Picture Polish Wisteria and OPI Rainbow Connection Jelly Sandwich

On Wednesday of last week I decided to experiment with the concept of the Jelly Sandwich again. As some of you may recall (or if not you can find it on this blog) my last attempt of a Jelly sandwich wasn't so hot. The effect was too nude/dead fingers and it ended up sliding off my nails the next day, urgh! So this time I played around with a few colors on a swatch until I was happy with how it was going to look and this is what I came up with :)

I give you the Purplicious Jelly Sandwich

This is what I used to create it :)

Ulta3 Base coat and 2 coats of Picture Polish Wisteria

Picture Polish Wisteria is such a lovely color on its own.

Then I added a glitter layer of OPI's Rainbow Connection

Then to complete the Jelly Sandwich I topped Rainbow Connection with 2 coats of OPI I Pink I Love You

Final Result of the Jelly Sandwich, a lilac looking sandwich with suspended glitter :)

Depending on the light can look quite purple....

....or light Lilac

The completed Jelly Sandwich pics were taken after 4 days wear, so please excuse the tip wear. Even then the wear was awesome and minimal! I loved, loved, loved this mani so much that I still have it on and it's only coming off as I need to have more "work appropriate" nail attire. Whatever. I will definitely have another go at a different type of jelly sandwich, as technically I didn't use a jelly polish but the layering technique was there and I love the endless combination you can try :)

 Hope you liked the jelly sandwich, what's your fav color combo for your sandwiches?
