Happy Pink Wednesday, lovelies! Very exciting news! This little bloggy of mine reached 250 followers overnight! So, first I just want to send a big ol' THANK YOU to all of you for following me! It really brightens my day when I get comments about my manicures!
Ever since seeing this post by Gotham Polish I have been lusting after Milani Jewel FX Gems polish, and of course I couldn't find them anywhere! UGH! Don't you hate when that happens? Luckily, with a little googling I found an online store offering them up at a pretty reasonable price, so I snatched up all three colors! Now that I had my gems, I had to figure out the best sandwich combo, enter my testing nail wheel:
First step, I painted two "nails" in Zoya Portia and two in a new shade I just got from Sally Hansen called First Kiss. Then nail one and three got Milani Jewel FX Gems, nail two got a pretty pink sparkle from NYC called Dreamy Glitter (which looked gorgeous, but way too light for a sandwich), the last nail got Milani Jewel FX Gold. Let's see how they all look with my sheerest pink, Sally Hansen Petal Pusher on top:
The winner ended up being #1. #2 was just too light, #3 was too bright, #4 was awesome, but I wish there were more small gold glitters, and I don't have anything like that. So, here's the winning manicure:
SO STINKIN CUTE!!!!! Like sprinkles on a cupcake! :) Have you experimented with Milani Jewel FX yet? I've noticed on other bloggers that glitter sandwiches turns into a bit of an obsession, and I'm ready to play along! It is such a cool effect! Do you use test nail wheels to try out a manicure before you try it? I think it is a great tool for trying out ideas before having to commit a design to ten nails!
Glitter sandwiches are so pretty :) I don't use nail wheels to test them... but I should. I always seem to mess them up somehow!
ReplyDeletelove!
ReplyDeletejust a little heads up - they're called Jewel FX not Gems polishes :P
I like glitter sandwiches!! I just can't do them because I hate removal!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen! I love how this came out. Thanks for the shout out :) I'm happy you found Gems! Sometimes I test out combos, but I don't post pictures... I really like that you did. It's fun to see your ideas.
