Polish Days ~ Jelly Sandwich

Hey dolls! I have joined an awesome group of nail bloggers who will be doing a themed manicured once a month in an event called Polish Days, which was organized by Polly Polish. This month's theme is the jelly sandwich. My long-term readers already know that I love a great jelly sandwich, so I was really excited about this theme. During my blogging hiatus last month, I heard about these awesome, inexpensive jelly polishes by New York Summer ($1.50-$2). A polish friend from a facebook group hooked me up with a bunch of them, so I knew I wanted to use one from this brand.

I started with two coats of New York Summer Hot Baby Blue, which applied with no issues. Next, I added two coats of Spoiled Trust Fund Baby. I had some difficulties getting the glitter in Trust Fund Baby onto my nails because the clear base was very thick and had to resort to the dabbing method. Finally, I added one more coat of Hot Baby Blue.

I love the way this jelly sandwich turned out! The color combination of glitters in Trust Fund Baby accented Hot Sky Blue perfectly.

Here are the other jellies I have from New York Summer. I love that these come in a larger variety of colors than just your typical pink, purple, and orange jellies. These can be found on Transdesign or at some local beauty supply stores.
