Jamberry Mani- Mixed Media\Patterns

Hi Monkeys, I had some friends over for a Jamberry party and thought I'd share 2 manis that I did. The idea was to have mixed textures, patterns and colors- a mixed media mani. While I don't remember the exact colors used, I can give you an idea of how to achieve the look.

First up was a simple skittle mani using mostly the OPI Brazil collection (the index finger is the new NOPI core collection purple). Jamberry accent was an animalish print with a multi colored gradient underneath so I played off of those colors. Very Spring inspired and fun!

Next up was more of a mixed media mani and I love how this turned out. The accent finger is Jamberry- it's a minty green with yellow polka dots. The little finger is Don't Bossa Nova Me Around (OPI Brazil) with three matte black rhinestones, the middle is Zoya Cosmo (Magical Pixie), index finger is OPI 4 In The Morning (Gwen Stefani) with two light blue rhinestones, top coated then matted.. the thumb was Milani white as a base followed by chevron nail vinyls painted over in Milani Black Swift, then removed to show the chevron design.

Each mani is quite different and unique. I like each for completely opposite reasons: the first for the pops of color and who doesn't like a skittle mani, and the second for the mixed patterns and textures.

Overall, two pretty cool manis.

Jamberry Nails: Tutorial and Review

I have a tutorial/review from Jamberry nails today. So let me tell you about these beauties before we get into details. They are like nail applications but not nail polish, they are more like vinyl and they apply with heat from a hair dryer and pressure. Below the video I've put useful links and the instructions from their website. Sorry the video is out of focus in parts, my camera would not play nice. These specific decals are called "Fireworks" and there's also a holo version! I'm going to wear test a different design for you in about a week and a half so I'll have that result but for now, this is strictly a how to apply and to get you familiar with Jamberry!  You can email Jenni Shirley who is an independent Jamberry consultant, and they retail for $15 which is great because, you cannot get nail art with a manicure for that price!
