Hi Annie,
I’ve used jamberry for over a year now and I really can’t emphasize enough the importance of removal technique. The best way I’ve found is to soak it in acetone, scrape the disintegrated wrap off with an orange stick, wipe and immediately dip into coconut oil. My nails look and feel great after this.
I also periodically put the strengthening coat on and sometimes give my nails a few naked days too. 🙂
Also nail oil. It’s so important to keep the cuticles hydrated.
I have very weak nails. Not everyone needs that much TLC for their nails, but that works for me.

Hi Lauren, when I damaged my nails with improper removal coconut oil / and or cuticle oil did help heal them.
What I’ve learned along the way is that it’s important to soak them in standard polish remover until they begin to disintegrate (it doesn’t take long). The edges curl, the top layer begins to separate and it seems like you are gently pushing a gel off. I then gently separate them from the nail bed with an orange stick or cuticle pusher, but I never peel, even after soaking in remover.
The wraps do protect my weak nails, especially when I do the removal properly. My nails don’t rip or break like they used to. When I need an extra boost I use the Jamberry nail strengthener base coat w horsetail extract. It’s great stuff and you can wear wraps on top of it.
