NOTD: Ya'll Come Back Ya Hear? and Rainbow Connection Jelly Sandwich

Thought I'd try a jelly sandwich since I recently got OPI's Ya'll Come Back Ya Hear?, my first polish with a jelly or sorbet (as OPI calls this particular translucent, squishy looking finish).  When I was looking at glitters to use, Rainbow Connection from last year's OPI Muppets Collection jumped out at me and seemed like a good candidate given it's multi-colored glitters in various shapes and sizes.

I used two coats of Ya'll Come Back, then one coat of Rainbow Connection, topped with two more coats of Ya'll Come Back and one of Seche Vite.  Otherwise know as a jelly sandwich.  Ya'll Come Back applied very well and would probably require about 3 coats on it's own for opaqueness.  Rainbow Connection is a dense glitter and was a bit gloppy, so I had to push it around some for placement.

This orange jelly polish may become a favorite, as I love the shade and ease of application.   I got it as part of the OPI File in Style set, a nice way to discover some polishes that were not on my radar.  In fact, I may have to look for some more jelly polishes, as I really like the finish on them!

OPI File in Style

Why in the world this OPI spring promotional set is called "File in Style" I have no idea, as it includes no file.  You do, however, get a really cute set of tweezers and nail clippers along with  polishes La Paz-itively Hot and Ya'll Come Back Ya Hear?

 La Paz-itively Hot, part of OPI's classic colors, is a medium fuschia pink cream with a very slight blue shimmer.  I've worn this once and found it applied well and dried quickly.   Great summer color and even though this is on the cooler end of the color spectrum, it worked well with my warmer coloring.

 Ya'll Come Back Ya Hear? is from last year's Texas Collection and is a medium orange jelly.  Orange happens to be hot right now, at least according to Sephora and Pantone, who have designated it "the color of the year".  Orange is one of those colors I'm oddly drawn to now, but hated when I was young.  Go figure.  Maybe I had seen too many bad 1970's color schemes, I don't know.

The mermaid tweezers work okay, but be careful as they are bit sharp edged.  The clippers I'll probably reserve for my toenails, as they are a bit too clunky to trim hangnails with.  Both items are super cute though and are freebies with the set, so no complaints!  This set was $16 at a spa I go to which generally overprices their items, but I've seen it online for $13-$14.
