Good evening girls!
Today I'd like to show you my very first glitter sandwich which also happens to be based on Deborah Lippmann's Candy Shop!
I started by painting my nails with two coats of Lm shade 21.
Then I added a coat of Essence Circus Confetti, a clear polish packed full of multi-coloured glitter.
Next, I added another coat of my pink Lm polish, thus finishing my very first glitter sandwich! I know glitter sandwiches are usually done with jellies but this shimmer polish seemed to work just as well and I loved how it turned the glitter particles pastel.
However, part of me wondered if I should take it a step further so I applied a coat of Rimmel mattifying topcoat before deciding matte pink doesn't suit me and applying a normal topcoat to bring back the shine.
What do you think girls? Have you tried glitter sandwiches before?
Bye for now,
Laura
That's really pretty, I have been looking for some pastel jellies to try this with that aren't too expensive.
ReplyDeleteI may have to resume the search...

Thanks :-) Jellies can be really hard to find but apparently mixing a little polish with a lot of a clear polish creates a jelly so it might be worth trying to make your own...
DeleteThat's a very nice choice of polishes! I agree with you though, it looks way cooler when it's shiny :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Maybe another colour would have looked nice matte but this one just didn't!
DeleteIt's a lovely glitter sandwich, I kind of like both, but the shiny the most :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteThe end result is beautiful :) It actually worked!
ReplyDeleteYay! Maybe next time I'll try it with an actually jelly lol
DeleteLooks great! Really pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :-)
