Black and Green Jelly Sandwich

Happy hump day everyone!
Today I have a look I really enjoyed, I've seen some indie polishes that are very similar to this and I had a black a jelly and a green glitter so I decided to recreate it myself.

This mani took quite a bit of time and had lots of layers, I think about 4 layers of the glitter and maybe three layers of the black. The black jelly is actually a cheap NYC creme I diluted with clear polish to make a jelly. The green glitter is by a brand called True Colors that I found in a drug store in Nova Scotia when I was there last summer. They were super cheap so I grabbed about 5, they're great for jelly sandwiches!

I'm glad I saved the money and recreated the look myself instead of shelling out some more money! Not that the indies like this aren't gorgeous. And I'll definitely be making manis like this with my other glitters.

Nail of Many Days Ago

Hello again!

This was intended to be a NOTD, but that was many, many days ago. I can explain my sporadic posting schedule, but it would take forever so I'll just say that I've been having technical difficulties and leave it at that. 

This look is Need Sunglasses? from the OPI swatch post, topped with two coats of a black and silver glitter called Satin Knight. The glitter is from a brand called true colors that I found in a Nova Scotia drugstore called Lawton's. I gotta say, that drugstore is AWESOME and I wish we had them here in Alberta. I can't find any mention of this true colors brand on Google but they had a bunch of different coloured glitter and a collection of other colours. They were really inexpensive so I bought five and will definitely be using them in jelly sandwiches, yay! This one has black and silver microglitter and small black hexes. I'm gonna be using this over everything! The glitter isn't too terribly sparse but it did want to stick together a bit so I had to dab it on where I wanted it.

Now remember how I said that Need Sunglasses? took foreverrrrrrrr to dry? Well I added this glitter a full day or two after I'd been wearing it, and it somehow turned the WHOLE thing into a gummy mess and it got mushed off my index finger. Blegh. But I'll just load on the SV next time, overall I really like these two polishes!
