I thought it might be a nice idea to do a Jamberry review from a nail tech’s perspective. I’ve been able to find plenty of reviews from at-home users and Jamberry consultants, but none from a professional nail tech.
Background: I received the small Jamberry samples in two different patterns – one floral and one blue snakeskin. They were given to me by a co-worker, who got them from someone else who knows a Jamberry consultant. So this is an honest review, as I don’t even know the person the samples originally came from, and I did not pay for anything.
Here’s the nail art I did with the floral sample.
On the other 8 nails I used Gelish Po-riwinkle from the Kung Fu Panda 3 Collection.
To apply the Jamberry wraps I first trimmed them to fit my pinky nails, then rested them next to a hot bulb for about 30 seconds to make them pliable. After completing my normal nail surface prep, I peeled the wraps from the clear base and applied them to the nail. They applied very easily, adhered well, and had only a couple of wrinkles at the sides of the nails. I put one coat of Gelish Top It Off over the wraps.
Stay tuned for part two of this review, which will be an update on how the wraps are holding up after 1 week. I’m taking the 7-day challenge!

Great review!
I think you might have over heated them. After I apply my jamberry wraps cold and am happy with the placement, I only heat them in front of the low temp heater for 3-5 seconds depending on the material (glossy vs metallic vs matte). A hair dryer works as well, but a bulb gets too hot and so your adhesive was compromised. I suggest finding a consultant or review some of the application videos on youtube and then try them again. On youtube. search for the jamberry 1-2-3 method and the cold method…I use a combination of those. There is also a baseball method for curvy nails, but I think the 1-2-3 method does well for that also.
