How To Paint A Jelly featuring Chaos & Crocodiles Narwhals Are Unicorns Too!

Glittered jellies and crellies can be a pin to paint. At least theywere for me. I used to avoid these kinds of polishes altogether, but I was missing out on so many great colors. I used to use them only with a base color and then the jelly glitter over the top, but sometimes the base is just so unique I can't find anything to match. I've only recently found a method of application that works for me: super-thin coats.

I thought I would show you just how thin I mean. I used Chaos & Crocodiles Narwhals Are Unicorns Too. You can see how much the coats build up. For photographic purposes I should have done a fourth coat, but in real life this is all you need.

Index: 1 coat
Middle: 2 coats
Ring & Pinky: 3 coats
Very important: Before starting your next thin coat the previous coat should be dry to the touch. I do these thin coats for all my polishes and it really helps to decrease denting and increase wear. Keep practicing and you'll get control of those lovely glittered jellies and crellies!
