How I Punk’d Up Dollish and Made an
Indie Jelly Sandwich
Well hello, hello everyone! I’d like to thank Melissa at
Pinked Polish for asking me to make a guest appearance on her blog. I am truly
honored! When she first asked me, I had no idea what I was going to post. Then
she suggested a jelly sandwich mani. I’ve never done one before and have heard
that they can be hit or miss so I figured I’d give it a shot.
I’m sure there are certain rules to follow when it comes to
this kind of mani that I am not aware of, so again, if this is an epic fail,
thank you Melissa for letting me do it on your blog! :P
I have several polishes but really wanted to do a 100% Indie
jelly sandwich. That proved much more difficult than I thought. All of the
Indies I have already have glitter in them! Hmmmm what to do?? Then it hit me.
I have an original bottle of Dollish Polish Hip Hop Hippity Hop and if I don’t
shake it the glitter will stay at the bottom - therefore I have a lovely pink
base!
Does it qualify as a jelly? I asked myself that several
times during this mani and to be honest, I still don’t know. All I knew was
that it took two coats to become opaque which meant that one coat would do what
I needed it to do and that was good enough for me.
Next I needed to find an Indie glitter. This was a task
since I own so many. I decided to do Pretty & Polished Punk’d Up Betty
because I hadn’t tried it yet and just received it in the mail the day before.
This polish was one of my lemmings for quite a while so excuse me if I dork out
a little bit!!
Alright, here we go! First I applied two coats of Hip Hop
Hippity Hop to make it opaque. Then I waited for it to dry.
Once it dried I applied two coats of Punk’d Up Betty to get
a lot of the glitter because I wanted it to stand out.
I know right??? I love it too.
Okay… movin on.
Then it was time to top my sandwich. I decided to do varying
coats of thickness with Hip Hop Hippity Hop because… well why not?
Okay so it’s not as glamorous as I’d like it to be (wow my
fingers were really dry by the end of this!!) and again, I’m not sure if this
is how it was supposed to turn out but as it was my first attempt I’d say it
isn’t too bad!
It was definitely a fun experience and I’m not sure that I
would have attempted it had it not been requested by you, Melissa!
Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity!! J

interesting! not sure how I feel about it haha
ReplyDeleteOoh this is awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting look, for sure. I have mixed feelings about jelly sandwiches (and have only ever managed one decent one), but I think this one looks best with the one regular coat. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about the look of the jelly sandwiches as well. All in all it's fun to do but I don't know if I'd actually sport the look.
ReplyDeleteI have no Indie polishes but I keep seeing them on blogs & I really HAVE to try ordering some. LOVE punk'd up betty
ReplyDeletePunk'd Up Betty is my #1!!
