Girly Bits Spam

I received a package a few days before Christmas with a bunch of stunning Girly Bit's polishes in it.  The package arrived just in time for me to spot a polish that would make my top polishes for the year, and also allow me to wear it to my work Christmas Party. But you will have to wait until the end of the post to see that polish.

Crantini - a very bright hot pink with a rich holographic flame. Great coverage and formula and such an intense colour. This was two coats with Seche Vite top coat.





Dash Away All - This one is a beauty, it a cross between a grey and a light brown/tan holographic.  Looking straight on it looks much greyer, but when you get it in artificial light or on the side where you see the holo flame more, the polish warms up and looks taupe.  There is also a lavender sheen too. This was two coats with Seche Vite top coat.





Get Weaponized - this polish was created by Pam for the two year anniversary of the Nail Polish Wars blog.  Get Weaponized is a bright aqua blue polish with a holographic shimmer and flecks of iridescent purple and magenta.  The extra colours in this make it much more interesting in low light and give it an extra dimension of sparkle in the sun. This was two coats with Seche Vite top coat.





Ho Ho Hope - is a violet magenta shade with a subtle holographic sheen. This was two coats with Seche Vite top coat.





Belly Jeans - With it's clever spoonerism name, Belly Jeans is a holographic multichrome.  The are lots and lots of holographic multichromes on the market these days, lots of indie brands are making them.  I'm very fond of all of them and they hold a special place in my heart.  Why? because I feel in a little way they are all my children.  You see back before all the indie brands made holo multichromes, before Enchanted Polish made the Beatles collection, even before Ozotic made the first holo multichrome range with the Mish Mash polishes, I created one. It was July 2011.  

With that said, Belly Jeans is beautifully done. The multichrome shifts from deep royal purple, to violet, red and gold.  What I love about this polish, and the new wave of holo multichromes, is that they don't have to be layered over black.  This was two coats with Seche Vite top coat.








A Stripper has been sleeping in my bed - This is the polish that captured my heart. It was created for the two year anniversary of Girly Bits. ASHBSIMB (longest polish name ever!) is clear-based sparkle explosion of holographic micro glitter. The hard part it trying to work out what colours are in there, because the holo sparkles make you see a whole rainbow.  The overall look is a grey, but not in a silver holo glitter sort of way. It really has to be seen in person to fully appreciate it's sparkle and colours.





The Girly Bits store is closed right now, but it opens TOMORROW - 6 January 2014. Like their Facebook page to stay up to date with the latest news.

Girly Bits - Fall Season Premiere Collection

Mid last month, Girly Bits Cosmetics released their fall collection of nail polishes that included nine shades.  The collection is themed around Pam's favourite TV shows premiering at the beginning of Fall, including Bones, The Family Guy and Saturday Night Live. I have five of them to share with you as well as a nail art design I created with some of them.

Dancing Phalanges - raspberry pink base with glass fleck shimmer which almost shines blue in the sun.  Smooth and gorgeous and easy to apply.  I did two coats here with Seche Vite top coat.






Gravedigger - a squishy purple leaning black jelly with lots of bright Halloween inspired coloured glitters in orange, fuchsia, purple, green hexes and squares, fuchsia dots, and purple iridescents.  I did three coats to ensure the jelly base was completely opaque for my photos.





King of the Lab - pumpkin orange glass fleck shimmer. Again the formula was excellent and easy to apply. This is two coats with Seche Vite. I can see myself getting plenty of use out of this polish given that our baseball season is about to start and the team colour is orange.




More Cowbell - a steel blue gray with a scattered holo finish and bue iridescent flakies.  I love the scattered holo finish to this, and the blue flakies, which show up more-so indoors. Perfect at two coats.





What the Deuce? - a kelly green holo shimmer.  This has the same holo shimmer as More Cowbell and I love the bright freshness of this colour.  I know it's a autumn/fall collection, but both this a More Cowbell also fit perfectly for spring.  This is two coats with Seche Vite.




I loved the matching holo shimmer in both More Cowbell and What's the Deuce?, and also the sping vibe that they gave me, so I decided to create a simple gradient with the two polishes.  I then stamped with Essie Shine of the Times and Messy Mansion plate 21 (scaly things).





Thanks for visiting as always.
