I think jelly polishes are my favorite type of polishes. I love that they have that squishy look to them. I don't even mind having a little bit of visible nail line when I use a jelly polish. So when I saw Milani Juicy Glo at CVS recently, I knew I had to have it. I immediately put it on when I got home and fell in love. But when I realized that it was never going to DRY, I took it off in disgust and tossed it into my Helmer with a frown.
I did end up swatching it for you, though. It's absolutely gorgeous and if I could sit around and avoid using my hands I'd wear it for more than an hour. I used four coats and the formula was pretty nice, but after waiting an hour for it to dry and realizing it was still wet enough to slide off my nails, I knew it wouldn't end well. I even tried layering two coats over silver and it wouldn't dry that way, either.
It's even more gorgeous in the sun.
I decided that I wanted to see what it looked like with some flakies and glitters on top so I dug through my Helmer drawers for some fun things to put on top. Here are the polishes I chose:
I applied one coat of each (except for two coats of the Cover Girl) in the same order as above, from pinkie to index finger. By the way, I ordered Pink Chloe from Cherry Culture, the Cover Girl is super old and I bought it about seven years ago, the Nfu-Oh came from FabulouStreet.com and I got UFO at Walgreens.
I love how these look in the shade.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed! Oh, and if you could recommend a relatively easy to find orange jelly polish for me, that would be great. I love this look, but since it won't dry it's not going to work.
