Hi Everyone,
Today I have my first ever glitter sandwich to show you! If you don't know what this means, it's basically a technique where you alternate between layers of jelly finish and glitter polish to create a manicure that has a special depth to it.
I bought a few new polishes yesterday and chose them specifically because I wanted to create this look. The glitter I had in mind was NYC Colors Lights Camera Glitter because of the larger hex glitter, but my local Superdrug doesn't stock it, so instead I bought Miss Sporty Sparkle Touch instead. Sparkle Touch is literally a dead on dupe for Rimmel Disco Ball which I already own but didn't bring with me here!
The jelly I'm using isn't a true jelly. I only own two of these and they're both at home, so instead I used MUA Shade 18, which is a very sheer milky pink creme.
The technique I used was to apply my basecoat (Nubar Ridge Filler) then one coat of Sparkle Touch, a coat of Shade 18, a coat of Sparkle Touch and then a final coat of Shade 18. Then I used Wicked Fast from Cult Nails as a top coat. Even with Wicked Fast, which usually dries really quickly, this took AGES to dry, I guess it was because of all the coats. MUA polishes usually dry really quickly, but the Miss Sporty polish took forever. I'm hoping that's not a standard thing with their stuff because I bought another two from them yesterday!
Here are the results anyway:
