Mmm, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich sounds good. But that's not the kind of jelly sandwich I'm talking about today! I wanted a palate cleanser for my nails after wearing Mermaid's Dream for nearly a week (which survived really well, even through deep cleaning parts of the house!). I recently bought Essie - Marshmallow, which is a sheer, white jelly. I heard about it on Makeupalley (MUA) and everyone there seems to have a love/hate relationship with it. But I thought I would try it for myself. Plus, jellies are one of my favorite finishes...so squishy and shiny! And what better color to serve as a break from others...white?
I put on 1 thick-ish coat, and wasn't satisfied. I wanted something a smidge flashier, but still simple and cleansing. So I added one coat of OPI - Rainbow Connection from the Muppets collection, and finished off with another thin coat of Marshmallow (and that's how you create a jelly sandwich). I LOVE this manicure, so much! I might even do it again! Marshmallow turned Rainbow Connection into a muted, pastel glitter. Here, take a look:
I love it. Maybe I'll do it again sometime soon, but I'll probably change it tomorrow or Wednesday. We'll see. Have you tried any jelly sandwiches?

I just did the same thing but with Essie Nice is Nice as my base color. Love it!
