How to Save Money on Your Nails

Happy 2015, everyone! The new year always brings with it new opportunities and the motivation to try new things; maybe it’s a new hairstyle or trying a new beauty routine. This year, why not try something in your beauty routine that will save you money without sacrificing the cute factor?

Recently, one of my Jamberry team members worked out exactly how much she was saving annually by using Jamberry Nail Wraps. Below are the comparisons and a total of the savings (costs used are approximate)

Toes at a salon:
7 times a year at $30 each time = $210 a year in cost
took 45 mins start to finish just in salon (not counting travel time)
7 x 45 mins = 5 hours and 15 minutes a year

Toes with Jamberry:
7 times a year at $4 each time = $28 a year in cost
10 mins start to finish (no travel +required)
1 hour & 10 minutes a year

Nails at a salon:
18 times a year (every 3 weeks) at $30 each time = $540 a year in cost
took 1 hour start to finish (not counting travel time)
18 x 1 = 18 hours a year

Nails with Jamberry:
26 times a year (every 2 weeks) at $4 each time = $104 a year in cost
15 mins start to finish (no travel time required)
6 hours and 30 minutes

Total savings:
Money saved with Jamberry – toes $182 – nails $436 grand total = $618 a year
Time saved with Jamberry – toes 4 hours & 5 min – nails 11 hours & 30 mins
Grand total = 15 hours & 35 minutes

See? Making a simple switch from the salon to using Jamberry saves you over $600 in a year and almost 16 hours of your time.

What could you do this year with all that extra time and money?

Full Training and Support:

When choosing a direct sales company to join, you need to take the first step—finding a sponsor. My main goal is to adhere to Jamberry Nails' mission and help women feel beautiful and achieve financial freedom.  I'm committed to help you rise to the top and achieve your financial goals and aspirations.  When you achieve, we all achieve and when you need a “pick me up” we all are here to do just that. You will not be left alone or in this business by yourself, no matter how well you’re doing. Commitment is what you should expect and what you’ll receive. No more feeling like your just another number or forgotten in the mist. It’s time to be part of a team where YOU matter!

Assistance in achieving your goals:  Whether it’s reaching a certain rank, increase sales, personal development etc. you’ll be given assistance and a plan of action to strive to achieve them. Everyone needs to have a “why.” Why are you doing this business? Why do you want to succeed? It can be because you’re in debt, you want to support your children, inspire other women, be a part of a movement, go to college or just to make more money. When that’s established, you’ll have a clear understanding on what you want to strive for.

Exclusive Training:  Once you become a Jamberry Nails Independent Consultant, you’ll automatically receive training from the corporation. However, as a team member on my team, the training and help doesn’t end there. You’ll receive additional training and marketing tips in social media, article marketing, direct marketing, forum marketing, video marketing, relationship building and so much more. Those are just some examples that my team members will get access to for FREE. You’ll learn exactly what I do to have a successful Jamberry Nails business so you can do the same.

All these are just tools, tips and strategies to get your business going and making money fast! You may not need all the support but its here for you to take advantage, no matter if you’re new to a home-based business or a seasoned veteran. Now for some of you, all this support may seem a lot and you don't know where to start. Think of it this way... Would you rather know you have many support channels compared to no support at all? The number one reason that Consultants leave a company is lack of support from their Sponsor. I can assure you, that won't happen with me and my team. I’m committed to YOU and your success because when you succeed, I succeed. But you have to let me know what you need in order for me to help you and be coachable to the support that’s offered.

Product Comparison: Jamberry Nails vs. You Nailed It

Over the past few weeks we've been seeing ads all over Facebook for a new nail wrap business - You Nailed It.  Of course, as an Independent Jamberry Nails consultant my customers are very curious as to how competitor products stack up against Jamberry nail wraps, so decided I would do a comparison. This is strictly a comparison of two similar products.

According to the You Nailed It website, the wraps do not need any heat to apply (Jamberry wraps do require heat for a good bond to the nail) and, like Jamberry nail wraps, they last up to 2 weeks.  The price for the You Nailed It wraps vary anywhere between $10-$15 US depending on the design.  The selection of designs is not as extensive as Jamberry, with a lot of the designs being marketed to the "nerd" crowd.

I purchased a sheet of wraps from the You Nailed It website on August 2nd with my order total being $17.99 USD ($12 for the wraps and $5.99 for shipping).   On August 4th, I received an email that my wraps had been shipped - although no tracking info was provided.

I received the wraps today - August 12th. They were shipped from Florida to Canada - the cost of the actual shipping was $1.15.

Upon opening the envelope, the first thing I noticed was there were no instructions included.  The packaging of the wraps is just a clear cellophane sleeve.  There are 20 wraps of various sizes on a white sheet.

The only thing included in the envelope was the shipping invoice ... no application instructions ... no indication of what company the wraps were from on the packaging ...

Of course I had to compare them to the Jamberry nail wrap sheet, and the first thing I noticed is that each wrap is about 3/4 of the size of a Jamberry wrap

There are more wraps per sheet included on the You Nailed It sheet (20 vs 18), however, seeing that they are smaller than the Jamberry wraps, you aren't getting any more product with You Nailed It.

