Nail Deco Of The Week #111 / Free $5 Sephora GC
28 AugSorry I’ve been MIA again! But I’m back with good news!
If you download the app called “Wrapp” in the Andriod or iTunes market you can send send $5-10 giftcards for free!
If you want to send yourself a giftcard, you’ll need to tell your friend to send you one back. 
You can also access your account @ https://www.wrapp.com
The free giftcards should say “FREE” next to them, so make sure you’re selecting the right one!
From my screen I could select from $5 Sephora, $5 Office Depot, $5 Gap, $5 Threadless, $10 Fab.com… those are just to name a few of the companies that I’m familiar with. There are a few more too.
You just show your smartphone to the cashier with the Wrapp app open and they will type in the #’s. You can also use the Sephora code online, but then you’d have to pay shipping for orders under $50.
I popped by my local Sephora @ Santa Monica this weekend and grabbed some Tokidoki stuff on sale!
My boyfriend offered to let me use his GC so I got to use two $5 GC’s that day! Lucky me.
Tokidoki nail stickers +$2.00
Tokidoki nail confetti +$4.00
$5 Wrapp giftcard: -$5.00
Total: $1.56 out of pocket!
Tokidoki eyeshadow in Carnivora: +$6.00
$5 Wrapp giftcard: -$5.00
Total: $1.56 out of pocket!
I believe Tokidoki is doing some kind of clearance on their line at Sephora? The entire section was marked down! I saw some cute brush sets for $14 and mini MU palettes for $4.00 that I kind of regret not buying!
Tokidoki nail confetti – Savana (pink + gold glitter)
Each bottle comes with a small sheet of nail stickers (plastic wrapped to the bottles)!
Tokidoki nail confetti – Savana
China glaze – For Audrey
(Do you like my Marc Jacobs Daisy mini in the background? I LOVE perfume minis! )

I hope the Wrapp app deal works for you all too! 
Nail Deco Of The Week #110 / Review
16 JulJackie of http://www.jackie.jamberrynails.net kindly sent me these designs to try:
Andrea of http://www.LoveUrNails.JamberryNails.com has sent me blue & red fish to try.
For those who have not tried nail stickers before, they are very easy to use! These Jamberry ones require heat to adhere to the nail properly. The consultants explained that using a hair dryer is the quickest and easiest way to do it! So what you do is you blow dry the nail stickers for about 15 seconds and then you apply the stickers to your nail and file away the excess.
Unlike other nail stickers that I’ve tried, these ones do not require a top coat.
It is important to heat up the stickers before you apply them! I only put them under my hairdryer for around 5-7 seconds thinking that it’d be enough but the nail stickers fell off after 1 hour. I tried again for around 10 seconds (I know, I really need to be more patient!) and they started peeling off the very next day.
My most recent attempt followed the instructions correctly (15 seconds under the hairdryer) using these cute chevron stickers that Adriane of http://ajolly.jamberrynails.net sent me.
The application was smoother, but still some very tiny parts that I couldn’t even out. There was still tip wear after a day for me. Does this happen to anyone else? I don’t know if it’s due to the curvature of my nail or whatever? I should also mention that I hand wash dishes!
OVERALL:
Pros: Fun designs, quick, easy, does not harm the nails, easy removal (peels off)
Cons: Does not last that long, many size options but nothing fits my thumb perfectly (to be fair, nail stickers pretty much never fit my nails perfectly)
Summary: I did not like using these as stickers for my entire nail. I find that they start to wear off at the tips too quickly. I’d use them for half or part of my nails though! Maybe by cutting out a stripes or something. They stick on pretty well, just not at the tips. There are also a huge selection of designs to choose from. If you’re interested, contact the ladies listed above!
