Bright Eyes

These Bright Eye Skinnies are currently on sale at Jamberry!  This was my first time using Skinnies on my fingers, and, as you can probably tell, I had a little trouble, especially with the solid ones.  The no-heat is very nice, but these are still thicker than other no-heat nail strips.  I'll need to play around with them a little more to figure out the best application.

Affiliate Post: Toe Post: Seashell Stripes

BellaHoot's (clicking will take you to my affiliate link) newest line is Polish Strip Minis.  These narrower and shorter wraps are perfect for pedicures or for little fingers (not recommended for children under 3).  They go on just as easy as our regular polish strips, and can last even longer when worn as a pedi depending on how hard you are on your toenails.

Swiss Dots Powder Blue & Poppy

This is a retired Jamberry wrap, but it was so popular, it was brought back, then retired again.  The powder blue is a little lighter than I would normally wear, but it makes my hands look really tan.  I did have better success than previously with glossy wraps, but still some noticeable wrinkles on my curvy nails.

Never Land

These Never Land strips were one of Espionage Cosmetics's Nexus Booster Packs.  These are exclusive wraps that you can add on to your Nexus subscription, and once that month is over, you cannot order them, but you may find one in a mystery pack.  That is how I obtained mine.

Midnight in Manhattan

I am not the biggest fan of black nail polish, but I absolutely adore this mani!  The black is Midnight in Manhattan by Color Street topped with Essie's Clearly Matte topcoat.  It give it a blackboard look.  The pink accent is Miami Beach, also from Color Street, topped with White Romance, a retired sheer wrap from Jamberry.  To me, this mani looks like a modern take on 80s rocker chic.  If you are in need of a Color Street or Jamberry rep, please comment below and I'll hook you up with some great ones.

Cut Loose

I had received these two wraps in a swap, so both are retired.  Neither one were my favorites, but I think they work well together.  Very summery.  I did, though, have trouble with Cut Loose wanting to apply smoothly, and I am not sure why.  I had no trouble with Guacamole, and they are both glossy finish.  While these two wraps are no longer available, Jamberry does have some fun current wraps that are great for summer nails.

Affiliate Post: Vinyl Sheer GeoNETric

As I mentioned in my last post, BellaHoot (clicking will take you to my affiliate link) now has four different lines of nail strips.  Our second line to be introduced was a no-heat vinyl.  As you may have guessed from other of my reviews, I am a fan of the major vinyl company, and have tried some of their no-heat strips.  I have to say, I am so far liking the BellaHoot ones better.  Aside from a little trouble getting the backing off, these went on lickety-split and have now lasted perfectly through a day of scrubbing the kitchen.  Now, I do still have some Jamberry one with these; the polish I used underneath is their High Noon lacquer.
