Dry Cuticles do NOT a pretty manicure make.......

Are you seeing dry cuticles around your Jams after application??  Have no fear.......or at least less fear......

In another installment of #TipsTuesday here is another tip to handle the new adventures of DRY CUTICLES!!!!



BEFORE you apply your Jams.....use some Jamberry Cuticle Oil AND some Nourish hand cream to get those cuticles nice and moist BEFORE you do any pushing back...that way you are getting rid of dead and keeping everything else nice and nourished!!!

  


Once you are done pushing back cuticles and cutting away the dead cuticle with your clean sharp cuticle scissors.....then use some good lacquer remover ((we all know how much I LOVE and ADORE Jamberry lacquer remover)) to get your nailbeds nice and clean......and your cuticles will appear LESS dry....





and of course WAIT 8-24 hours to apply cuticle oil so your Jams are cooled and SET!!! (I try to avoid Nourish for the same amount of time but it's SUPER hard!!))


I hope, as always that this helps with your application and over all appearance of your manicures. And if you don't have a personal Jamberry Consultant, feel free to contact me.  You can connect with me right on my Jamberry site!!

#TIPSTUESDAY - Let's go to the TAPE!!

Are you applying your Jams and still experiencing  BUBBLES?? or WRINKLES?? Lifting? Are you still having trouble with application?!?!  Have no fear.......or at least less fear......

In another installment of #TipsTuesday here is another tip to handle the further adventures of LIFTING & BUBBLING!! 






What?? TAPE?? Really??




Because you want to always #MindTheGap around your cuticles it's important to have the best possible fit and sometimes going down a size is too big or even too small....so best thing sometimes is to trim from behind using scotch tape!!  And the MOST important part of this tip.... put your tape 


Also, if you are putting Jams on your littles....this can be a fun little exercise for them in size differentials... a little learning thrown in!! 



I hope this helps your application.  And if you don't have a personal Jamberry Consultant, feel free to contact me.  You can connect with me right on my Jamberry site!!

#TipsTuesday - Is that your Pterygium or Are You Happy to See Me?

Are you applying your Jams and still experiencing  BUBBLES?? or WRINKLES?? Lifting? Are you still having trouble with application?!?!  Have no fear.......or at least less fear......

In another installment of #TipsTuesday here is another tip to handle the further adventures of LIFTING & BUBBLING!! 



What?? Invisible cuticle and what's this Pterygium you speak of?? Ok.....everyone has invisible cuticle.....really....everyone!! But some is thicker and needs a gentle nudge to go away and Pterygium is the scar tissue that can build up and/or damage that may occur at the base of your nailbed from an injury...this is more common than you might think and you might not even notice...you can remove it easily with Jamberry's new cuticle remover pen and/or with my absolute favorite all purpose nail tool.....the CUTICLE SPOON......the BEST $10 you will ever spend...it will be so helpful to your applications that you won't know how you've lived without it for so long!!



Because of it's double ends, one can scrape away the edges of the dead cuticle and the "spoon" end can be used to push the cuticle back while simultaneously scraping back the invisible cuticle AND because it's metal, can be heated  to help SMOOTH down your jams.....whaaaaaaaaaat??? I also use the outside of the rounded spoon end to add warm pressure on the bottom edges of my jams close to my cuticle......And until my most favorite day in which we can offer a Jam cuticle spoon, you can get a fabulous quality cuticle spoon from Sally's or Ulta.  And I DO recommend you go for the quality of a good one, the heavier grade will hold the heat and be sharper and more effective.

Also, if you are putting Jams on your littles.....having a cuticle spoon is a MUST!! It is a safe, non-toxic way to remove cuticle overgrowth that kids always  have...it's a sign they are super healthy!! 





I hope this helps your application.  And if you don't have a personal Jamberry Consultant, feel free to contact me.  You can connect with me right on my Jamberry site!!

#TIPSTUESDAY - Let's Sit and Have a Spot of Tea

Are you applying your Jams and the next morning BUBBLES?? or WRINKLES?? Lifting? Are you having trouble with application?!?!

In another installment of #TipsTuesday here is another tip to handle the further adventures of LIFTING & BUBBLING!!





That's right......



plain ole' black tea you get at your grocery store and a little swirl of Dawn.....let the tea steep until it's dark....and cool then soak for approximately 2 mins.  I put mine in a bowl big enough to put both hands.....just make sure to have some paper towels or an old hand towel so while you are doing your application you can keep wiping your nails WITH the tea solution as you go along.....you won't BELIEVE the difference!!

I hope this helps your application.  And if you don't have a personal Jamberry Consultant, feel free to contact me.  You can connect with me right on my Jamberry site!!
