I could see that I wouldn’t be able to get my nails as perfect or as even as those women in Warsaw did, and my home manicure would probably still look like a home manicure. I could tell, though, that even with Jamberry my nails would still be my nails. Maybe I was dreaming of getting a little of that back today? The nail artists carefully and meticulously followed the white line of my own nail and gave my fingernails a shape and beauty they’d never had. The only time I ever thought they looked beautiful was when I was in college and my family lived in Poland, and my sisters and I discovered a little nail salon near my parents’ house in Warsaw that would do beautiful, inexpensive, perfect French manicures. They’re wide and short, thin and brittle, and I’ve never liked how they looked… with polish or without.
I should tell you right now that I am not proud of my nails. With a hairdryer, a pair of nail scissors, and my kids napping upstairs (oh… and a handy husband-photographer!), I went to work on my nails. The package arrived a couple of days after Jen put in the order, and I was pleasantly surprised at the simple instructions. (I did consider getting nail wraps for my alma mater, though!) There are heaps of options, including floral and wintery and even Mommy and Me (!), but I went with what is truest to me: a simple, natural-but-better French manicure. I looked on the website and found the simplest, sweetest nail wrap that was just my style.
A child - or my own notorious clumsiness - always messes the polish up before it’s dry. I basically never have a perfect home mani or pedi. She mentioned how easy the nail wraps were to put on as a busy mom: all you need is a hairdryer and there’s no wet polish! Can I tell you how many times life messes up my nails as soon as they’re painted?Įvery.

I love clothes, but I don’t wear many accessories, and I generally prefer my nails bare and free of polish. I’m pretty low maintenance, especially about my nails. Have you heard of Jamberry? When my friend Jen asked me if I’d like to do a nail wrap giveaway, I wasn’t sure.
