I wanted to do something fun to get me excited about blogging again. I debated between Swatch Dump Sundays and Sandwich Saturdays for a while and decided that I'd have more fun making jelly sammies every week. So here's the first installment - two of my favorite polishes in one awesome mani.

This is 2 coats Deep Violet, 1 coat Burnout, 1 coat Deep Violet, and 1 final coat Burnout, with tc.
Because of its milky base, Burnout has a tendency to lighten whatever it's layered over. This can sometimes lead to a cloudy mani. I tried to avoid that by sponging Burnout to get more shimmer and less base.
I'm obsessed with Verity Deep Violet, and if you don't already own it, I suggest you go to
Amazon right now and get it. I have a post with it swatched on its own coming up soon.
Urban Decay Burnout has been long discontinued, but the shimmer is that same amber to green shimmer that is pretty ubiquitous at the moment. I'm sure you can recreate this look with something similar.
