Jelly Sandwich :)

Hey guys! So the other day I was looking online and I discovered something called a jelly sandwich manicure! I'm sorry that I haven't heard of it before, lol. But for any of you who don't know what it is (like I didn't until the other day!), it is a 3 layer manicure. You use a jelly as a base coat, a glitter on top of that, and the jelly again on top of the glitter. It gives this weird but awesome effect! It looks exactly like the glitter is sandwiched in between! I showed my boyfriend and he was amazed! I think I am going to need to buy some more glitters and jellys to try some more of these out, because I LOVE this look! Here is my experimenting:

 This is OPI Do you Lilac it? (purple) and OPI Gargantuan Green Grape (green), sandwiched with OPI Its my Year. This was the first one I did, and didn't turn out very well. I should have used a more sheer colour for the jelly, but unfortunately I don't have very many jellys.

 This is China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le sandwiched with OPI Simmer and Shimmer. I loved this one, although it doesn't look as awesome in the picture above as it did in real life. Simmer and shimmer is blue mixed glitter, so it looks a lot cooler underneath a solid blue because you can see all the other sparkle colours.

This is OPI Heart Throb sandwiched with OPI Teenage Dream. I loved this one a lot! I didn't leave it on though, it's kinda girly for me, haha. I did 2 coats of Heart Throb on the top and bottom. The Heart Throb was a great jelly to use to layer, and I will probably try it again with different glitters.

This is what I decided to do and leave on my nails for the day:

This is China Glaze Innocence sandwiched with OPI Its my Year. This also looks a lot cooler in person, and I am disappointed that I couldn't get a better picture to show you guys! I also missed putting Innocence on ONE sparkle on my middle finger, which bothered me so much I fixed it later! This is the perfect colour to do a jelly sandwich with though, and I will be trying it with other glitters!

A tip for all of you: a base jelly is optional, but I highly recommend that you use a base of some sort. Especially if you use a chunky glitter. It is a pain in the butt to get off! It took me 2 or 3 tries to get this one off. Also, don't put your jellys on too thick. If you have too many thicker layers, it begins to peel off within a few hours!
