Jamberry Eerie Nights

Happy All Hallow's Eve everyone!
Well technically it is tomorrow but I will be busy doing my boyfriend's makeup as well as my own for a Halloween party Saturday so I won't be getting a post up that day.  Look forward to our costume looks though! I'm going to be a vampire and him Darth Maul.

Anyway what I do have for you today are my Halloween nails!  
I have been waiting to break out these babies for weeks!!

Jamberry currently has some limited edition Halloween themed wraps.  Many of them I would wear year round so I'm bummed they only last until January. Oh well.

Here is Eerie Nights.



Unfortunately the finish makes these difficult to get a good picture of but I really love the art on these wraps.  It is a nice mix of eerie and beautiful.  The graveyard scene is really lovely and quite unique in my opinion.  These are also in a new finish: satin.  So the good thing about these wraps is definitely the art work.  I got quite a few compliments on my nails from my students today.  Like how many other people are going to have a graveyard scene on their nails? Not many, so it really is a creepy and interesting design.  The bad would definitely be the satin finish.  First of all I had a lot of trouble getting these on.  They are so thin they wrinkle so much as soon as heat is applied.  I never have any bubbles on the tips of my nails but 24 hours after applying these I had one on almost every finger.  Also I would not consider these satin.  I thought satin meant a mix of matte and glossy however I feel like these are even more shiny than usual.  The extreme shine unfortunately detracts from the design.  It makes it hard to see the details of the art when most angles the wrap is just a glare.  I think it would have worked out much better to make this a mixed finish wrap with the headstones being matte and the sky being satin.  That way the black would have stood out a lot better from the yellowish blue sky.  

Besides my little quip with the finish I think these nails are really awesome and I can't wait to wear my other two Halloween wraps!

Jamberry Fall 2015 Catalog

So the new Jamberry catalog is out featuring some new wraps and holiday exclusives!!

I have been looking forward to this release all of August so I thought it would be fun to discuss which of the new wraps are my favorites and why!

Let's start with the new holiday wraps.


Holiday


Double Trouble

Oh. My. God. OMG. These are perfect and they are everything and I need like 3 sheets.  SO ADORABLE.  I screamed when I saw these and can't wait to see what they look like on the nails. I especially love these because I think they look like Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service.


These wraps are a must have for me. Meow.


Eerie Nights


I think the art on these is really really awesome but I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to be getting them yet because unlike Double Trouble they aren't really wearable outside the holiday season.  I think I'm going to wait to see them on nails before I make a decision.  If they look ridiculously amazing when worn then I'll probably pick them up.


 Faux Fox


This is another incredibly adorable wrap.  I am 95% sure I will be getting this one.  I have an order on the way with Sly As a Fox in it because I really wanted fox nails but they only made them in juniors.....well now I can put foxes on my fingernails AND my toenails!!! Yay!!


Tannenbaum


This is the only Christmas themed one I'm considering, because even without a Christmas label to it I think it s a pretty cute design.  I love the silver, grey and red combo and can't wait to see this on some nails.   I think the design is interesting and could be worn for Christmas and beyond, which makes this festive and practical!


So those are all the Holiday wraps (available until January) that I am thinking about picking up at some point this season. Next I'm going to talk about my favorite new additions to the regular catalog!


New Fall 2015 Additions


Broken Arrow


This wrap seriously intrigues me..... If you look at the full sheet it is a grey base with a rainbow of metallic color in a broken zig zag pattern.  This wrap looks like it has the potential to be very beautiful and very unique.


Only downside is that I'm not crazy about the gold and orange accent pieces, but the overall presentation might be awesome enough to overcome this personal qualm.


Moab


I'm not sure if I will like how this will look on nails but for some reason my eyes keep coming back to this wrap.  The gorgeous deep pink mixed with the sky blue is such a lovely combo.  The design and color of this wrap is really neat but I will definitely have to see it modeled on some nails before I make a purchase decision.


Ribbon Dance


The colors of this wrap are right up my alley.  This is definitely a great anytime anywhere casual wrap for me!  Very excited to try this one!


Dusty Rose


I loved this one the moment I saw it!  I was really excited to see what new florals the new catalog would bring and this definitely takes the cake!  I love the soft pink on the grey.  Its bold yet classy, I will definitely be needing this.


Ombre Lotus



This is another wrap that I think looks like it could be really pretty but I'll need to see it on some nails before I make a final purchase decision.  I love the purple fade and the petal design though and I'm really hoping I'll like this one in action!


Renaissance


Not yet sure how I feel about this one but it reminds me of stained glass and could be very beautiful as an accent nail.  I think it will be a bit much for me to do a full manicure of this one but I am definitely intrigued by this design. This wrap is also under the sports section, which doesn't really make sense to me but oh well.  What isn't in the sports section that I was hoping to see was a weight lifting themed wrap! I totally wanna wear dumbbells on my nails while lifting! :P


Anyway, overall I am super excited about this new catalog and how awesome my nails are going to look this year! 

Which are your favorites??



UPDATE!!!!


I found Faux Fox and Double Trouble on nails and I am so in love I can't even!
