Purple Jelly

Using Ulta Duty Free Shopping Spree, Nicole by OPI Rainbow in the S-Kylie, and two coats of OPI Passion on top, I created a cotton candy and confetti inspired jelly sandwich.

I love the way it looks in the picture, and that glitter is so pretty in the bottle but there is just something about it that I can't stand once it is on my nails. -_-

Pretty in Pink Jelly

Once I created this delicate soft pink jelly sandwich, I knew that if I was going to do my own nails for my wedding I would recreate this manicure. I absolutely love it for a sweet, demure bridal look. It had me thinking that I might do this instead of my scheduled gel French manicure...but I think I will stick to my gel manicure for my wedding because it will last longer.

To create this look, I used two coats of OPI Passion, Essie A Cut Above and OPI Pirouette My Whistle (the glitters), and one coat of OPU Passion to seal it in. 

Another thought: I should really get into the at-home gel manicures. I've been wanting to for a while but I would only see basic reds, pinks, whites, and blues. Now that I have seen a greater variety of colors I'm thinking of saving up for a kit.

This was taken before I added the final coat of OPI Passion and I adore this look to.

Marshmallow and Jelly Sandwich

I was inspired by a Jelly Sandwich manicure that used Essie Marshmallow and A Cut Above. I loved the pink and white together but wanted to try something I had not seen yet. So here's what happens when Essie Marshmallow and Milani Teal sandwich up.

Two coats of Essie Marshmallow and two coats of Milani Teal. I also loved this look but had to proceed with the marshmallow and jelly sandwich I was envisioning.

Step-by-Step. 1. Two coats of Essie Marshmallow. 2. One coat of Milani Teal (just to see how it looks). 3. Another coat of Milani Teal (two coats total of the glitter). 4. One thin coat of Essie Marshmallow.

The finished Marshmallow and Jelly Sandwich. Love, love, love!

Rainbow Jelly

This Jelly Sandwich Manicure was created with Essie Secret Story and Nicole by OPI Rainbow in the S-Kylie.

Two coats of Secret Story and one coat of Rainbow in the S-Kylie.

The next step for the jelly sandwich: I added one thin coat of Secret Story to top it off.

Step-by-Step. Top: Two coats of Secret Story. Middle: Add one coat of Rainbow in the S-Kylie. Bottom: Finish with one coat of Secret Story.
