Bridesmaid Nails Possibility: Pearls on Fire
I'm going to be a bridesmaid this upcoming Saturday, so of course I had to test out polish combos! The bride requested I do nudish/pinkish for the nail look, so I tried out this combo first. I like the jelly-ish, pink pearl quality of the base colors, and then the Shine of the Times on top adds a little flashy pop that tickles my artistic fancy!
What do you think?

Artsy Wednesday: Jelly Sammiches!
Jelly sandwiches are pretty simple; jelly polish, glitter, jelly polish, done. Jellies are arguably a new way to classify sheer polishes, but they do tend to come in more interesting colors than a sheer polish.
For today's Jelly Sammich, I used Essence's White Secret, a white jelly, and Ulta's Pinyata-yada-yada for the glitter. 2 coats of White Secret, 1 coat of Pinyata-yada-yada, and one more coat of White secret, and you've got a charming little party on your nails!
I probably could've added a fourth coat of White Secret, but I wanted a little of the reflectivity of the glitter to remain visible.
The nice thing about a Jelly Sammich is you totally change the look of the two polishes you use; your glitter is transformed by the color of the jelly, and your jelly gets some more depth and life with the addition of glitter. Quite the manicure style!
