What Colors Are This Wrap?

Metallic Gold Pinstripe (or maybe we should call it Blue and Black Pinstripe instead...)
Guys please help me - is this wrap white and gold, or blue and black?  Me and my friends can't agree and we are freaking out!

Ha Ha!  By now, unless you've been living under a rock, you've seen this picture and debated with everyone you know over the color of THE DRESS:

No matter what I do, I only see this dress as white and gold (and therefore, that Metallic Gold Pinstripe wrap would actually look quite nice with it)!  But between everyone I know weighing in on the issue, it's split pretty 50/50 (with a few special snowflakes, like my husband, who see blue and brown...).

For the record, it really is blue and black - here's the same dress that was pictured above, shown in different light later in the night:

Hard to argue with that I guess.  But the rate at which this dress blew up the internet yesterday (totally overshadowing those silly llamas and net neutrality), I thought it would be fun to take advantage and do some wrap pairings!

So if the dress is white and gold - what would you pair it with?  Here are some of my suggestions:
Gold SparkleGold CrissCrossMetallic Gold PinstripeGold Leopard Tip

If the dress is blue and black - what would you pair it with?  Here are my thoughts:
Spotted, Black Lace, Berry Blue Tip, Victorian Lace

And what about if the dress wasn't white and gold OR blue and black?  What if it was red?  or white?  or peach?
Rose Gold Sparkle, Black Lace, Fire Engine, Victorian Lace, Flourish, Black Tip, Berry Blue, Lace Noir

If you've totally fallen in love with this dress by Roman Originals as a result of all this hubbub (seriously, I need it now...just need to decide which color...I wish it came in white and gold!), you can get it here!



And after all that - this is all I can think of!
"Blue!" "No, Pink!" "Blue!" "PINK!" "BLUE!"

My Oscar Dream Dress & #SipsAndTips Update!

OK - I'm a little bit of a slacker - I totally forgot to post this on Sunday.  But better late than never right?!

Part 1: Oscar Dream Outfit
I was watching the Oscars Red Carpet special, looking at all those fabulous gowns, and trying to decide what Jams I would have paired with each one.  So many great choices!  Then I got inspired to put together my own dream Oscars outfit - complete with accessories!

Dress - Carmen Marc Valvo, Shoes - Christian Louboutin, Clutch - Christian Louboutin
Nails - Venus, Luna, Sweet Symphony
What do you think?  Would you pair any other wraps with that dress?  What would you wear?

Part 2: Sips and Tips Update

I finally redid my nails.  I'm currently rocking Soiree and Glam, which were the basis and inspiration for my #SipsAndTips entry (see original post).

I'm ready to enjoy a cold one to celebrate the start of #springtraining. I'm loving how perfectly my nails represent my @tigers with a little extra sparkle for our upcoming #worldseries win...obvi! Hopefully@jamberrynails and @stylebistro also love my#SipsAndTips because that garden party prize pack would be great for an #OpeningDay get together!

Jamberry Love Spell featured in Us Weekly!

Us Weekly put together a list of their favorite Valentine's Day themed manis and our very own Love Spell was featured at number 5!


It's pretty clear that Us Weekly has never actually used Jamberry nail wraps (they call them "decals"...yuck" and offer a pro-tip to use a gel top coat to help them stay in place...um...they'll stay in place for 2 weeks without gel, thankyouverymuch!) but just to be featured among other top of line nail art products is SUCH an honor!

Check out the article here.

Love Spell was introduced as a special design earlier this year and has been sitting atop our best seller list ever since!  You can pick up this and all our special holiday designs at my website!

Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Jamming!

Jamberry Nails Announces Support of the Go Red For Women® Red Dress Collection During New York Fashion Week in February 2015


It’s not often that you see an item going down the runway at New York Fashion Week that women can buy that very moment and, better yet, give to a good cause by doing so. Jamberry Nails is proud to announce its support of the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women® Red Dress Collection runway show this February at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, as top designers and celebrities take to the runway in red gowns to support women’s heart health. One in three women will die from heart disease and stroke, yet 80 percent of it is preventable.

The women walking in the show will be wearing Jamberry’s Heart Health Awareness nail wraps, of which $2 of every $15 sheet sold is donated directly to the American Heart Association to help combat this largely silent, but preventable, killer. The nail wraps are available for purchase through April 30, 2015 at JamberryNails.com and through Jamberry’s network of independent consultants. 

Since its founding in 2010, Jamberry has been committed to charitable giving through monetary donations, employee volunteer days, and specially designed nail wraps that raise funds and awareness for special causes.

 “An estimated 43 million women in the US are affected by heart disease. Raising awareness for women’s heart health through the design and sale of our Heart Health Awareness nail wraps is very important to us. We are honored to give our consultants and other women across the country the opportunity to raise awareness of, and contribute money to, this very important cause,” says Keri Evans, one of the three sisters who founded Jamberry.

 The Go Red For Women® Red Dress Collection will take place on February 12, 2015 at 8:00pm at Lincoln Center. It will be livestreamed on GoRedForWomen.org.

Jamberry is donating $2 from the sale of every Heart Health Awareness wrap to the American Heart Association.  I am personally donating an additional $3 per wrap out of my commission.  Purchase yours here!
