{Guest Post} 'Jelly Sandwich' Nail Polish Tutorial

I heart Amber so I'm excited to have her taking over my blog today!  And she's going to show us how to make a jelly sandwich!  No, not the food :)  I'm always excited for new tips and tricks, so let's see what Amber has to say...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey y'all.  My name is Amber and I blog over at Obviously Obsessed.  I am so thrilled to be back at Glossy Blonde guest posting again for Niki.  So let me start by saying I have a mild extreme nail polish obsession.  I haven't always had it and it kinda snuck up on me these past few months, my husband has no idea what he's gotten himself into lately. 

My nail polish display in our bedroom :)
I already need another one.
Anyways, I love to play with different combos (glitter, neons, sheers, matte).  I love them all.  Lately, I've noticed myself shying away from glitters because of the intense time it took me to get them off my nails.  UNTIL NOW!!  I've heard about the Foil Method before, but this was my 1st time actually doing it.  

What's the Foil Method you ask?  Basically all you do is put nail polish remover on a cotton ball, put it on your nail, take a square of foil and wrap it around the cotton ball on your finger.  Seal the top and squeeze it against your finger to make it air tight.  Leave it on for about 1-2 minutes and then twist it off by grabbing where your nail is.  Voila!!  It should come right off. Depending on the glitter, you may want to leave it on longer and you may have to rub it a little bit to get the last few pieces off, but OMG what a difference.  HELLO GLITTERS AGAIN!!

Another nail obsession I've fallen in love with recently is the Jelly Sandwich.  I had my 1st sandwiching experience the other day and you can read all about it here.  But now that I've had a little practice, I wanted to try again.  Today I used Wet n Wild 2% Milk and Spoiled Pet My Peacock.  Now, I read another blogger call 2% Milk "my nails, but better" and I couldn't agree more.  


I really love how this Jelly Sandwich turned out.  I'll definitely be using 2% Milk again by itself and as the bread in my sandwich.  

I hope you enjoyed my post and my nail tips.  Come on over to Obviously Obsessed and play sometime.  I'd love to have you.  

Have any of you tried any Jelly Sandwiching combos?  I'd love to hear about them so I can try them out.

Thanks Amber!  This looks like so much fun and I love the end result!!

  2. That is a really amazing nail polish collection. My love for nail polish has gotten out of hand recently. I just bought the out the door top coat, and I know that it's going to change my love for nail polish and make it grow even stronger.

  4. The foil method is awesome! I find you can basically get the same results holding the cotton ball on your nail without the foil too.

    WetNWild is such great nail polish :)

  5. OMG Amber! That is a crazy nail polish collection. So, I'm an idiot and thought that you actually put 2% milk on your nails, until I realized that was the color of the polish. Wow :) Now that I know.. I'm going to have to pick up a bottle of it! Love the sandwich!
