Double Review: "Bird Is The Word" & "What The Deuce?" From Girly Bits

Hello Reader(s):

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! Things have been a little crazy around here... still trying to get off of night shift sleep hours. So far its been an epic fail, but here's hoping it gets easier this week. Anyhoo, onto my review.

I have two lovely holo's for you from Girly Bits. They are both from their Fall 2013 collection, and both inspired by the tv show The Family Guy. First is "Bird is the Word" which is a very lovely violet/magenta holo with add shimmer. Second is "What the Deuce?" which is an amazing kelly green scattered holo. (There is a third Family Guy polish called Giggity Giggity Goo, and that has been featured in two previous nail art posts I have done.) These two lovely holos today are just fabulous!

1 base coat, 2 coats polish, 1 clear top coat

These polishes are so gorgeous! Sadly due to bad weather I wasn't able to get photos that even began to do them justice. So I have officially decided to invest in a light box. It'll probably be a month before I get one, but it'll be worth it in the end. I know you can make your own, but getting the things I need to even make one would be spending the same amount of money anyway so I'll just be buying one.

Nonetheless, these polishes are stunning and I loooove them. Especially "What the Deuce?" I have many dark green polishes and a few mint colored polishes, so this has been my first kelly green polish and I can't stop staring at this color. It is beyond fabulous! I'll be sneaking this polish on my nails whenever I get a hankering for a sparkling green. ^_^

If you would like to get yourself a bottle or any of Girly Bits' other fabulous polishes. Go check out their website or follow them on Facebook for their upcoming releases.

Until next time.

Last Post of 2013! New Year's Eve Nail Art

Hello Reader(s):

First, I wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Second, I've seen numerous blogs doing a list of their favorite polishes/brands of 2013 (well at list in a lot of the blogs I read), but I am not doing that this year. I first started my blog back in July, so part of me feels like that's just not a long enough time in the indie/blogging scene to do that kind of post justice. Especially since I haven't gotten around to even swatching some of the polishes I've received and I just know at least a few would make it on my list. 

So with that I have decided not to do a list of my favorite polishes or brands this year, but I will do a shout out to the brands that I have reviewed this year, and I can't thank these brands enough. Some of the makers I have gotten to speak to and some I have not, but I am truly thankful for these lovely people who work so hard to give us such pretty paints for our nails ^_^

But before I get to the shout out... 

Here is my nail art for New Year's Eve. It is nothing elaborate by any means. It is just very simple. I used Girly Bits' Giggity Giggity Goo as a base, and I used My Ten Friends' First Contact as an accent. I had a different plan for my nails but sadly my package didn't arrive in time so I went with Plan B.

natural light

full on sunlight

I used 1 base coat, 2 coats of Giggity Giggity Goo, 1 coat First Contact, and 2 clear top coats. Everything went smoothly and I think overall it looks great. I think the next time I use this technique though I will put the full glitter coat on my thumb and just dab the tips of all my fingers with glitter. 

Still.. fabulous polishes and so sparkly! ^__^
