Please welcome Lauren from A Polish Change!
I am featured on her blog today too, so make sure to stop by her blog (and follow because her blog is awesome)!

When Amy and I arranged to swap blog posts, I was immediately excited but then was hit with a tsunami wave of nausea (C'mon, it's not every day that you get to intrude on the web page of your "Nail God"). I'm feeling Nail-Venturous was the first blog that I ever stalked, and Amy's creative and beautiful nails inspired me to start my own blog last month. Needless to say, this called for something special- my first glitter sandwich!
I'm sure all of you know what it is, but just in case you don't: the sandwich manicure is where a base color is laid down first, followed by an clear base glitter polish, and then topped with either the base color again or a sheer polish that lets the glitter shine on through.
Decisions, decisions….Over a good coat of base coat to protect my nails, I painted a thin coat of Essie's Little Brown Dress. For my glitter layer, I chose Crown Me Already from OPI's recent Ms Universe Collection. And if that wasn't enough, I topped it all off with Essie's Bordeaux (a burgundy jelly).
And there you go, my kind of sandwich, calorie and fat-free! Many thanks again to Amy for swapping posts with me. If you'd like to check out my blog, A Polish Change, please do so at polishchanges.blogspot.com ... it's not nearly as "polished" as this site, but I'm trying!!
