Happy Monday! Tomorrow is a public holiday here in SA and a lot of people have taken today off work to have a super long weekend. Needless to say, our weekend continues! 😉 I hope you have a beautiful day, even if you are at work.
Something that I have been wanting to try for ages is a jelly sandwich with stamping instead of glitter. For the longest time I was shying away from jelly polishes. All of a sudden I just fell in love and then I really struggled to find a jelly polish that I love. Until now that is.
A little while ago I picked up a jelly from the China Glaze Sunsational collection. Let me show you the pretty.
China Glaze – You Drive Me Coconuts
I’ve used three coats here with no topcoat. Mostly to show that with three coats it is pretty opaque. It’s is a beautiful, squishy polish that I absolutely love!
I then used Pueen07 and Sinful Colors – Casablanca to stamp this squigly design.
I actually really liked this just like that but jelly stamping sandwich is what I was after so onwards I go. I then added 1 coat of You Drive me Coconuts.
I might’ve been a bit heavy handed with the last coat of polish but you can still see the stamping so I am going to class this as a win. It might not be perfect but I like it! I like it a lot! I will definitely be trying this again.
What do you think? Have you tried this before? Isn’t this polish gorgeous? I am utterly in love!
Thanks for reading!
Gorgeous! I didn’t like the sunsational collection, so didn’t get any, but might change my mind and get this one… Lol.
Thank you so much Lynette. Hahahaha glad to be of service 😛
Ooooh, this came out very cute M! And Casablanca really works killer for stamping! Can I just say that besides being a stamping perfection ho, pink looks awesome on you?! Lol
Thanks T! hehehe stamping ho. I really like that 😛
Why thank you but, of course pink looks good 😛
It makes the stamping really subtle, in a completely awesome way 🙂
Thanks Kerry. I completely agree with you 🙂
I really like the concept. Maybe a darker colour for the stamping would of stood out more, but all trial and error in the beginning of these experiments 🙂
Thank you.
I love all kinds of jelly sarmies. This is kwaai because it is a big WIN. It looks like lil fish in a pink pond
Aww Thanks V!!! I love that, fish in a pink pond. That’s perfect! xx
I love it! Where do you get these stamps?
Thanks Leana. I use the Essence stampy set but this plate is from my Pueen stamping plates that I ordered directly from them here
Wow! This is very pretty! One day, when you give classes in nail art, I will be your first student!
Hahahaha deal!! Thanks you! xx
I really love You Drive Me Coconuts on you! And it’s pink! 😉
I think I like the stamping better without the top jelly layer, but mainly because it looks quite 80s and who doesn’t love that? 😉
It’s PINK!!!! hahaha thanks so much Lesley.
I also really liked the stamping better without the extra layer. I think it looked really funky!
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an extremely long comment
but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear.
Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted
to say excellent blog!
