All right, I realize I said I would day days 17 and 18 today, but today's kind of a whopper so I'll do 18 and 19 tomorrow!
If you were on MUA a while back (before the drama llamas rolled in), you'll have witnessed the jelly sandwich craze. A jelly sandwich generally consists of multiple jelly polishes layered. They can be layered with other jellies, cremes, shimmers, etc., but are most delicious when paired with glitters. I love me a good sammich so I decided to have a go at making one.
Here's what I used:
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Raspberry Race, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Strobe Light, and Revlon Just Tinted Desire

Not as insane as my last one, but still nice. Although I must admit, I kind of got sick of all the pink glitter. Barbie called, she wants her manicure back!
But wait!? What's that you say? You want MOAR jelly sammich!?!?!
WELL OKAY THEN!
Let me warn you, this is a big one. Here are all the polishes I used (in order):
OPI Roadhouse Blues, WnW Fast Dry Party of Five Glitters, Revlon Royal, Revlon Colada Fizz, and Sally Hansen Strobe Light
I JUST COULDN'T STOP! And I'm so glad I didn't, because this is what I ended up with:

O. M. G. Tell me that is not the winningest mani you've ever seen. Seriously. Now THAT is a party. I am astounded by my genius. It's so awesome that I kind of lose my train of thought whenever I look at it. Completely derailed. Like
"So hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me with fgsfdsdjklghslg. Wait, what was I talking about? Sorry, my mani distracted me. I won't let it happen again!"
or
"(someone asking a very important question that I'm not hearing because I'm admiring my nails) So what would you say about that, Laura?"
Me (surprised and unprepared to deliver an appropriate response):
The first one is great, but that second one is ahhhhmazing!

ReplyDeleteI wasn't a big fan of jelly sandwhiches, it makes my nails feel too think, but I did like the blue one it's pretty, but not something I would do myself. But I totally love the pictures bahahaa
