Do they have French or some more muted colors? I can't have wild nails, would not fly...

Tons of more muted ones are available and French. Make sure to order the right french ones, though. I made the mistake of ordering the medium ones and thee whites started halfway down my nails. Not a good look. The long ones aren't even long enough for me. I apparently have super long nail beds.
MrsSz - do you still have samples? I'd be curious to try them!

I think I'm incapable of applying Jamberry correctly. They don't stay on well for me. Maybe by nails are too curved? Bums me out because they're soooo cute.
When I used the "hot" application, mine did, too (where you hear the Jam and then apply it to the nail). I think it took me too long to place the Jam and the glue cooled back down.
I've had my current set on for nearly 2 weeks. Here's what I do:
Push back/trim cuticles
Wipe entire nail off with alcohol (I do one hand at a time)
Place the Jam on my nail (trimmed a bit, but not to much)
Hit it with the blow drier - I apply heat until the end hanging off starts to curl
Rub the shit out of the nail - both on top and over the front
File the front in a downward motion.
