Hey guys! Today I bring you one of my favourite types of manis… another jelly sandwich!
Some of the prettiest fine glitter polishes are created by indie brand Shimmer Polish. You have seen a lot of them on my blog (have a look)! Cindy, its creator, has countless variations of these gorgeous, complex shimmer-blend polishes, mixing both expected and surprising colours together for beautiful effect. One such polish is Mary, described as being mainly red, silver and black glitter in a soft-red tinted base, though there are some holographic glitters as well as other shades. I told you they were complex blends! Mary is incredibly glittery; sparkle-and-wink-at-you-while-you’re-driving kind of glitter! And you know how I feel about all things jelly!! This jelly base is so squishy that it looks like a luscious berry.
I decided to pair it with one of my favourite jelly polishes, Paloma from Zoya’s Gloss Collection (see it here as well!). And the result was jaw-droppingly glittery, squishy, juicy!!
Here are two coats of Mary over two coats of Paloma, topped with a finishing coat of Paloma for the jelly sandwich:
Look at that crazy shine!!! And click the pic to see the tiny holographic sparkles lighting up at the tips of my nails.

This was one of those manicures I did not want to remove – I wore it for about a week before I finally had to part with it… but looking at these pictures makes me want to reapply it!

WOW! This is a beauty! I don’t have this Shimmer shade but I do have the Zoya – have to try it with something similar.
Aw thanks!! I love jelly sandwiches with the Zoya Gloss trio… they are amazing!
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S combo! *drooling over here* Paloma is on my wishlist… after seeing this I really need it right away!!!
Awww THANK you! That’s so sweet… Paloma is so gorgeous and versatile. Not to mention shiny!! <3
This is gorgeous! Why did I never think to make a jelly sandwich out of the Shimmer Polishes??? Great idea girl.
Thanks Essie Rae! The jelly base in Shimmers is so incredible that they make perfect jelly sandwiches! Did you see my Linna sandwich? 🙂
