What is Jamberry Nail Lacquer?

Have you wondered about our nail laquer? Did you even know we had nail lacquer?  Well we do! 

Here are some common questions and answers from Jamberry


What's the difference between lacquer and polish? Lacquer is a way to define a high-end, salon quality polish.


Is it chip resistant? How long will it/should it last? As with any product, different people will have different experiences. No matter the quality of ingredients and formula used, some people may experience chipping or other issues. Jamberry did extensive research to make sure the quality of our lacquer was the highest we could produce and we are very proud of the finished product. In blind tests Jamberry lacquers performance either tied or outscored the competition in all categories from ease of application to durability. It held up extremely well in the testing process and had a higher chip resistance compared to other professional quality lacquers. However, there are always exceptions to the rule. Application error, body chemistry, how active you are with your nails, environmental factors, etc. can affect how well the lacquers perform.


Why is $15 for Jamberry nail lacquer a value? Over the past few years, many polish companies are changing over to be “3-free” formulas that omit harmful dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, and formaldehyde substances. Jamberry has taken it to the next step of being 5-free, which are made without formaldehyde resin and camphor . Our nail lacquer compares to the $20-$40 bottles of professional nail lacquer on the market. Premium products cost more to produce than products with harmful ingredients. Formaldehyde resin is a skin allergen and can remain active for up to three days after your polish has dried. Camphor exposure, especially through inhalation, can be toxic and cause irritation, nausea, dizziness, and headaches.
