Jelly Sandwich aka Faux Indie Polish!

Hey guys! Today, I'm going to show you (well, tell you.. I didn't take any step-by-step pics >.<) how I did these Glitter Jelly Sandwich Nails which I've renamed, Faux Indie Polish!

Click Photos to Enlarge!

Products used:

White Jelly Polish

Glitter - Assorted Shapes, Sizes and Colours (LINKS PAGE!)

Tutorial:

Step 1) Apply one coat of White Jelly Polish.

Step 2) Whilst the polish is still wet, apply glitter using a toothpick or small dotting tool + Clear nail polish or Vaseline. Try not to put the same colour next to each other.

Step 3) Let that dry completely.

Step 4) Repeat Step 1 and 2

Step 5) Add your final coat of White Jelly Polish.

Step 6) Let that dry COMPLETELY so that when you add topcoat, the layers underneath won't be tacky.

Step 7) Apply top coat. I recommend a fast drying one like Seche Vite.

And you're DONE!

I'm quitting Stamping Month! Reptile Nails

Hi guys! Today, I would like to show you my final manicure for Stamping Month. The reason is, after Watermarble Month, I was DESPERATE to do different forms of nail art. Now that I started Stamping Month, I'm limited to what tools I use. I just want to be able to use my striping tape, brushes and glitter, not just a stamping plate, a scraper and a stamper. I'm really sorry :( I hope you enjoy these Reptile-ish nails! I will not be quitting Stamping ENTIRELY, just Stamping Month.

Products used:

BYS 'Antique Gold'

Mode 'Vicious Venom'

Face of Australia 'You Blew Me Away' + Sinful Colors 'Hottie'

Stamping Polish: Kleancolor 'Black'

XL Stamper

Pink Fishtail Mani

I hope you had a great week guys! Today I have a Fishtail mani! I was debating whether to post this or not because, believe it or not, it took me TWO HOURS just to get to this mani! My first idea failed, I used polish remover, second idea failed, remover, third idea... you guessed it, FAIL, remover... this goes on for about 50 times and on the 51st idea, I finally made a mani I was satisfied with.

So here it is! I hope you like it!

I used striping tape and applied it in a fishtail pattern.
The glitter is actually supposed to be holographic but I had bad lighting :(

Pink + Glitter Mani!

Good Evening/Afternoon/Morning wherever you are! Today, I have a pink and glitter mani!

I used BC Co, Shade 8 for the lightest shade, Sinful Colors Soul Mate for the coral shade and Avon Fuchsia for the dark shade. Then I used some glitter pieces I got from Bornprettystore.

I sort of have a love-hate relationship with this mani. It looks way worse in real life. :/ The glitter pieces just look weird and random but in the photo, it looks awesome!

I ALSO just got my macro lens and I'm having so much fun with them! Expect to see a lot of swatches soon!
