Jelly Sandwich Skittles with OPI, Lippmann, Nailventurous and Lynnderella

I've been dying to try a Jelly Sandwich manicure which is where you layer jelly (or sheer) polish with a layer or two of a glitter polish in between. My only sheers are pinks, so I decided to layer between OPI Pink Friday and the classic Bubble Bath.


I've tagged the photo, but L-R is OPI Rainbow Connection, Deborah Lippmann Today Was A Fairytale, Lynnderella Boy Girl party and Nail-Venturous Pinkerbell. I did one layer of OPI Pink Friday, then one layer of the glitters and finished off with 2 layers of OPI Bubble Bath.

A bottle shot of all the polishes used. 


I quite like the overall effect, sort of interesting without being in your face mega glitter. My favourite combination is Rainbow Connection followed by Boy Girl Party. I tried using Lynn Sweets to the Sweet but it looked rather awful for some reason. Also TWAF has a grey jelly base, so it altered Pink Friday but I'd love to try it with a grey jelly like the one from the OPI Ballet Collection. 


 Finally a crop of all the polish. Clockwise from top, Rainbow Connection, TWAF, Boy Girl Party and Pinkerbell.

Which one is your favourite? Would you try this at home?

    Also really glad you like the glitters :)

  3. I don't recognise rainbow connection there!

    I have a hangover against glitters. I still cannot get over how hard it is to remove them.
