Happy Wednesday everyone! How has your week been? I am feeling so much better after my bout of strep. This week's letter for the ABC challenge in the Facebook group, Llama Nails, is J. I decided that I would do a jelly sandwich mani today. If you aren't sure as to what a jelly sandwich mani is, don't fret. It is pretty much what it sounds like. Glitter sandwiched between a jelly finish polish. A jelly finish polish is a very sheer polish that looks like jelly, for lack of a better term. This is not to be confused with a sheer finished polish. If my lame description confuses you and you want a far better one you can check out this blog.
I have done three or four of these manicures and this is the first one that I have really liked. The hardest part of this mani was photographing it. I took almost 200 pictures and think I got some good ones. I am hoping to be able to purchase a new camera with my Christmas bonus, but I do have to pay my bills first. Here's hoping they feel sorry for me this year and give me a little extra! :-)
Base coat: Sally Hansen Triple Strong Advanced Gel Nail Fortifier
Base color: Daddy's Girl from Sinful Colors
Glitter: Let Me See Your Peacock from Claire's
Top coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat
I did two coats of Daddy's Girl, a layer of the glitter, and one more layer of Daddy's Girl on top of that.
Have you tried a jelly sandwich mani? Do you like doing them? What kind of camera do you think I should get?
