Take Time For You...

Most people who know me, know that going to the nail salon 2 times a month has been my "me" time.  No kids, no responsibilities, no worries.  I often times have shared my cute designs, my favorites being Hello Kitty, Gingerbread Men, a Pokeball & Pikachu, & kitty cats, to name a few.

This past year I have slacked in that department, as spending $100/month (more if the Girl went with me) was getting to be too much.



My friend Mary offered to teach me how to apply some Jamberry nail wraps that had been sitting in my desk drawer for over a year.  Yes, I had purchased nail wraps for fundraisers to help out friends, but had never learned how to apply them.


Mary has made quite a little living out of her Jamberry business, and has tried to get me to have a party.  I have politely declined, as I have many friends who sell them, and I didn't want to be another person pushing something on others.  I'm not saying that that is what all people do, I'm just saying that is how I would feel if I were to sell them.  Anyway, Mary is my go-to gal if I need new nail wraps. Yes, I've purchased from other people--a friend recently went into the Design Studio & created some wraps for the Boy's team for the 2015 Autism Puzzle Walk & 5K. Another friend had some special Down's Syndrome wraps made that I absolutely had to have, but Mary....my Mary...is kind and patient, & is a no pressure sales lady.


Mary asked me to try the wraps & give a review.  So here we go:
These wraps are amazing!!!  I thought they were going to be a royal pain in the butt to apply; especially to my dominant hand.  NOPE!!!  No issues here....there was a small learning curve (for me) to get them to look "polished" and it only took a few applications to get it.  You know the saying, "Practice Makes Perfect"??  Well, it definitely applies here.


These wraps are all I want to use, and I've found that it actually quite relaxing to do.  When I'm done, I don't have to wait for my nails to dry--that is so cool.  Now, I have to admit, I still love the look of plain old polished nails, but Jamberry has a solution for that!!  They sell these amazing lacquers that are simply luscious--yes, I said luscious.  The lacquers go on beautifully and dry quickly.  My favorite thing to so is to apply a clear wrap with a subtle design over the top of my lacquered nails---so stinkin' pretty!!


These wraps are always Buy 3, get 1 free, which is awesome.  I don't have to go to the salon to have cool looking nails.


Now, I've just spent a bit of time trying to add some pictures to this blog post, so you could see my pretty nails, but for some reason, I am unable to add pictures tonight, so you are going to have to take a peek when I post them on the Sassy Pants Lives Here Facebook page.




As I said, Mary is the best consultant!!  No pressure, and willing to answer any questions that you may have.  I am posting a link to her page, and if You have questions, please feel free to shoot her an email/message.  I don't usually endorse products, but this one is something I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
