I am using 2 of my letters for the Alphabet Challenge today.
"R" for Essie Room with a View and "S" for Zoya Sweet.
My plan was to use Room with a View to make a jelly sandwich, however, it didn't really work out the way I planned. Room with a View is a very sheer nail polish (I actually didn't like it for the longest time) but it's not quite a "jelly finish". It actually gave the glitters more of a soft focus look. I really do like it with Claire's Candy Shop - it makes it more of a subtle manicure instead of an in-your-face glitter nail. Zoya Sweet makes a great base for Candy Shop!
Below is a pic from my previous Candy Shop post so you can see the difference that Room with a View makes when it's on top.
I did purchase OPI "Don't Touch My Tutu" in order to make my first Jelly Sandwich, so I'm excited to try that - hopefully I can figure it out:)
Have a great day!

You got DTMT!!! :D I can't wait to see! I do like the softer, more subtle look of this.
ReplyDeleteYep, all because of you:)
DeleteSo pretty! I need to try jelly sandwiches more. I wasn't too fond of jellies til recently.
ReplyDeleteMe neither. I was actually pretty annoyed when I would get a sheer polish...but now maybe I can make them work:)
DeleteI think this looks great!! You will be fine with the jelly sandwich! Can't wait to see!
ReplyDeleteWe shall see huh? :)
DeleteThe Claire's lacquer is so cute! I can't wait to see your first jelly sandwich!
ReplyDeleteyeah, I'm excited to try:)
DeleteAaaand here comes that song again: "I'll take to you the candy shop..."!!! haha I love this layering!!! And I just got DTMT so I can't wait to see how you use it!! I'm not very good with sheers so I definitely need some visual help =)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I need to post that at least once a month so you can get that song in my head. How about you do the jelly and I learn from you???
DeleteI've never done layering!!! So the learning will be done the other way around!! =))
DeleteI totally see the difference and I like the one with Room with a View. Its lighter and softer looking... very in right now.
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel closer to my age with the more subtle one:)
DeleteLooks great, love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI LOVE the layer combo!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteVery cute! I need to buy Candy Shop one of these days!
ReplyDeleteThanks:)
DeleteI'm still learning the art of the jelly sandwich myself- and I agree that Candy Shop actually looks much better muted like this.
ReplyDeleteWe can learn together, right?
