Mani Pedi Ready by Jamberry Nails

They're very easy to apply -- cut to fit, heat with a blow dryer, and smooth on nails. For uncoordinated gals like me, this is a huge plus!

2. I inevitably destroy any manicure within minutes of applying the "quick-dry top coat." With Jamberry, there's no wet polish, no wait time, and no walking around on your heels so your toes don't touch the carpet. Super!

3. No odor. Let's face it: nail polish and nail polish removers stink. Plus they contain harsh (and often dangerous) chemicals.

4. Waaaaay cheaper than a salon manicure! One sheet can easily do 2-3 sets of finger or toe nails (more on short nails like mine) and costs fifteen dollars (or less if you take advantage of the buy 3, get 1 free deal). This also means you can go in on sheets with a friend and split them so you can try more designs!

5. They're in it for the long haul. Jamberry Nail Shields last about 2 weeks on fingers and 6 weeks on toes with NO chips, smears, smudges, or dulling. Even fancy shellacs haven't done that for me.

6. They don't damage nails. I've had some gorgeous manicures, but whether it's a shellac, acrylic nails, or do-it-yourself nails, they've left my natural nails in terrible shape. Jamberry Nail Shields do not harm your nails and they're a snap to remove -- no salon visit required!

7. They're super cute! You will start getting compliments from friends, coworkers, and even strangers the first day you start wearing them! They come in a ton colors and designs that fit every style and situation.
