Wow, what a week! It's hard to explain how wonderful this week has been as we've welcomed our first Team Members from Australia and New Zealand. It's been exceptionally busy as I've sent out welcome packets, worked to answer questions and develop new materials and training programs--but every moment has been so rewarding! I feel like The Universe conspired to bring these wonderful women to our team. It's been like instantly gaining friends as well as team members, as it so often is! Since these friends are on the other side of the world though, there's been a touch of magic about it. What first comes to mind is to say that the world feels smaller--a la Disney's "It's a Small World After All"--but that's not quite right. It's more like I can fully appreciate just how big the world is, but I feel infinitely more connected to it. That may seem a bit grand for "just" adding some international team members to the mix, but it's the truth. I love that when I wake up in the morning my team members in the Southern hemisphere are heading for bed, and I get to talk to them again when they're up and at 'em in our afternoon. It's like we're spreading the Jamberry love in shifts! Even my Facebook feels different when I log in now--a bit more connected to the wider world. I think sharing this opportunity with so many new people is also just really opening my eyes even more to the incredible possibilities that Jamberry allows me to share! If you're still considering joining, please feel free to visit our no-pressure Facebook group or my website for more information! We're starting our first round of trainings on our unique team parties next week--another something to look forward to!
Amidst all of this excitement of course my nails have looked fabulous! I did a new Jamicure while I was up waiting for preparing for prelaunch, featuring two wraps with our new Satin finish! This week's Jamicure is "Broken Arrow" and "Satin Rose Gold Chevron", both
absolutely beautiful wraps. "Broken Arrow" is a not-quite-black, ultra
dark gray, with a chevron pattern that comes through in a varied pattern
throughout the wraps. The chevrons have a gradually changing range of
colors, from pinks, to greens, to yellows and into soft aquas, so each
nail has a bit of a unique look. "Satin Rose Gold Chevron" offers a bolder look, with the contrast of the soft satin rose gold and black chevrons making a statement nail!
I originally got to experience this finish in a Stylebox earlier this year, and I absolutely loved it. The Satin finish is somewhere in-between our matte and metallic finishes, and the result is absolutely stunning. It gives that soft smooth finish of a matte, but with a gorgeous metallic sheen. It almost reminds me of a brushed stainless steel! The satin wraps are thinner than our standard glossy wraps, which means you're going to need less heat when applying them. I generally recommend a complete cold application or my hybrid cold/official application method. That way you can make sure the wrap is exactly where you want it, before applying some brief heat, and then smoothing as you would normally, from the bottom of your nail towards the top, and then up the sides. When you file the excess, you'll find that it removes quickly and easily, so be sure to use gentle pressure with your file. You are going to love the wear on these satin wraps. I've been working on a mixed media piece this week, so this Jamicure has survived not just layers of paint being scrubbed off, but also sticky gel medium being "applied" to them and then scraped and peeled off! I'm always amazed at how my jams survive my messy "arting"! We have a fabulous range of wraps in the Satin finish, so be sure to check one of them out if it sounds like something you'd like to try!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! It's starting to feel more like Fall here and I'm looking forward to a weekend of autumn activities--complete with lots of great nail picture opportunities, of course! Cheers!
