Nail-Biting Stories

Finding an artifact for the letter "N" was no easy task since I wrote of notebooks in my "J" blog for journals, but then, a novel idea came to me (with the help of my librarian friend Cari Young). Why not have fun with my favorite nail wraps (fingernail wraps) and storytelling? Cari introduced these nail wraps to many of us in education and friends on facebook and we are hooked! Jamberry Nails were meant for us storytellers, writers, anyone with personality but no time for manicures/pedicures - mix and match these wraps on your fingers and your toes and you're ready for your themed gigs! (Apologizing for all the male readers out there but the storytelling activity is fun for all!)

Activity: Below you'll find an array of various storytelling nail wraps. Choose any 4 nail wrap pictures in a row and create a story. I "mustache" you to have fun and create your own tale. (the mustache is my favorite right now)

Here's some pictures of my friends' creations made from some of these whimsical Jamberry Nail Wraps. If you're interested in purchasing, please visit Cari Young's website. Cari is a fantastic elementary school librarian as you can see from her library website! The kids (preK - college) LOVE these nails. Wouldn't it be cool if we had a story to go with them?!

I've included a video sharing how easy it is to apply the nail wraps. The wraps cost $15.00 a set (enough for 3 manicures)

Very clever. My nails are horrendous. Too much working in the garden. These are very cute.

Thanks for visiting The Busy Mom's Daily.

I am not in the least into decorating my nails (just keep 'em short and outta my way!), but I enjoy design and whimsy and creativity - which I find in your blog today! :-)

How long do they last? I have horrible nails...they simply will not grow. I did the gel polish for awhile which lasts close to 3 wks, but that got to be hard on my nails, so stopped...back to looking bad.

By the way, if you use the name and url option in the drop down box you don't have top leave a cut and paste of your url. Then anyone visiting you can simply click on it instead of getting rid of their url on their bulletin board adding yours, then deleting yours to add theirs so they can continue to visit blogs. That way it's a live link.

Hi Sandy, The nail wraps last (for me) for about 10 days. The company says up to 2 weeks. I do take showers, swim, etc. and the wraps stay on well!

Meant to say, happy to help you with it if you have questions....the name and url drop down works just like what you have here, where I put my url in the space and you have a live link.

Thank you Sandy for your tip. I'm definitely new to blogging and am learning along the way. Sounds obvious now:) Thanks mucho!
