Pin it Thursday Jelly Sandwich

 Pin it Thursday # 2 is in full force today:)  I wanted to do something super simple as it has been a CRAZY week!!! I choose this PIN as my inspiration. A simple jelly sandwich. Now I have never done a Jelly Sandwich before (I know, where have I been) I decided to do two variations of the Jelly Sandwich Pink and Teal:)

For the Pink I used Zoya Paloma, and sandwiched in Jordana Glitters in Magenta Magic and Silver Jewel. and put once coat of Paloma on top.  I think I would have liked this more had I used 2 coats of Paloma to top it off.

For the teal version which is much like the original I used Zoya Frida as my based followed by Orly Glam FX in Mermaid Tale, followed by 1 coat of Frida and TA-DA perfection!!!!

 

 

So what did you do for Pin it Thursday???  Oh and a quick FYI;) I have a HUGE Surprise coming your way in a couple of weeks, I can't hardly wait!!!!

Oh WOW, what a week it has been!!!! And its only THURSDAY!!! Well My first (self sponsored) Giveaway Ended:) and I completed my first international swap:)!!!! I am also gearing up for my last semester of School which starts in 2 weeks:( I tried my hand at water marbling 2 times this week and failed magnificently  both times:( but after some tips from my fellow bloggers I think I may try my hand at it again this weekend.  So for todays mani I used my go to coral, OPI "OPI on Collins Ave." I followed it with some carefully placed glitter from Jordana Glitters "Silver Jewel", topped with a little Sinful Colors "Queen of Beauty", all completed and smoothed out with a coat of SV.

BTW  I am thinking about starting some kind of weekly feature, so what has been played out and what grabs your attention???? I wanna know:)

Do you ever feel like after you wear red polish that you can't follow it with another red... Maybe it's just me:) So after sporting China Glaze "Ruby Pumps" for the last few days I had to go blue!!! China Glaze "Frostbite" is my blue of choice today:) I just love this color its is like shimmery cobalt that is slightly neon!!! I did a glitter gradient with Jordana "LA City Nights" and Orly "Mermaid Tale". This Color combo is beautiful!!!! After wearing it all day I decided to add Essie "Matte about you" and guess what I ♥ it even more!!!! Tell me what you think!!!!

Sorry I have been slack on posts for the past few days... I have been feeling a little under the weather:(  So today I decided to try a color I got a couple of weeks ago by mistake... My order from Zoya got messed up but their CS rocks!!!! The polish is Zoya "Reagan" a creme magenta that leans purple rather that red:) I would describe this color like chocolate it is just that creamy, rich and smooth. For an accent on my ring finger and thumb I added 3 coats of Jordana Glitters "Magenta Magic".  The combo is beautiful but the glitter photographs purple when really it is a pink. (Check the pics to see). Happy Thursday Everyone!!!!!

White Tips, Gorgeous Green and Glitter!!! What more could you ask for???? So last night I was struggling to decide what I was gonna do and a friend of mine suggested- a red polka dot mani with white tips- an idea which I love and will be doing soon!!!! But (insert SAD face) I couldn't find my favorite red (which I have now found). So I thought I would try it with green/turqouise.  I slathered on 2 coats of  Zoya "Zuza" and taped off some white tips with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "White On" :)  This is about the time that  inspiration struck!!! That new Jordana Glitter "Cosmic" I picked up last week would be perfect over this.  I ♥♥♥ the way this mani turned out:) but I did figure out in the process that Jordana Glitters are Topcoat HUNGRY!!! So if you use them pick up a bottle of Gelous and layer it on before your topcoat!!!! BTW once I reach 50 followers and 100 likes on FB I am gonna be having a giveaway:) I have decided theme my giveaway with either "50 shades of grey" or "The Basics of Nail Care"  Which would you guys like to see more???
