Tutorial: Jamberry Smash Shields

I'm ever upwards for trying novel things...especially when I accept a coupon! When I came across a coupon for Jamberry Nail Shields I was at in 1 lawsuit intrigued! I Googled, saw expert reviews as well as bought!

I idea I would chop-chop portion my Jamberry Nails sense as well as some tips I respect useful on getting a improve application! Please pardon the pitiable photos - I took them amongst my iPad instead of my existent camera.

Here are the instructions from the Jamberry website:

• Step 1: Clean nails amongst smash shine remover or alcohol. (Clean, petroleum costless nails are 1 of the most of import steps of the application)
• Step 2: Cut as well as file nails to desired length as well as shape.
• Step 3: Buff elevation of the smash as well as force dorsum cuticle.
• Step 4: Match smash (finger or toe) to the smash shield that best fits.
• Step 5: Peel off smash shield as well as warm amongst a blow-dryer 10-15 seconds or until soft as well as flexible.
• Step 6: When warm, press the shield onto the nail. Apply theatre delineate per unit of measurement area or as well as hence edges to adhere the shield to the nail. Use safe cuticle pusher to seal the shield or as well as hence the cuticle.
• Step 7: Trim the elevation amongst pair of scissors as well as file off remaining shield using a downward displace to take excess.
• Step 8: Apply oestrus as well as delineate per unit of measurement area to the shield in 1 lawsuit to a greater extent than until it is sealed to the nail. (Repeating this pace several times helps exercise a tight seal to the smash surface as well as increases wearable time)
• Optional Step 9: For active users y'all tin give notice add together a modest amount of smash gum to the costless border to improve seal the smash shield. 

Here are my ain tips!

Supplies! I used the same every bit inwards the instructions, except for 1 thing...

An embossing gun! I institute that this heats the shields to a greater extent than than a pilus dryer as well as  is easier to role because at that topographic point is a stand upwards as well as a to a greater extent than directly airflow. It does teach REALLY hot, though, as well as hence y'all accept to move careful!

I accept VERY curved nails, as well as hence I accept to proceed mine curt to exercise the shields. When they teach long, the shields tend to buckle as well as don't remain on every bit long. This is correct earlier I trimmed as well as filed.

And...done!

Overall, it took close 45 minutes for my offset FULL ready (I've done 1-2 nails mixed amongst shine only to teach the technique downwards prior to doing a total set). The overnice matter is...no drying, no smudges, no topcoat. When y'all are done, y'all are done!

I'm excited to run across how long they final since I am difficult on my hands amongst typing, cleaning products, etc. As of now, I would give them a B+! I didn't accept whatsoever smash gum on hand, but I mightiness attempt that adjacent time, too. Just inwards case!
