Let's Talk Make-Up and Jamberry Nails: It's All About Contour and Tru Shine

It's fall and it's all about the contour! There are endless amounts of Instagram, Pintrest, and Youtube tutorials on the art of contouring and the products that everyone from the random teen to the everyday housewife to make-up professionals are doing and using.

      What is contouring? Well to put it simply, it is the art of shading to enhance and define facial features; building up layers upon layers. Good contouring not only erases age but it also blurs imperfections and highlights areas that one wants to stand out. Here are my picks for GREAT contours as voted on by the masses.

        1. Tarte's Park Ave Princess Contour Palette Vol.II is a favorite with Vloggers such as Bunny Myers, Kandee Johnson, and Carly Bybel with its skin flattering shades and peachy pink hue. Tarte's Amazonian clay pigments mean longer lasting, better quality, and overall great performance on most skin types.  

        2. Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette is six shades of contour and highlight that is going to blend seamlessly. There are shades here that are going to compliment just about every complexion with bronzers for that summery glow.

         3. Nyx's Highlight and Contour Pro Palette found at stores like Target give 8 different shades and highlights for a professional look for half the cost. These shades give one enough to play with to achieve the desired effect they are wanting to achieve easily.

            4. MAC Cosmetics is the front runner when it comes to some of the most tried, tested, and approved make-up that is vlogged, blogged, and preferred by make-up artists and celebrities. The MAC Contour Kits are made from the highest quality ingredients and are all prepared for every complexion. Not only is contouring a breeze but their palettes also offer coverage to correct blemishes and other minor imperfections.

The Truth About Tru Shine from Jamberry Nails

    Just introduced from Jamberry: Tru Shine Gel Manicure System. Gel manicures for you, your family, and friends has never been easier or more affordable than with Jamberry Nails Tru Shine System. 

             So what is Tru Shine? Tru Shine is not a lacquer but a gel enamel that uses UV or LED light to cure into a long lasting manicure. Forget all those other products you can find either in beauty supply stores, big box marts, and salons. Tru Shine is made from high quality components and in variety of shades. The Tru Shine, like the lacquer can be used with all of Jamberry's clear wraps for layering. Not convinced yet? Let me break it down for you. 


           The difference between acrylic, polish, and gel manicures is this: 

            Acrylics: Faux nails that use an epoxy like glue; resin that adheres to your natural nail. You can choose between a full nail or just tips. Manicurists file, buff, and sometimes cut away the cuticle to apply these. Acrylics when done properly look beautiful BUT they often need fills (a build up of resin that is buffed to look like part of the acrylic nail that is applied as the nail grows), are pricey, and can cause nail fungus and infections. Unclean utensils can even cause staph infections. 


              Polish and Lacquer: These are the most traditional of manicures. You go in to a salon and a tech or manicurist usually cleans your existing nails and uses either polish or lacquer. Lacquer is thicker than polish but does not require curing nor does polish. These manicures usually last up to a few days before it begins chipping. Jamberry's lacquers are specially formulated to last longer and chip less. 

              Gel: Gel manicures are the latest trend in salons and spas next to Jamberry Wraps. They also give a more natural look than acrylics.Gel Manicures are layered with a special type of lacquer that has to be cured by UV light. These are also the most expensive type of manicures to get, but they do last longer than the above for mentioned with the exception of Jamberry Wraps, which can last up to a month. Gels usually don't chip but the wearer usually has to pay to get them removed, which can also sting the wallet.  


                                         $The Cost$

                  The cost can vary but Acrylics can cost as low as $20 all the way up towards $65 and that is not counting nail art or fill ins. 

                   However, Polish and Lacquer manicures/pedis usually doesn't exceed $30. Every few days to a week can add up though at a salon or spa. 

                  Gel manicures are the most expensive usually starting at $45 and going all the way upwards to nearly $100 not counting nail art or special finishes.
