    This reminds me a little bit of Kleancolor Blue Eyed Girl. Very pretty. I wish I could get all of the components to make it but I don't know how to get the Australian polish.

      You could replace Fairy Bread with any old multicolour glitter in a clear base. You would get the same effect. :)

    It's so lovely. I would love to try it myself but can it be done with another polish because I don't have jelly polishes (how do you know it's a jelly polish)?

      A jelly polish is basically a sheer polish. It will build up and become opaque after a few coats but it doesn't have that solid look that cremes have. An example of a jelly polish would be a pink use for french nails. If you've got any sheer polish give it a try with them. :)

    Wow, it's gorgeous! I always suspected Royal's too dark to make a decent sandwich... clearly, I was wrong. This is SO pretty!

      I did have to use a really thin coat over the glitter. If I used a regular coat it would have been much more opaque. :)

    Oooh, this looks so mysterious! I definitely wouldn't have guessed that was Fairy Bread!

      I probably wouldn't have either, it looks very different under Royal. :)
