Another pink Jamicure, because he said so

Sometimes when I flip through my Jamberry Nails collection, I get overwhelmed. I've been a consultant for just over a year, and a customer barely longer. I have a pretty decent size collection. I have multiples of my all time favorites because I know Jamberry does TWO retiring lists each year; and my favorites could be sent away to the secret vault, never to be seen again. I love to mix and match, add a cute accent nail here and there. So of course I sometimes make purchases of Jams that coordinate. Thus, overwhelmed.

In these desperate times, I call to my husband. For real. Half of the time when I am doing my nails I am sitting on the couch while we are watching tv, so he's *right* there. I can just hold up a couple and all he has to do is point. Occasionally I'll hand him my whole stash and tell him to "just pick one!" for me. And he does. I think he likes that I appreciate his opinion or that I want my nails to look nice for him, not just myself.

I fell on these desperately overwhelming times on Sunday evening. I have all of my Jamberry wraps in a photo album (they fit PERFECTLY in a 4x6 ... just sayin'). I sat flipping through and couldn't decide. My husband wanted to play a game but he was waiting for me to finish my nails first. After ten minutes or so he said, "give me the book." Fifteen to twenty minutes later ..... Voila!

Carmen Ombre  -  I originally wasn't sure how I felt about this design when I first saw it, but the more and more pics "on real hands" I saw, the more and more I loved it. I think it's my favorite pedicure for sure!

Here's my pedicure pic from back in April.

Also, I'm still pretty impressed with the fact that I got a whole manicure & pedicure out of the Jamberry sheet, and I'll still be able to get one of each again!

That moment you realize your Jamberry nails match .... everything.

Your nails usually say a lot about you or your personality. Maybe the colors you pick match outfits in your closet. Or designs you choose represent other things you enjoy in your life.

My favorite colors are pink and purple so it's no surprise that a lot of my Jamicures match or coordinate with a lot of my clothes.
Because of this, you would think I would NOT be surprised when I'm sitting in a salon chair, relaxing while getting my hair done and I look in the mirror, phone in hand, to see this ....

My exclusive August Stylebox Jamicure matches PERFECTLY with my cell phone case. I'd had my nails done like this for a little over a week and only noticed while sitting in that chair, facing a giant mirror. But to be fair to myself, when I have my phone near me, it's face up, so it's not like I stare at the back all the time. ;)

So, what does YOUR jamicure match? 

Jamberry August Stylebox

Jamberry Nails has decided to create an exclusive subscription based item. You can now have your favorite nail items delivered to your door each month! 

Each Jamberry Stylebox will include one item from the catalog and one exclusive coordinating item. 

You can check out all the details about the Stylebox HERE. 

Open enrollment began in July with the first Stylebox shipping out on August 5th. I received mine the other day and it was like Christmas even though I knew what I was getting! Because this was the first month, Jamberry exects launched the item showing everyone how the Stylebox worked and what we'd be getting. This month is all about the "Color of the Year - Orchid."  The catalog item was a sheet of Orchid Bouquet, with the coordinating exclusive item as a chevron design in shades of purples & orchid. SO pretty!!!  

Who wouldn't be excited to see this in their mailbox each month?! 

I love the Orchid Bouquet and had previously paired it with Orchid Glimmer: 

But here's what you've all been waiting for ....


The August Stylebox Exclusive chevron. I'm LOVIN' it!!
I added accent nails in the Iris Lacquer, with Lovestruck glitter top coat (that was an exclusive item with a Valentine Lacquer set).

Going, Going, Gone!

It's that time of year... Have you heard?

Jamberry has over 100 designs being retired from the Spring/Summer 2014 catalog to make room for the new Fall/Winter designs!!  These designs will ONLY be available until August 31st!!!

I've gone through the list and am sad to see a few of my favorites being locked up in the Jamberry vault forever, but I've also been making a "gotta have" wish list to grab before they're gone. :)

I threw together this collage of all MY Jamicures wearing designs that are on the retiring list.

Top: Candy Chevron (Matte), Raspberry Sparkle, Alphabet, Sapphire Blue Sparkle, Wisteria
Middle: Heartstrings, Pink & Purple Peacock, Feminine Flair, Red Sparkle 
Bottom: Black & White Damask, Neutral Tiger, Lollipop Chevron, Sugar Plum Glimmer

Take a Peak at the rest of the Going, Going, Gone list  - How many are on YOUR wish list?!

Pink is my favorite color

Hey Jammers! 

Today I was putting together a collage of all my Jamicures that featured the upcoming retiring designs (calm down, you'll get to see these in my next post!). I came to the conclusion that pink is most definitely my favorite color to do my nails in. I'm not biased. I don't judge. Any shade of pink will do. ;) 

I did spice it up a little and do two purple Jamicures in a row, and then a blue one. Whoa! Way out of the box for me! -lol- But now I am back to pink! 

Did you know that Jamberry Nails offers designs on a clear background? Perfect for layering! I used Black Tips (in medium length) on top of Raspberry Sparkle. Then I did a few accent nails in my "Unicorn" retired design, Black Lace on Magenta. I'm thinking this is probably my second all time favorite Jamicure yet, and that's saying something since I've been wearing them for about a year now. 

What do you think? Love it or Leave it? 

I also felt like re-doing my pedicure. It's also pink. ;)

I did my big toes in retired White Stars on Pink, and the rest of my little piggies with the new Kiss Lacquer. Definitely loving it too!!
