Washing your hands with dish soap before is the best because it can help remove oils from your nails that can cause the jams to bubble. Also, there are such things as invisible cuticles, that's why we have a cuticle remover pen which works wonders when trying to push back the cuticles. I have a great application video from my Premier Executive and her application process works great and has actually prolonged the life of my jams on my fingers, I'd be happy to share it with you.<br /><br />Remember it's actually optimal to have a tiny bit of nail showing on the sides. If your nail wrap is too large and touches the skin on the sides of your nail it won't last as long and will bubble.<br /><br />For removsl, using the lacquer remover is the best! You want to break the seal of the nail and gentle work back the wrap with a soaked cotton ball or I like to use a q-tip tip. Removing this way should not damage your nails at all. If there is damage then you havent done something quite right.<br /><br />Hope this helps and you continue to use jamberry!

The right application and watching some troubleshoot videos very readily available on youtube will help with the crinkles!! With curved nails it takes way longer and time to do than just heat and apply, but SO worth it in the end!! Plus cheaper!! Did I mention I own a store where I sand, saw, paint, and gorilla glue all day long? AND they still hold out WAY longer than any other nail application I have tried! And trust me when I say, I have tried every kind of nail sheet out there!! I have spent more money than 1 sheet of Jamberry Nails trying to find the one, because before I became a consultant, I wanted to believe on what I was selling!

But on a closer look, the sides are not touching so I guess they're not too wide. But at the root they definitely touch the cuticles, and you want to avoid that.<br /><br />My suggestion is stay farther away from the root cuticles, and after you heat the wraps, really apply pressure and push forward to smooth them out. It's not uncommon to have a little buckling and wrinkling, but yours is severe and looks like it wasn't heated enough or not enough pressure. The fact that it's perfect on your pinkie meaning it's the application problem. Give it another try and you should be getting better!

My nails are weird, narrower at the base and wider at the top and so i had to trim mine to fit. I also really forced them under my cuticles to make sure no skin was touching. my biggest complaint is that the tips start to get rough and catch on things. so i find everyday i'm slighting trimming my nail and the wrap to keep up and its annoying. i heated them 2-3 times while applying. any tips?

And as an adult once every now and again I crave a bit of fairy bread (probably more for nostalgic reasons). However, I don't eat butter or margarine, so it's bit hard for me to make for myself - I tend to just have to squish the 100s and 1000s onto the bread (as a child I used the palm of my hand - and then got to lick the 100s and 1000s off my palm)! As a mother I let me daughter have this for a rare treat for lunch - provided she only ate it outside!

It takes a bit of pati...Application is everything!<br /><br />It takes a bit of patience, but I am able to keep mine on for 12-14 days without wear (it is all regrowth, so I change it up).<br /><br />1. Nail beds can get oily. This affects application (just like getting gels where they dry out the nail bed). Wash with Dawn soap or something similar. Soaps with oils and butters hinder the application process.<br /><br />2. Nails MUST be clean and dry. After thoroughly removing nail polish, be sure to wash hands. Use alcohol wipes too, if needed.<br /><br />3. Gently buff nails.<br /><br />4. Find a nail wrap size that is right. Many people apply wraps that are too big. If they touch the cuticle/nail bed, they are TOO wide. So many pictures on the internet feature people wearing ill-fitting wraps. This hinders application.<br /><br />5. Pressure and heat are important. Unlike Sally Hansen, these are NOT stickers. They are heat activated vinyl adhesive. Use the dryer for 3 to 5 seconds and apply pressure to the nail. Make sure you get a good fit without wrinkles. Smooth it out, press again, heat again. Pay close attention to the tips and around the cuticles.<br /><br />I was a Jamberry user for 10 months before I signed up. I never planned to sell them, in fact. I was sent these last fall to review for my blog and fell in love!Karley Ziegler Motthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603382864950531010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-42388179412888006362013-09-16T07:36:17.092-05:002013-09-16T07:36:17.092-05:00I'm glad it wasn't just me.

I recently ordered some shields and am having similar problems with application. I have long and really curved nail beds (looks similar to yours) and they simply won't lay completely flat. I even had my Jamberry consultant try applying them to my nails and she could come close but still couldn't get some nail shields to lay flat without practically burning my fingers trying to heat the wraps on my nails and smooth out bumps. I can successfully apply these to my daughter's nails which have flatter nail beds and they have excellent staying power for her, so perhaps these just aren't ideal for our nail style. Which is a shame since they come in cute designs, but I have much better luck with nail polish strips from the drug store. Less application time, less hassle, and much cheaper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-53799825010263760712013-08-29T16:37:00.300-05:002013-08-29T16:37:00.300-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793505173114501505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-89466027674866467262013-08-05T09:38:29.543-05:002013-08-05T09:38:29.543-05:00Love Firmoo!

I am a Jamberry Consultant and to answer your question No, they are not like acrylics or gel polish where you have damage. There are two "official" Jamberry Recommended removal processes 1st is to heat the wrap and slowly peel it off (SOME people have experienced slight damage this way) so I recommend the 2nd method which is to soak your natural nail in fingernail polish remover that contains acetone (some people even use Cooking Oil) to help the adhesive to release. Here is a link to both the application and removal instructions and a few video's to help http://mtippett.jamberrynails.net/about/apply/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01492522051823149877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444541.post-47845675476821642422013-03-04T10:59:49.413-06:002013-03-04T10:59:49.413-06:00I'm just discovering this nail option and wond...I'm just discovering this nail option and wonder if they are like acryllic? I have really good nails and at the salon they tell me not to get acryllic because it will ruin my good strong nails. I'm looking at this option because a friend of mine's daughter is a rep, but out of state, so if I order, I'm on my own. So I guess my main answer is: is this a healthy option for my nails?
