Jelly Sandwich Tutorial, and how I learned to love Glitter again

I have a love/hate relationship with glitter polish. Love the look of it on, hate the removal. I would scrub my nails FOREVER to get every last scrap off, or use the foil method and completely dry out my hands. Hence, I wore glitter very rarely, or only on one finger. All of this has changed after the discovery of using PCA craft glue as a base coat, and PEELING THE GLITTER OFF IN ONE PIECE AND UNDER 5 SECONDS. (Yes, all capitals was necessary. This is life changing.)

So here I give you a step by step tutorial of how to make a jelly sandwich manicure. All you need is an amazing glitter nail polish, and either one jelly nail polish (semi sheer), or a jelly and any other colour to use as your base colour.

I did a thick coat of PVA glue painted on with a nail art brush, and then waited about 10 minutes to dry, or until it had gone completely clear.

Then I did three coats of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu which is a gorgeous squishy milky white jelly. 

Next I did two coats of OPI Rainbow Connection, aka the best rainbow glitter polish EVER.

Then to top it off I did one thin layer of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu and finished with a thick coat of Seche Vite fast dry top coat.

Isn't it gorgeous? It reminds me of a jawbreaker...

The best thing about the jelly sandwich manicure is that you can be so creative with colour combinations; pretty much anything goes!!

Now onto the fun stuff... the home made peel off base coat. Pretty much, when you're ready to change your manicure instead of using remover just get an orange stick, or anything with a flat surface and pry up the underside of your nail polish starting from your cuticle bed. Then with a bit of pushing the nail polish towards the tip it should peel off all in one piece. Easy! 

Expect to see a lot more glitter here...
