Glitter Jelly Sandwich with Feathers

This has been on my to do list for ages. I have been lemming after this Konad feather stamping plate for a while but as they are quite expensive I usually try to steer clear and just buy the Bundle Monster plates instead.

For all of those who know me you will not be surprised that I gave in and bought the plate just for this tiny little feather stamp. I love feathers :-)

This gorgeous little mani is made up of many layers so it took a while to create and a while to dry but I dont care because I love it :-)

I started with two thin layers of Barry M Strawberry Icecream. This is a thin jelly like pink polish that has been a favourite of mine recently and I knew it would be good to use for this jelly glitter sandwich.

I thin added one thick coat of Barry M Holographic. This is a really pretty holo hex glitter suspended in quite a thick clear jelly base.

To create the jelly sandwich I then topped this off with one further layer of Barry M Strawberry Icecream, which hid the holo effect and made the glitter look matte silver.

Finally I used Konad White to stamp these adorable feathers at varying angles and voila... one pretty pink feathery creation :-)

I am so in love with this look. I hope you love it too :-)

Jelly Glitter Sandwich

Creating a jelly glitter sandwich has been on my to do list for a while. When I first purchased this very sheer but pretty nude polish I knew I would save it for this very occasion. Here is a picture of the finished jelly glitter nude sandwich.

To create this look I started with two coats of Barry M Nude. This polish is a sheer jelly that would not build to a full coverage no matter how many coats you applied. Other bloggers have described this polish as your-nails-but-better and I have to agree. It evened out the discoloration I have from constant wear of brightly coloured polish and made my nails look shiny, healthy and natural.

To create the sandwich filling I used a clear based glitter polish which contains a mixture of gold hex glitters and lots of micro fine glitter particles. It was part of a set from Primark (of all places) and whilst it smells very strongly of chemicals I really love how it looks.

To complete the sandwich I then turned back to Barry M Nude and added another two coats on top of the glitter. This creates a really pretty but subtle look as it stops the gold glitter from looking quite so bright.

What do you think of my finished jelly glitter sandwich? Is this a look you would go for?

Thanks for reading
