It has been over a week that I have adorned these colorful, Jamberry Nail wraps on my fingers. I have done my very best to document certain activities that I’m currently involved in and how the nail wraps have held up. Of course there are a number of other daily rituals in which I didn’t document for fear of it being boring and mundane; washing of hands, washing clothes, washing children, prepping children for going out, cooking, doing dishes, feeding and care of the dogs, picking up clothes, folding clothes, etc. I think these nail wraps have held up really well for my lifestyle. Only a couple of the wraps would seem like they needed a little attention now and then and I would handle it by smoothing down whatever edge may be trying to release itself.

On day 8, I decided to give these jewels the BIG test! I was attempting to mortar wash the brick wall in my sunroom. This technique involved masonry brick mortar, sand, water and a LOT of elbow grease (I’m putting together a step by step post on how to do this-so if you are interested, be looking for it soon). I knew this would be hard on my hands and I wouldn’t even attempt this project if I had just had my nails done at a salon. But, since this was day 8, I was ready!


I only took off the Jamberry Nail wraps that were hanging on by a thread. I was curious how much longer the others would stay on. You’ll have to wait and see, just like me :>)
