31DC2012: Day 17 - Glitter

I own a LOT of glitter polish. Well at least I feel like I do. I love love LOVE glitter! I've got a gazillion glitters on my wish list also! So I had a tough time choosing a glitter to use for today's mani!

But I chose to go with a new one that I had yet to try and was excited for! :)
I did an opaque jelly sandwich which I've seen on Instagram. :) I started with a base of Ulta3 - Lily White, and then two coats of Spoiled - Trust Fund Baby which is blue, gold, and black hex glitters with square magenta glitters! The formula was pretty thick but not too hard to work with! I wasn't a HUGE fan of the brush which was very wide but it also wasn't a huge issue. I did two coats of Trust Fund Baby. Trust Fund Baby is another awesome polish I received in a swap from Natalie! :) (I've almost worn every one she gave me! After only just over a week of receiving her package!) Then I topped it all off with OPI - Don't Touch My Tutu, a sheer white jelly! Super pretty.

I feel like my camera couldn't focus on my mani so well because the glitter was sandwiched. Looks kinda blurry to me in my photos.
My boyfriend said it looked like ice cream with sprinkles! Haha!

Oh by the way, I'm not sure if you noticed but I've pretty much given up on the Girly Girl nail art challenge. LOL. It was too hard to keep up with two challenges at once! :P I had some ideas for some of the themes though so I'll just save them for a later time for some fun manis!
