Get Your Nail Freak On!

An Honest Review of Jamberry Trushine Gel Manicure Kit 

Are you a nail freak like me? I love doing my nails. Correction- I love perfectly manicured nails.  Yep! That's me! Obsessed. Back in the day, I always did my nails. I was a diy-er. I began at a very young age too! I felt like I was ALWAYS doing my nails because they would chip every few days. So, as I got older, I decided to go to the salon for gel nails. Yes, more expensive but the professional look was exactly what I wanted and loved. Now today, they have many gel kits where you can diy in your own home. So I  am back to being a diy nail junky. 

Who am I? 

I am an independent consultant for Jamberry Nails. I actually donate all my net proceeds (commissions) to the charity of the hostess's choice. So I have nothing to gain from this review or analysis. Except charitable donations. I personally do not make anything from Jamberry because I donate my commissions.  To date, I have donated through FB Jamberry parties $1,000 to Parkinson's Research. :) 

Trushine Review

I was actually a little skeptical when a new gel kit from Jamberry came out. It's called Trushine. Jamberry's flagship products are nail wraps. Just so you know, I love the Trushine and I love the nail wraps with my gel manicure! Here is a picture of day 1 and day 14 with my Trushine gel manicure and a Jamberry nail wrap. Impressive, right?

Jamberry Trushine

Pros:

• Quick -15-20 minutes
• Easy - paint and cure
• Professional looking
• Shiny
• No dry time
• Durable -lasts for 2 weeks with no chipping
• Easy removal
• Doesn't damage nails
• 5 free formula- free of harmful carcinogens found in other nail polishes and lacquers on the market
• Does not use a uv light that can cause cancer. Uses a led light. 

Cons

• $120 for the kit (It is less expensive if host a party)
• $20-$24 for additional gel lacquers

Cost Analysis
So, do the pros out-way the cons? I will be honest,  I actually had a hard time swallowing the initial cost for a starter kit. Because I am a consultant, I did get it cheaper. So, I did an analysis of how much it costs per gel manicure for a Sally Hanson Miracle Gel kit, a salon gel manicure and a Trushine Jamberry gel manicure. Take a look.

As you can see from this chart, Jamberry is not the cheapest for gel manicures, but it's also not the most expensive.  I think the market Jamberry is going after are the avid diy nail women who want perfect nails and will spend a little more than a drug store manicure.  Let's face it, drug store manicures may last a week before it chips. So that means you are doing your nails more often.  I am Jamberry's  target market. I love perfect nails and I don't want to spend a lot at a salon.  Plus, in all honesty, salons kinda gross me out.  

Summary
So, in summary, the outright initial purchase of Trushine may be a little expensive and hard to justify at first. However,  I hope I just showed you from my picture, chart and all the pros that it's worth the money! Trushine is a long lasting, professional looking gel manicure!
