Hello lacquered lovelies! Happy Wednesday! Yayyy another pink Wednesday post! I'm going to be burnt out on pink soon... I'm even wearing it today as I type this. Hopefully I'll have that mani to share with you soon, if I can get good pictures!
Today is just a quick one - I've been obsessed with doing jelly sandwich manicures that look like candy lately. OBSESSED. I decided to try this one and add a twist. I started out by frankening a pink jelly, because I wanted it to be obviously pink and slightly more opaque (and darker) than most of the ones I have. I used mostly clear, then added some Essie creme pinks until I was happy with the colour. So, two coats of that, then a coat of LA Girls Glitter Addict Animate, which is sick (I love red glitter - someone told me it looks like a disease but I don't care!) and then two coats of the pink franken over top, just to make it look really submerged. I was happy with that for all of five seconds, so I added two coats of China Glaze Matte Magic to make it reallyyyyyyyy matte. Then I was finally done!
The only downside: as you can see in the macro shot, that was a lot of polish to have dry, so I woke up with some small dents. Boo! :( Ah well, win some and lose some, right?
What do you lovelies think? Is there a colour you're wearing more than usual lately? Mine is pink... so weird, isn't it? I hope the rest of your week is fabulous!

ReplyDeleteAH! I ♥ this! I wish you didn't say that part about the disease because I was all like "oOoOoOoO...!" and then.."UGH!" BUT! I still like it! What I wear lately is nothing because my children love to never give me a free second, so if there is something on my nails it's smudge right after :P
