Finishpedia: jelly

February 27, 2015

Hi guys!

Back to finishpedia guide and today we’re talking jellies. I must say I don’t own that many because I mostly prefer crellies (more on that next week).

Jelly polishes are those watery, squishy, semi-trasparent colours that look like jellies or gummies (Haribo gummy bears anyone?). They are basically very watery cremes that are so sheer you can see the nail through them. They are often quite easy to apply but you have to be careful not to flood your cuticles.

Recently they are quite popular filled with glitters or flecks.

Ciao a tutti!

Venerdì = finishpedia, e la nostra guida oggi ci porta a parlare di jelly. Ammetto che non ne ho tanti nella mia collezione perchè preferisco i “crelly”, di cui si parlerà la prossima settimana.

Gli smalti jelly sono quegli smalti che sembrano annacquati, semi-trasparenti, come gelatine o come gli orsetti della Haribo (presente?). Insomma, lacche allungate per dirla tutta, talmente tanto da poter vedere la linea di crescita dell’unghia anche dopo un milione di passate. Dalla loro parte c’è la facilità di stesura, purchè si stia attenti a non riempirsi le cuticole di prodotto :)

Recentemente sono di gran moda riempiti di glitter di qualsiasi tipo.

As I am not  a fan of glitter sandwiches I’m also no fan of jellies. I hate that the VNL is visible even after billions coats! But I appreciate how easy they are to work with!

What about you and jellies? Like or dislike?

Siccome a me i cosidetti “glitter sandwich” non piacciono, i jelly non mi sono di nessuna utilità. E non mi piace vedere la riga della ricrescita delle unghie. Però adoro quanto sono facili da stendere!

Voi che mi dite? Jelly sì o jelly no?

    ... E se rispondo: "Jelly nì?" :D

    Nello specifico, mi piacciono, però in toni neutro e/o pastello, in modo da rendere naturale e lucida allo stesso tempo l'unghia (così non è nemmeno brutto vedere il segno della crescita).

      A me neanche così, perchè avendo iL letto delle unghie tutte diverse da loro, le tengo pareggiate in lunghezza per quando sono pittate. Quindi nude le lunette son tutte diverse ed è proprio un brutto vedere!

    P.s. Ho dimenticato di aggiungere una cosa fondamentale al commento: sono una orsetti (ma anche vermoni)Haribo addicted! :D :D :D

    Vedendo la differenza tra il colore in boccia dell'Nfu Oh e il risultato sulle unghie... Avrei potuto uccidere. >.<

    I like them when they become just opaque enough to hide your VNL in lower lighting - the very sheer ones could also be used for leadlighting though!

      That's true Deborah! I always say to myself I need to try leadlighting!

    Ah, jellies. It's a love 'em or hate 'em thing, isn't it? I personally love squishy jellies and have to hold myself back from hoarding all the Nfu Oh ones. Because it's a whole rainbow!

    I really like jellies but never have the patience to wear them as a base colour.

    Hmm, I have to admit that I'm not a fan of jellies. The VNL bothers me too much to be able to wear them. Your swatches are lovely though!

    Great swatches! I really love jellies, but I prefer crellies as they still have the sqishiness without the VNL.

    I like jellies but it depends on the color. I used to love jelly sandwiches, now I think they are dated so I don't find myself reaching for jelly polishes very much.

      I've never liked them myself but I wanted some jellys for leadlighting and never made it!

    The VNL is annoying, but I love using them for gradients, so much easier than cremes!

    I actually love jellies and jelly sandwiches!! VNL has taken a while to grow on me and with certain polishes, I actually really like it!

    I think they all look really beautiful! I don't own many jelly polishes, sadly. I do like them though, I've always wanted to create some layered jelly 'pond' manicures but my collection doesn't really permit it... I think. :) xx

    Temo di avere anch'io quell'Nfu-Oh. Ho brutti ricordi, al riguardo...
    Io sono NO, che ho un problema simile al tuo, oltre alla crescita anarchica. Non ce la posso fare, sorry.
