Teal Marshmallow Sandwich

Hi friends :) I have a glitter sandwich to show you today! It's two coats of Essie Marshmallow, two coats of Milani Teal, and another two coats of Marshmallow. Teal has a clear base with small blue glitter and large hex emerald green, silver, and blue glitter. Marshmallow is a squishy pale white jelly. I love how this turned out! It was one of those "can't stop staring at my nails" mani's.


I picked up both these polishes at CVS. I can't believe I didn't have this Essie before, it's fab! Any other glitter sandwiches I need to do with it?

Pretty & Polished - Jawbreaker

This post features an indie polish seller who calls her shop Pretty & Polished. She has some really unique lacquers available, some that I like particularly because they give the look of a "jelly sandwich" using only one polish instead of two.

This one is called Jawbreaker, and it is the spitting image of the candy it's named for. It has the classic colors, blue, red, purple, green and yellow flecks, in this case different sizes and shapes of glitter, in a milky white base. You get a more translucent look with two coats, but I used three.
Shiny with topcoat
Matte-ified, seems a bit pinker than when it's shiny.
You can purchase this and other polishes by Chelsea at her Etsy shop Pretty & Polished. She sells mini and full size bottles, $4.75 for 5mL and $8.00 for 15mL. Be sure to check it out!

Guest Post by Glitta Gloves: Royal Jelly Glitter Sandwich

Please enjoy this guest post from my amazing friend Kirsten from Glitta Gloves!
Hi lovelies! This is an exciting and kind of nerve-wracking post for me! I was so excited and flattered when Kellie asked me to do a guest post for her. Her blog was one of the very first nail blogs I started reading and I have had a very long-standing love affair with her nails. Creepy? Maybe!

So I started thinking really hard about something special I could share on her blog and I decided to do a jelly sandwich. If you read my blog, you know that I'm kind of obsessed with these haha. I was looking at pictures of Lippmann Across the Universe and being depressed about not owning it, so I decided to try and layer something somewhat similar. I used two coats of Revlon Royal, then two thin coats of Essence Edward, then a thin coat of Royal again on top. It's definitely not an ATU dupe by any stretch of the imagination but I think it's still pretty! I wish all polishes had square glitter.

Really fun and simple to do, I think! I hope you guys like it! And to my Kellie love, thank you so much for letting me do this! It was so fun!

Have a lovely day, pretties!


I love my girl :D Thanks so much for writing for me K-dawg *smooches*
