Jelly Sandwich

Good evening! Excuse my being missing for a day or so. I received some crazy news about my family blood line and medical history, and it has been a little unsettling.

I have been seeing Jelly Sandwiches every where! I have never tried one, so I thought, why not? I don't have many jellies, or at least I don't think I have many...so I wasn't sure which polishes to use. I decided to go with hot pinks and multicolored glitter. Here's how it turned out.

Not too shabby for my first Sandwich. I do feel a little bit like a 12 year old again, with the multicolored glitter. But I actually really like it.

I used:
1 coat Sally Hansen's Double Duty base coat
1 coat Orly's base coat
1 coat Sally Girl crazy hot pink that doesn't have a name
1 coat Nicole Rainbow in the S-Kylie
1 coat Wet n Wild How I Met Your Magenta
1 coat Orly's No Chip top coat

These photos are both done inside with the flash. I really do like how the glitter looks as if it is just suspended in the polish. I also like how it dulls down the crazy colors in the glitter polish. I just feel like it is a little too young for my almost 26 year old hands.

The Sally Girl application was great. It is sheer, so it would take a few coats to become opaque. I used this color as the base of this manicure. It is CRAZY bright! Which I LOOOOVE.
The Rainbow in the S-Kylie was a bit hard to apply. I felt like I couldn't control the glitter. I have been having problems with glitter recently. Maybe I need to take a day and just play with glitter to get it to apply in a decent manner.

I really am enjoying the look of the jelly sandwich. I am going to play with my polish tonight and create lots and lots of jelly sandwiches! Lol. I can't wait!

What do you all think of this combo? Would you wear it? Should I try the glitter polish with a different color?? What color??

Until next time...

How I Met Your Magenta & The Wonder Yellows

Good evening all! I have the last two swatches to the Wet n Wild Summer Getaway collection!

We've got The Wonder Yellows on the left and How I Met Your Magenta on the right.

These are some BRIGHT colors! Who doesn't LOVE bright summery colors??? I know I love them, mainly because they tend to make my skin look a lot more tan than it actually is!

First, The Wonder Yellows:
This is a frosty shimmery yellow. Very very sheer. I have two coats shown above, and you can still see visible free edge. I think a third coat would opaque this polish up! It applied beautifully! And the yellow shimmer is such a good color. It isn't as bright as the pink, so I wouldn't call it neon, but it is a sunshine yellow that will brighten up any day! :)

Next, How I Met Your Magenta:
This is a jelly HOT pink. It is really really bright. It has shimmer, but it isn't as shimmery as the yellow. It applied ok. It felt a bit goopy for me. Again, another sheer polish. This is two coats, above, and you can see the free edge. And again, I think a third coat would have done the trick. I'm not sure what type of finish this has. It isn't matte, but it isn't super glossy. Maybe satin? It was odd. But a top coat would shine this baby up just fine!

Here's what I did for both colors:
1 coat Sally Hansen's Double Duty base coat
1 coat Orly's base coat
2 coats of polish
No top coat.

All in all, I do like this polish line. I can see myself wearing Buffy the Vampire Slayer, How I Met Your Magenta, 9.0.2.1.Orange, and MAYYYYYBE The Wonder Yellows again. I will probably use Sage in the City as an accent color in some designs, and I really don't know if I will ever wear Fuchsiarama again. The formula was just too weird for me.

I think this collection was worth the $3.99 I spent on it. But I don't think I would have paid more.

What do you all think about these final colors? Would you wear them? I kinda like them together!

Until next time....
