No More – Jamberry Support’s the Fight Against Domestic Violence
NO MORE – it’s subtle but it’s clear. It’s a statement. It’s a mission.
This month, Jamberry are helping to raise awareness and money for the charity Fight Against Domestic Violence and you can help them too.
For every wrap set purchased £2.50 will automatically go to the charity, what is unique about Fight Against Domestic Violence, is that as an organisation, they raise money to support smaller local groups that provide the practical help needed by women escaping abuse. This means that when you buy a wrap set from this NO MORE collection you are contributing towards refuge, shelters, victims and survivors in your locality.
The other way you can help by buying these wraps is to talk about them to everyone you meet. My customers often report back to me that Jamberry wraps act as a conversation starter, your nails look so unique and vibrant that they just attract attention. If you are wearing the NO MORE range then this is the perfect opportunity to highlight such an important issue. Tell your nail admirers what the wraps represent and tell them how they could purchase them too so they can also show support to such a worthy and underfunded cause.
