My first jelly sandwich manicure

I kept seeing gorgeous "jelly sandwich" manicures on Carolina's Instagram (@carolingq), so I just had to try it out for myself! I've never been fond of these gel type nail polish because it takes so many coats to get a desired color. But... what I didn't realize is that you can "sandwich" some glitter in the middle and it becomes a pretty manicure! Check it out.

I used one coat of OPI base coat, followed by one coat of Rimmel London's Sunset Orange. Then, one coat of Essie's Stroke of Brilliance. Then again with one coat of Rimmel London's Sunset Orange!!

Here, I applied Essie's Matte About You as a topcoat and BAM!

How have I never thought to do this before? I have a new love for jelly nail polish <3

Have you guys tried jelly sandwich manicures?
