I had a perfect picture in my brain of how I wanted this mani to turn out. It really doesn't look much like the picture :(.. I love doing candy manis.. I think they're so neat. Some people may call this a "jelly sandwich", but I didn't use a jelly on the bottom AND on the the top.. therefore, it's a candy mani..
This mani was done with:
1 coat OPI- You Don't Know Jaques!
1 coat OPI- Crown Me Already!
1 coat Sonia Kashuk- Chocoholic
I'm smacking myself upside the head because I should have used OPI- Suzi Loves Cowboys as the jelly topcoat! Ah! I forgot I had it. I just got Chocoholic in a swap and it seems like a jelly, but it's just a bit too thick to use in a candy mani/jelly sandwich.
I like the color.. the glitter just doesn't shine through the way I pictured! Darn! Oh well, it's kinda pretty. I'll know better next time.
This is my new favorite cuticle oil. It's by SpaRitual and you brush the oil right on your nail/cuticle, then gently push back your cuticle with the angle sponge cap. It smells good, too!!
Tell me about your Candy Manis. What combo did you use? Also, I want more jellies. Which are your favorite? :)
Yea you can't really see the glitter but it's definitely cooler than just brown. How much is that oil? I'm looking for an easy to apply one.
ReplyDeletei really love the idea behind this! i'm going to have to get some jelly polishes and give this a try!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you find a good combo
