Jelly Sandwich

Today I decided to try a jelly sandwich mani.  I first saw it on Goose's Glitter and it was absolutely gorgeous.

For this I used Essie Marshmallow and Wet n Wild Correction Tape.  My friend who saw it said my nails look like sugar cookies lol

This is 3 thin coats Marshmallow, followed by 1 coat Correction Tape, and another layer of Marshmallow.

Layla Ocean Rush

Ocean Rush, where have you been all my life?  It's gorgeous!  Ocean rush is a medium blue holo.  A lot of the blue holos are a pale blue and if I don't have them right next to a silver holo, I almost can't tell it's supposed to be the blue version (I'm looking at you Nfu Oh 65).

A word of advice, don't even try to put this on without a base coat like Aqua Base or it will be impossible to apply.  While you do need a base coat made for holos, top coat isn't necessary.  It dries nice and shiny, so there's no need to worry about destroying the holo with a top coat.

I love this polish so much, I think I need to invest in the rest of the collection.

This is 2 coats.

China Glaze Sunshine Pop

Sunshine Pop is a gorgeous yellow from China Glaze's ElectroPop spring 2012 collection.  It has a bit of silvery shimmer in it as well.

  I love this yellow.  Actually, I love yellows polish in general.  They don't get enough love because of the craptastic formula they often have, but they're so pretty once on.  Sunshine Pop has a pretty decent formula.  I was prepared to layer on 4 coats trying to smooth it out, but it went on pretty smooth and I didn't want to shoot my self in the middle of applying.

This is 3 coats.

OPI I Don't Give a Rotterdam!

I haven't been painting my nails on a regular basis lately and it's starting to show.  I obviously need to get back on track because my cuticles are hating me and it seems as if my painting, clean up, and picture taking skills are off now too.

Anyways, I Don't Give a Rotterdam is from OPI's Holland collection.  It's a pretty dusty blue with tiny flecks of gold glitter.  I absolutely love this color, but for some reason it doesn't love me.  It makes my skin look dirty.  I'll definitely have to come back to this and try it again when I'm not so frustrated with everything else.

This is 3 coats.
