Gelly sandwich!

      Today I have for you a lovely jelly sandwich combo with some glitters that I have been obsessing over. I find it weird that for the past few years I have been almost exclusively into cremes and holos but now for some reason I am all about funky and indie glitters. Next week it will be something else. Anyway, I really like Matte glitter right now, especially in black and white. I have also heard a lot of great things about the Sephora X line of nail polish and decided to try out two pink shades (shocker I know) and Chaotic, which is a black and white matte mix of various shapes and sizes of glitter.

         So for starters, a few weeks back I had a fab mani with Sephora x's Mischievous  which is a jelly hot neon pink, that I topped with Chaotic, and I wanted to continue that look but see what it would look like if I sandwiched the glitter between coats of the Mischievous polish. I liked the way it looked, but I felt that it was missing a little color(even though it was hot pink). I decided to put my KBshimmer laquer to good use and voila! Pink and blue glitters just lit up my nails!  I added another coat of the Sephora X Mischevious and topped it with a whole lot of top coat- couldn't stop looking at my nails ALL DAY!.

OPI's texas collection-Sorbet/Jelly finish






so OPI is really rocking it in terms of nail styles and having the "it" colors and techniques in nails this year. First they come out with some banging glitter polishes in line with the Burlesque movie ( I love those polishes, LOVE them) then they teamed up w Katy Perry and created some killer shades and glitter polishes AND black shatter. Because of all these distractions, I actually didn't realize that they created some cool Jelly polishes in their texas collection. Jelly polishes are colors that are see-through, and really shiny, they may take a few coats to reach an opacity, or they may not, this finish, when mixed with a cool or poppy summer shade or when in sun, look amazing. Definitely summer, beach nails all the way.
Here are some photos of the shade Guy meets Galveston, but I REALLY love too hot pink to hold 'em. I think these sorbet-finish lacquers are really great even though they took a while to warm up on me. As you can see, in some lights this color comes off as a lot more red than in florescent lighting. But I think that adds to its versatility. They REALLY shine in the sun! They remind me of the Butter London Jelly polishes, which I will now have to pick up and try :)
