Today I will be starting a challenge with a group of lovely girls that I met through twitter :) This is a Smorgasboard of a challenge with a variety of different techniques. We'll be posting 7 challenge days every other day, check out the graphic at the end of my post to see what else will be included! The first day is a jelly sandwich.
I started off with 2 coats of Essie's Marshmallow, which is my favourite jelly to use for sandwiches! Then I added 1 coat of Finger Paints Flecked which is the green flakie. Then I added a coat of LA Girl's Eutopia, which is a Violet Purple glitter in a clear jelly base. Then I added one more coat of Marshmallow. Finished off with a coat of NYC top coat.
I'm really sad that the green flakies didn't show up in the sandwich! Maybe if I put them over a black base next time with a different jelly on top? I shall keep experimenting :)
I like how this turned out, it reminded me of a twist on Nubar Black and White Polka Dots. What do you think of this jelly sandwich?

Lovely jelly sandwich!
ReplyDeleteSimple and gorgeous! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Emily! :)
Deletelooks awesome.... i need to find some of those LA glitters... this one reminds me of a Sephora by OPI glitter I have, but I can't remember the name :/
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think my mom got them for me at a Walgreens?
DeleteThis is lovely!! Marshmallow is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Marshmallow has to be my favourite jelly!
DeleteVery pretty! Mmm I really don´t think you can use flakies for jelly sandwich because they lies flat on the nail, they don´t stand out as a glitter. And the color of the flakie it´s given for the light, if you put a jelly over it, it kind of "kill" the effect (I think so, I´m not totally sure anyway)
ReplyDeletehmm thanks Julie! I'll probably keep experimenting anyway lol I'm stubborn like that ;P
DeleteThis is cool! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fingers! :)
DeleteI love how this came out! Yours came out similar to mine - more of a solid finish than anything blingy.
