Candy Mani, Jelly sandwich

These jelly sandwiches, or candy manis, are really "in" right now. OPI is even promoting them on their facebook page!
This manicure consists of a jelly polish and a flakie or glitter in a clear base. You use two coats of the jelly polish, and one or two coats of your glitter and then seal it with a last coat of jelly so it looks like the glitters are in the jelly polish. This can make some great manicures, but it always dries reaally slowly since there are so many coats..
Well, I used OPI - Guy meets gal-veston as my jelly and a blue flakie from NFU oh #56.

I didn't like this color combination at all! I think it looks like puke... But maybe someone else might like it? I think I'll try this again with some other colors...
This also dryed soo slooow... The flakies are in a pretty thick base and I had to fish to get all the flakes I wanted... So that's not recommended at all.

But I've seen many pretty combos, and you should all try your own!

I'm going away for a couple of days, but I'll try to get some posts while I'm gone. I'll come back strong after my vacation!

OPI - Got the Blues for Red

This came out with the 2005 Chicago collection, the same as Lincoln Park after Dark.
I think this is the perfect red so many girls are looking for. A little sophisticated, very sexy and super hot. It's right between wine red and blood red. Oh, I could go on about this color for ages, but don't take my word, look at my picture:
Two coats, no top coat:

Dried extremely fast, even for an OPI creme. I love wearing this to anything, parties, job interviews or dates. And it goes well with my 50s, pin up style! So it may not be everybodys perfect red, but it sure is mine!
