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...

Dreamy

Hello all! :D I did a fabulous manicure today! I am so in love with it! I have done a similar manicure to this before, but I just LOVE this color, I had to do it again.

Here is what I used as the base. Three coats of the Sally Girl polish. And a coat of Pure Ice Dreamy. What I did differently was I added a coat of Essie's Shine of the Times. Of course, as usual, I used my Orly base coat and my Seche Vite top coat. If you haven't seen this Essie polish, prepare to be amazed!

I honestly feel like I have fire on my nails. It is a gorgeous polish, with holo flakes. Yummy. I have seen this polish on top of black...and boy I can't wait to try that! It is gorgeous! But since it is spring time, and we are having a birthday party for my eldest today, I wanted something brighter.

These photos make the base polish look more orange than it actually is...but honestly, I'm fine with that! I'm loving this!!!

The fact that Essie named a polish a spin off a Prince song makes me love it even more. I am a HUGE Prince fan...thanks to my momma! I grew up listening to his music, and I currently own his entire collection. Sign O the Times is still one of my favorite songs. So, Essie, thank you for naming this polish Shine of the Times. It brings a huge smile to my face!

Yummy polish!! I'm thinking the Essie polish is what makes this base polish look more orange on my fingers. Fire fire fire!!! <3

I had been oooohing and aaaaahing at the holo flakes in this Essie polish for a while now. But I just could not bring myself to purchase it, until yesterday. I KNEW I needed it, even though my hubs will tell me that I already own plenty of glitter top coats. "BUUUUUT HONEEEEY! This one is diiiiiifferent!!!!"

I hope you all enjoy this bright and summery manicure! I do hope I have inspired some of you to go out and buy this awesome glitter top coat from Essie! I got it for $8.00 at Walgreens!

Until next time....
