Today was a long long day for me. I had to leave work in the middle of the day to care for LO while DH was at a health fair, and then return to work to finish out the day. I feel like I spent two days at work! Luckily I have a three day weekend to look forward to so hopefully the week will fly by for me.
Recently, I was able to find some of the L'Oreal Miss Candy Jellies that everyone has been raving about, and I have to admit that they're worth the rave. The formula and application are pretty good for jellies, and the finish and shine are amazing! I can't wait to play around with these and try some layering combinations.
First is Berry Nice, a dark purple jelly that looks black on the bottle but translates lighter on the nail and darkens as you layer it. I can see this working really well with silver glitter sammiches. I used four layers in these pics, which is a lot for me but I was trying to minimize VNL. Each layer dried fairly quickly and I didn't experience any dragging which usually happens with the jellies I've tried before. No topcoat so you can see its natural shine. Look how squishy it looks!

Next is Jolly Lolly, a red jelly that starts out with a pink hue than darkens as you layer it to a bright cherry red. This is three layers, with a layer of Milani Gems on my ring finger to create a sammich. No topcoat.

Finally I have Miss Pixie, and in my humble opinion, the star of the bunch. It's a stunning royal blue jelly that I think other brands have tried to create but never hit the mark. Below is four layers with no topcoat.

For fun, I tried an ombre with Miss Pixie by using one layer on my pointer, two layers on my middle, three on my ring and four on my pinky.

I can see these making a home in my permanent collection and becoming useful for when I want to get creative with layering and making sammiches. The formula on all of these were excellent and they really make jellies a joy to work with. The shine is awesome on these as well, no topcoat needed and there's a lot of depth and squishiness when dry. If you can find these, definitely pick them up. I found a display at my local Walgreens and Rite-Aid and waited until they were on sale to purchase. Are you a fan of jellies?
