I am not sure why, but a
little nail polish on my fingernails make me feel pretty, even fancy some days.
The trouble is, I don’t have time for proper nail upkeep. The cuticles, the
filing and shaping, the painting, the drying, etc. Sometimes I can just be plain lazy. So I am
always on the lookout for new quick and easy nail solutions, and it doesn’t
hurt if they are inexpensive because Mama is on a budget. (Did I mention I am
pregnant with our second set of twins?)
Recently Jamberry Nails came
on to my radar as a longer lasting solution to nail beauty. However,
convenience comes with a price. I have never personally attended a Jamberry
party nor have I used their products, but I know they cost about $15 per sheet, more than a bottle
of nail polish for obvious reasons. So, being the frugal person that I am, I
have shied away from Jamberry even though they are so darn cute.
The other day I was browsing
in our local Dollar Tree because we get some interesting and sometimes valuable
items in this particular location. I happened to stumble upon the nail care
section and found “Embossed Nail
Stickers” by Sassy +Chic.

So I tried them. So simple!
All you do Is clean your nails, press the sticker on, and then file off the
excess. How much easier can it be? The next day I had some slight peeling on
one nail, but that was due to a rookie mistake; I didn’t get all the air
bubbles out of the sticker. Think of these stickers as a screen cover on your
phone; you want to smooth out all the air bubbles or you get lumps. I had a lump
on a nail and that ripped. However, the rest of my nails continued to look good
for over a week and a half. Not too shabby for $1 nail care. (I get sooo many complimentson my nails!!)
More power to all of you who
sell and or buy Jamberry nail products. Your nails look beautiful! I am 100%
sure that your product is higher quality and lasts longer than these knockoffs,
however, I am satisfied with the knockoff price for as long as the Dollar Tree
has these in stock. Dollar Tree, not Dollar General or Family Dollar.

Thanks for sharing! Several friends of mine are selling Jamberry, and while they look cool and I'd love to support my friends, I'm not about to pay $15 for nail products. (I'm a $1 NYC kinda girl.) I do love the look and ease of nail wraps. I'll be on the look out at Dollar Tree for these!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa, thanks for the comment! I have found that different store locations carry different designs, which is nice. I highly suggest you stock up if you find them; the Dollar Tree tends to run out of things and not restock them.
ReplyDeletei used to use these same nails from dollar tree, until my aunt had a bad reaction to it... so that's how i found jamberry because they're non-toxic, latex free and gluten free. you never really know what you're putting on your nails until you start looking into it! check out the "5 free" info on non-toxic nails
ReplyDeleteHey! Sorry your aunt had a bad reaction :( I have checked out the 5 free info. Its amazing what they put in the products that we put on our body! I found that the wet n wild products are actually free of most of the yucky crap and they only cost about $.97! The bad thing is that they are cheaply made and the color is pretty watery :(
DeleteI have never had a manicure or pedicure so I don't feel like I am missing out since I can't afford it anyway. I do love looking at really cool nail designs though :)
