may nick your nail plate, but most often you are just fine. And if you pick the wraps off you will see it is the same as picking off polish. You also don't have to buff the nail plate at all. With Color Street while it is recommended that you push back the cuticle (because it will look nicer, and your mani will last longer) you will not damage your cuticle if you don't. You also have to buff the nail plate to give the nail grip so the adhesive can hang on, (a lot of people file the nail plate because it makes the wraps last longer, but this is also not recommended). And if you do not push back the cuticle you WILL damage the cuticle. First of all with Jamberry if you pick or peel of your wraps (which is not recommended) you WILL damage the nail, there is no way around it.

Where the Color Street options are 100% Nail Polish and do not have any kind of glue-like adhesive and do not require you to file/buff the nail plate.īecause of some controversy I am going to expound on this one a little. Also the strong adhesive on the Jamberry wraps is basically just strong glue that often causes damage when removing. But what is bad? Filing or buffing the nail plate which is a part of applying Jamberry nail wraps. You're probably like "but wait, you just said Color Street had that bad chemical in it, how did it win?" Because TPHP isn't actually bad for your nails at all. Did I forget to mention Jamberry also has a Wonder Woman and Peanuts collection!? Because they do and it is AMAZING! In addition to nail art they also have french tip options, solid colors and glitter shades! I think they have a really solid start as far as designs and I can't wait to see them hone in on more chic looks in the future! I am sure they will collab in the future, they are a baby company after all, but Jamberry has them solidly beat here. They also have a Disney Collection that is super cute, kid's sets, a line that has sports and college logos on them as well as a Design Studio where you can have your own custom wraps made! Color Street has a solid 40 designs to start with including geometric designs, some looks that are bold and bright, some that are sleek and simple, soft and romantic looks and more. I didn't count them all but I would say over a thousand different looks can be found. Jamberry has TONS of designs, I was really impressed. Jamberry has been around for seven years, while Color Street is brand new and has only been in business for a couple of months.

Accent nail sheets come with five different wrap styles and gals usually try one one with a coordinating lacquer on the other nails, and then they can see how well the wraps last! I love to share about Jamberry because guess how I got involved? I requested a sample from someone’s teacher blog! You can request your own sample by filling out the form in the Rafflecopter below, clicking here, or on the image in the sidebar.Jamberry wins on this one, although that may change in 3 years. I decided to share some of my favorite winter styles with you and for those who are new to Jamberry (or those who already know and love them) could win a sheet of accent nail wraps. There are over 350 adorable style options! One sheet of nail wraps will give you up to 2 manis and 2 pedis! If you’re a Jamberry newbie, Jamberry nail wraps are high quality, vinyl, heat activated and pressure sealed nail wraps that last for weeks, at a fraction of the cost of a salon visit! They do not have any harsh chemicals, you won’t have to deal with chipped polish, or damage to your natural nail. This year, my students are also pretty interested in what I put on so I am really looking forward to my first jamicure for December.

Happy December everyone! I have been so excited about amping up my holiday style with some fun Jamberry Nail Wraps! I have been a consultant for about a year and half so I also got to have fun with it last year in November and December.
