Blue Glitter Jelly Sandwich

This is a successful attempt at a jelly sandwich. I used ORLY- Spazmatic and Essie- Ballet Slippers. I love the look of glitter between polish and also with glitter on the top. It is very multidimensional. ORLY- Spazmatic is part of the recently released Flash Glam FX collection. It is filled with medium-sized blue hex glitters and some fine iridescent blue/purple shimmer particles. Spazmatic is pretty packed with glitter and I only needed two coats of it.

With the flash you can see how the layer of glitter looks under Ballet Slippers. For some reason, my index finger has a lot of topcoat bubbles in it.

I experimented with adding a layer of Apple Bottoms- Paris in Pink on top. I just used one coat so that it was a sheer wash of it just to change the color. It is a sheer pink jelly with glassfleck shimmer particles. I don't know much about Apple Bottoms nail polish. I purchased this in a set at Ross a while ago.

I preferred this without the pink on top, and I also experienced shrinkage at the tips of my nails because I added another coat of Seche Vite. In this picture you can see more of the shimmer in Paris in Pink.

I took this picture at the mid jelly sandwich process of this mani. This is two coats of Ballet Slippers, followed by one coat of Spazmatic with one more coat of Ballet Slippers on top.

Here's two coats of Ballet Slippers on its own before adding Spazmatic. It is a nude jelly

Here's my Sally's haul from today:

 I got some acetone because I was running low, Color Club Winter Affair collection mini set, 2 bottles of Gelous, and ORLY- Miss Conduct and Angel Eyes

KB Shimmer- Key Lime Pie

 Here's KB Shimmer- Key Lime Pie. I LOVE this! It's green, jelly, glitter- the trifecta for polish beauty in my opinion. It has various sizes of white, green, and gold hex glitter, and white and gold bar glitter suspended in a lime green base. This picture was taken in natural light.

 These next pictures are indoors with the flash. I am wearing three coats of Key Lime Pie here. It's very pigmented and builds up nicely for a jelly. You could probably even get away with two coats if you want a more sheer look. The texture of this polish was very smooth for a glitter. When it's applied, you have to make sure that no bar glitters are sticking up.

I just love the way the glitter layers over one another between coats. I've had the best experience with glitters from KB Shimmer. There is no fishing for glitter whatsoever. The glitter just comes out on the brush. Sometimes you get too much glitter and have to put a little back into the bottle. Key Lime Pie has recently been discontinued in order to make room for the shades in the fall line. 

Here are some recent additions:

From Sally's: ORLY- So Go-diva, Buried Alive, and Decades of Dysfunction (those two were on sale)

 I ordered Deborah Lippmann- Across the Universe online and also from Sally's I got Nina Ultra Pro- Electric Slide and Finger Paints- Tough Art to Follow

I got ASP Whitening Nail Paste (which I tried out in my previous post), and Gelous to use with glitter polishes.
