Jamberry Nails - Why have I not heard of this fabulousness sooner?!

I am really hard on my nails.  I love having manicures and pedicures.  I pretty much gave up on manicures because I end up chipping them so much.  I tried gels for a while, but can we say toxic?!  Not to mention that my nails got extremely weak - each time I changed them I felt like a whole layer of nail was coming off.  I recently found an article here that also points out the dangers of the UV light involved in gels.  So, for a while now I've just been getting pedicures.  I didn't mind indulging a bit, but even at some cheaper salons the price really adds up after a while.  Plus, I'm a sucker for the extras:  Callous remover?  Sure!  Design?  Absolutely!  If you are a graduate of Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, or have read his books, you know that if you dive in and get "gazelle intense" about your budget, salon expenses are definitely something to widdle down.  So, I nixed the manicures all together, and have been doing my own pedicures for a few months now.  I bought a pumice stone to remove my heel calluses (works amazing!  Do a little bit every time you shower), and dive in with the pedicures.  I discovered I am not a good nail polisher!  Instead of getting nice sleek pretty nails, it ends up looking like my 3 year old did my nails!  (I love her artistry, but not quite the look I am going for.)  I did find 1 polish that worked ok, OPI's Liquid Sand, but what a pain to take off!  Even after soaking my nails in a non-acetone nail polish remover, I found myself chipping a lot of stuck polish off. 

Enter my friend Claire!  I heard the news that she was starting her own Jamberry Nails business, which gave her some awesome flexibility in her schedule to be able to stay home more to raise her 2 adorable little ones.  (She's also an amazing photographer in the San Diego area - check out her work here.)  What an amazing concept, nail wraps that are easy to apply, last long, look amazing, are non-toxic, & cruelty free!  Plus, they cost a fraction of going to even more reasonably priced salons.  You get a lot of use out of each sheet!
