The second reason I chose Color Street is I do feel you can get more Manis and Pedis out of it. The muffin is good, it tastes nice, and is still a treat, but it's not much like the cake at all. It's like replacing chocolate cake with mug cake, vs replacing it with a blueberry muffin.
Color Street is REAL nail polish, so it is a better replacement for a salon manicure. It's hard to say Jamberry does that because their wraps look and feel like plastic. 1- I like that my nails look and feel like a REAL manicure. The reason I chose Color Street has two parts. This was a close call but I gave it to Color Street (in all fairness I gave the last close call to Jamberry). While it is recommended because it makes for a cleaner nicer application, if you don't push back your cuticles your Color Street wrap will still work great! The Jamberry Nail wrap however will damage your cuticle a lot if you do not push it back properly and will often cause premature lifting, so it is a must for Jams and not for CS. I also want to point out why Push Back Cuticle is not a step for Color Street. If you drop Jamberry on your table, hardwood floor or carpet it is a pain to scrape off, and that is not an issue with Color Street. The adhesive is to strong and it will become difficult to remove. On top of Color Street needing 5 less steps than Jamberry, you can't touch the back of Jamberry nail wraps. I am noting the correction due to a lot of feedback, but I am not adjusting the list because it is a minor detail that doesn't effect the outcome of this post. I had been taught to do this, however you do not need to file the nail plate BUT you do need to buff it, which is not currently a step on the list and is not necessary for Color Street. This is my personal opinion and experience.ĮDIT - A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ON MY CASE BECAUSE OF STEP #3 (FILE NAIL PLATE). Color Street takes about 3 seconds to remove, so it's not as big of a problem. However with Jamberry wraps the removal process if long, which causes a lot of people to pick and peel their wraps. You may nick your nail plate, but most often you are just fine.
And if you pick the wraps off you will see it is the same as picking off polish. You also don't have to buff the nail plate at all. With Color Street while it is recommended that you push back the cuticle (because it will look nicer, and your mani will last longer) you will not damage your cuticle if you don't. You also have to buff the nail plate to give the nail grip so the adhesive can hang on, (a lot of people file the nail plate because it makes the wraps last longer, but this is also not recommended). And if you do not push back the cuticle you WILL damage the cuticle. First of all with Jamberry if you pick or peel of your wraps (which is not recommended) you WILL damage the nail, there is no way around it. Where the Color Street options are 100% Nail Polish and do not have any kind of glue-like adhesive and do not require you to file/buff the nail plate.īecause of some controversy I am going to expound on this one a little. Also the strong adhesive on the Jamberry wraps is basically just strong glue that often causes damage when removing. But what is bad? Filing or buffing the nail plate which is a part of applying Jamberry nail wraps. You're probably like "but wait, you just said Color Street had that bad chemical in it, how did it win?" Because TPHP isn't actually bad for your nails at all. Did I forget to mention Jamberry also has a Wonder Woman and Peanuts collection!? Because they do and it is AMAZING! In addition to nail art they also have french tip options, solid colors and glitter shades! I think they have a really solid start as far as designs and I can't wait to see them hone in on more chic looks in the future! I am sure they will collab in the future, they are a baby company after all, but Jamberry has them solidly beat here. They also have a Disney Collection that is super cute, kid's sets, a line that has sports and college logos on them as well as a Design Studio where you can have your own custom wraps made! Color Street has a solid 40 designs to start with including geometric designs, some looks that are bold and bright, some that are sleek and simple, soft and romantic looks and more. I didn't count them all but I would say over a thousand different looks can be found. Jamberry has TONS of designs, I was really impressed. Jamberry has been around for seven years, while Color Street is brand new and has only been in business for a couple of months. Jamberry wins on this one, although that may change in 3 years.
