Today I have my very first NOTD (Nail of the Day) post! Featured in this post is a Jelly Sandwich using OPI Houston we have a Purple and Essence Make it Golden.
In this case the jelly is Houston we have a Purple. A jelly is a finish of nail polish where it is sheer but buildable, usually opaque in 3-4 coats. They are called 'jellies' because their finish is translucent or 'squishy' looking. A jelly sandwich is when you layer a glitter polish between a few coats of a jelly, creating a translucent, almost stained glass effect!
OPI Houston we have a Purple is a nice purple leaning pink. The formula is super smooth, self-leveling and it dries extremely shiny. Essence Make it Golden is a polish consisting of a few sizes of Gold hex glitter and gold shimmer. When layered underneath HWHAP, the glitter appears rose gold.
Jelly polishes are so fun precisely because you can make jelly sandwiches hehe! Love this one :)
ReplyDeleteYes! They are just so squishy and fun!
DeleteMake it Golden looks so much nicer in a jelly sandwich than by itself, I love that about it! I have yet to try many jelly polishes, really need to get onto it.
ReplyDeleteI only have a few jelly polishes, but I have definitely made a mental note to get some more!
DeleteThis looks really pretty! I haven't tried jelly polishes before, I really want to though as it looks fun :)
ReplyDeleteThey are really amazing! I just love the finish that you get with them!
