The Nail Junkie Banana Jelly Shimmer with Lush Lacquer Dippin Dots!

My friend Aleta from The Nail Junkie recently released her new Summer 2012 Collection. She was kind enough to send me one to review. OF COURSE I got the YELLOW POLISH, named Banana Jelly Shimmer! Thank you Aleta I love it LOL.

Banana Jelly Shimmer is exactly what it sounds like, a yellow jelly with shimmer! (Actually it has silver microglitter not shimmer.) Banana Jelly Shimmer (which I want to abbreviate to save myself the typing, but I realized it would be BJS.... Aleta did you do that on purpose?!) is super squishy and can be used for JELLY SAMMICHES!! Which is what I chose to do with my ring finger! BJS (lol) has a great application, but I needed 3 coats to achieve the look you see here. I chose to Lush Lacquer Dippin Dots for an accent nail. I think these two look really nice together! I added Dippin Dots between coat 2 and 3 of BJS.


Artificial light, no flash.

Such a lovely combination! It's gonna sound weird, but - I love how Dippin' Dots look like vegetables under Banana Jelly!

I've never been much of a yellow fan, but I love this one! Guess now I've got to go check out her polishes..LOL. I just don't know how you keep your nail's so nice Traci, with all the swatching you do. If it wasn't for seeing these I would probably never buy polish.