To properly do a comparison, I decided to do my manicure using both the Jamberry and You Nailed It Wraps.  After applying my Jamberry wraps according to the official Jamberry Nails Instructions, I chose a wrap from the You Nailed It sheet to fit my ring finger on both hands as an accent nail.   The You Nailed It wraps come with a clear sheet covering the top of the wraps, which in my opinion is unnecessary.

As there were no applications instructions included, I ended up going to the You Nailed It website to find the correct way to apply the wraps.

I proceeded to try and find the wrap that best fit my nail, however, this proved to be a bit difficult due to the white backing.  I ended up having to use the Jamberry Nail wrap size I usually use for that finger as a guide to which wrap would be the best fit.

Next problem I encountered was that it was extremely hard to find the edge of the You Nailed It wrap to remove it from the backing.  I ended up having to use an exacto knife to find the edge.

When removing the wrap from the backing, I noticed is that the wraps are very flimsy and thin.

I proceeded to apply the wrap to my nail.  My first attempt at placement was a bit off, so when I lifted the wrap, it detached very easily - almost too easy.  Once the placement was OK, I smoothed the wrap to my nail using my thumb pressing from cuticle to edge.  To make sure all wrinkles and bubbles were out of the wrap, I pulled gently on the edge of the wrap and to my surprise, about 1/2 of the excess came detached - which shows how thin the wraps actually are.

As per the instructions, I took the nail file and filed the remaining excess - which took no time at all and reminded me of how easily the Sally Hansen wraps are to file.

The instructions say that for a longer lasting manicure, to follow with an application of clear polish.  I chose not to do this to truly see how long they last compared to Jamberry (Jamberry nail wraps do not require a top coat to prolong the wear).

This is the finished manicure.  In this picture you can see a thin white line around the outside of the You Nailed It wrap on my ring finger - this is how the wrap came off the backing sheet.

Following is usage of each of the wraps used in this manicure.  With the You Nailed It wraps, you need one wrap for each finger instead of being able to use one wrap for 2 fingers with Jamberry.

The longest I've worn my Jamberry wraps is 16 days with  some tip wear and nail growth at the cuticle. I admit, I am very hard on my nails, so am looking forward to seeing how the You Nailed It wraps hold up against Jamberry.  Will keep you all posted.

Oh I should mention - the You Nailed It wraps are made in China.  Jamberry are made in the US.

TTFN,
Bonny

UPDATE:  Well, just over 6 hours since I applied the wraps and I can already see the You Nailed It wraps are not fairing well.  After doing the dishes and cleaning the bathrooms early this evening, the two nails with the You Nailed it wraps are already chipping and coming off - they are actually wrinkling right on my nails.  I doubt they will still be on by morning

FURTHER UPDATE:   After my shower this morning, sadly, both You Nailed It wraps had completely fallen off my nails

First Impression - Stylebox by Jamberry

When I heard that Jamberry Nails were launching a monthly subscription service starting August 1st, I was extremely excited.  I have subscribed to a number of monthly beauty boxes in one form or another over the past couple years and thoroughly enjoyed receiving them and the surprises they contained. Now, just to clarify, I am not one to get excited over nail polish, as when it comes to polishing my nails I have two left thumbs so to speak and ultimately always make a mess, not to mention being extremely impatient when it comes to the polish drying.

I excitedly signed up for my Stylebox when I was able.  The only thing I didn't like is that you have no other option but to purchase either a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription - they do not offer a month to month subscription up front.  Upon completion of your initial subscription time period, the subscription does revert to a month to month payment of $25 USD/$32 CAD.

I received my notification on August 8th that my first Stylebox had shipped (marketing material indicated the first box would ship August 5th).  Shipping is free with the subscription, so I was anxious to see how quickly the box arrived.   Imagine my surprise when UPS dropped off the Stylebox late that same afternoon.

Upon opening the box, you are greeted by a "style card" and the contents wrapped in tissue paper

The contents of the box are supposed to be a wrap from the current catalog, a wrap exclusive to Stylebox subscribers, a nail file and orange stick.  Value of the contents is a minimum of $34.

Upon opening the tissue, you are greeted by the contents

Ummm ... something is missing ... was there not supposed to be a nail file included in the box?

Now to most people, a nail file isn't a big deal, however, as a Jamberry Consultant, I would expect my customers to receive everything they signed up to receive, so promptly sent off an email to Jamberry Support to let them know.

Overall, I am happy with my Stylebox ... I did know ahead of time what was going to be included in the first box, however with subsequent boxes, I don't believe even consultants will know what they are getting (unless they stalk FB or Youtube unboxings) ...

Hopefully next month I'll get my nail file ....

If you are interested in signing up for Stylebox by Jamberry - head on over to my website http://BetterthanPolish.ca ... there are three subscription options, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month. Hopefully Jamberry will also begin offering month to month subscriptions in the near future.
