Jawbreakers and Jelly Sandwiches

Next up in the Halloween Challenge from Polish.Glitter.Rock&roll is the Sugar Coma Challenge


...I immediately thought of Jawbreakers for some odd reason...they seem to last forever and have bright colors so i went towards that direction.....but then I was like...WAIT....I could use some glitters to create that jawbreaker-y effect too...so thus my epic experiment began :)


So here's what happened... on my left hand every finger is a jelly sandwich but the thumb is a white polish with glitter....and on my right hand all the fingers are white polish with glitter except for my thumb which is a jelly sammich...

Here's the all the polishes I ended up using.....


 For the pinky of my right hand I used one coat of  my friend Abby's Banana Egg

One coat of Abby's Banana Egg and top coat...

 Forr my ring and middle finger of my right hand I used two coats of 365 Days of Color Funfetti and Cotton Candy
For me Funfetti was great...the white is opaque in 2 coats but the color from the glitter chunks still show...

To be honest I was a bit let down with Cotton Candy... while Funfetti went on without a problem, Cotton candy was a wee bit streaky (can you see the patchiness on the middle finger?) and it was hard to get the pretty pink and blue glitters onto my nail...



 Then obviously I had to use Pretty and Polished Jawbreaker for one of my nails too :) this went on my pointer finger on my right hand..2 coats..
 This went on flawlessly :]


Then for the thumb of my right hand I started with 2 thin coats of OPI Don't touch my TuTu which is a white Jelly...and then I used a coat of Sea Lore's Ariel..then topped it of with one more layer of the OPI...
I love love love this nail so much...I may have to do an entire mani like this one day soon...the greenish flakies of Ariel are sooo pretty..even in this jelly sammich its absolutely gorgeous!!



 Then on my thumb of the left hand I used 2 coats of Dollish Polish Expecto Patronum ;]

As always Dollish Polish went on like a dream and its awesome...im so loving this color too...

Then for myleft pointer finger I did a sammich with Lynnderella Forget you not..

I was disappointed with this jelly sammich actually...it was rather meh~ to me... >.<

Then a sammich with Nostalgic Lacquer Rio went on my middle finger....


 I like how the blue and purple still really show through the OPI... :)


Then my ring finger sammich used Lacquistry's A Friggin Circus

 Gahh I totally love this nail too...I love all the different colors of glitter and the softness that the OPI gives this....

 Last but not least, I used Girly Bits Hippity Hop for my pinky sammich

the shimmer is great and again I really like the delicate girly-ness of this...


You can get the polishes I mention in the links I posted above or you can also go to Llarowe to snag up some Girly Bits, Sea Lore polishes, Pretty and Polished and Dollish Polish :)

Studs and sparkles :]

Whew...Hi y'all im back :)... So this month october I'm going to try and participate in this nail art challenge thing from Polish.Glitter.Rock&Roll...


 the first challenge of this month is supposed to be created with my favorite fall colors to create a fashion forward look.... I wouldnt say this is my faaaaaaavorite fall color ( for those of you who know me you'll know i have a red-phobia) but I just ah-dore this mani..I was inspired by the whole studded trend thats been really popular for a while now...


Yes...y'all must be like O_o....wait its two different colors on her hands.....well due to my red-phobia...I decided to go with mis-matched hands but the same theme if you will...
 


 On my right hand I used Cult Nails- Quench...which is a vampy red...that looks different in different lighting...sometimes it looks like an ox blood red sometimes a brighter red... dare i say it...I'm loving it!!!! a red!! i know!! wow... I used 2 coats of Quench and then put 4mm gold square studs on my middle and ring finger...then for my pinky, middle finger and pointer I put on a layer of Northern Lights Holo Top coat in gold...and then covered everything up with Seche Vite






For my left hand I used Cult Nails- Blackout (which actually is more a blackened grey to me...) and then did the studs and holo top coat but I used the silver holo top coat instead (but you cant really tell the difference)...






More shots of the red....I still can't believe how in love i am with this....

~Cult Nails can be bought from their Online Shop for 10$ each... I also used their Wicked Fast base coat for this mani :)

~ The studs I used were purchased from the BornPretty store for under $5...*affiliate link*
