This is almost certainly not a result of layering, but of squeezing your hands too tight and cutting off blood flow.

I have the same effect with my feet. Two pair of socks is colder than one because they cut off blood flow. To get warmer, I have to switch to larger shoes that allow more socks, or put booties on the OUTSIDE of the shoes.
