Nail Trend Alert: Jelly Sandwich Mani

Dahlings!!

I love this nail trend, SO much. The Jelly Sandwich. It's basically layering sheer polishes, usually with glitter or dots of a contrasting colour in between layers, to create a dinensional type effect.

One layer of red polish followed by one of glitter, topped with another layer of red gave me this:

I only did the pointer and middle finger as we all know glitter is a pain to remove!! I love this look, and look forward to trying different colours and patterns.

Polishes Used:

Maybelline Color Show - Paint The Town
Essie - Set In Stones

Bling for the Holidays: Swarovski Crystal Pedicure

Are you ready for the latest in luxe pedicures? This season, the Lapis Spa at Fontainebleau Miami Beach will be offering pedicures that have a bit more bling than just the typical glitter nail polish. How about wowing everyone at holiday parties and new year's celebrations with a Swarovski pedicure (I'm sure a diamond pedicure will be enjoyed by the ultra rich soon).

Celebs such as Rihanna and Beyoncé has rocked this ultimate accessory, which features shimmering Swarovski crystals that add lasting glam to your toes. The pedicure takes approximately 90 minutes, includes a Lapis Spa "Spalicious Pedicure" and costs $200 for the effect on all 10 toes.

I do have a few questions:
How many crystal color choices are there? 
Is there an option to do multi-colored crystals in one pedi? 
How long does it last?

Hopefully I will get the answers to these soon and update you guys. Of course if anyone knows the answers to these questions, please feel free to share them in the comments section.

UPDATE: I've received more information and answers to my questions on the Swarovski pedicure from Silvia Calderon, Asst Director of Spa and Salon Services at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach:

• Currently the Lapis Spa only has the clear Swarovski crystals but they are expecting more color choices by next week.
• There isn't a multi-colored crystal mani, only one color is done on the entire nail
• Per Ms. Calderon. the pedicure will last depending what shoes you wear, open toes are recommended for long lasting. (time-wise, I will assume it will last as long as a caviar pedicure)
