Jelly Stamp-wich

A while back, while explaining what a jelly sandwich, or glitter sandwich, was to my mom, she wondered what would happen if you stamped a design between layers of jelly polish. I got to wondering how that would look, too, and it turns out it looks pretty darn good. :) I did a simple design, but one I will definitely be wearing all week. I love it!

Thanks to my mom for purchasing the Zoya Gloss Collection and letting me borrow it for this mani. I couldn't decide which color to use, but I finally settled on Katherine. This color is very pretty. Here it is all by itself. This is three coats.

 I used Konad Special White Polish for the stamping and then did one more coat of Katherine. Here is the mani before I added my final coat of Katherine. This is Cheeky plate M70 which I won in a giveaway from the always fabulous Lizzy of  The Do It Yourself Lady! Thank you!!

I tested out all my ideas for various color combinations on paper. Here is a picture of how they turned out.

You'll probably be seeing another one of these soon, because I promised my mom I would give her a Jelly Stamp-wich too. :) Thanks for stopping by!

Busy Busy!

I just wanted to drop a quick post to let all of you know that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed lately with work and school and...well everything, and I have decided to slow down with my posting. You probably already noticed that I have not been posting much, and I may have to start posting even less. Painting my nails was starting to become like a chore, and that is something that I didn't want to ever have happen. It is supposed to be 'me' time, where I can relax and enjoy myself. I still love doing manicures, and I will continue, but I didn't like this past weekend when I was rushing about and getting all huffy because I had to get my post done. Yuck. So not cool. With that being said, I am not saying goodbye. I'm just saying I need some space. It's not you it's me, blahblahblah haha.

Seriously, though, I am absolutely going to do my nails this weekend, because I will go insane if I don't. There will be a post for the week, but it will probably only be one post, and it will not be held to any particular deadline. And since I am cutting it down to just one post, I will not be doing Copy Cat Sat every weekend any longer. It's just too much, and it doesn't allow me to be as creative as I would like to be. I will probably pop one in maybe once a month, because I do see manicures every once in a while that I simply have to try. :)

When things get a little easier for me to manage, I will absolutely be back with several posts a week. I'm considering a challenge later in October as well, so hopefully things are better by then and I can commit. I really want to. In fact, I would be super happy if I could do a manicure every 3 days or so, but there's just not the time. This seems to happen to me at the beginning of every semester, so hopefully things will get better. Look out for my post this weekend. I have an idea I've been dying to try, so I'm hoping I will find the time. Thanks for all of your support!!
