Review: "What Happens In Vegas...Ends Up On Instagram" from Girly Bits Cosmetics

Hello Readers:

Gosh I had a busy weekend, then had to go back to the clinic as the technician didn't take enough blood to run all the tests they needed. Boo for getting poked more than necessary! Anyhoo, on the gorgeousness that is the polish I'm showing off tonight!

"What Happens In Vegas... Ends Up On Instagram" was created exclusively for the event Girly Bits Cosmetics co-hosted with KBShimmer during Cosmoprof in Las Vegas earlier this year.

"What Happens In Vegas... Ends Up On Instagram" is a bright raspberry-fushia scattered holo with flashes of purple and bright pink microglitter.

Shade Photos

 

Isn't it just GLORIOUS?!?! This berry polish is everything I hoped it was and more. This is definitely one of those polishes where I couldn't stop staring at my nails. It made me smile every time I looked at it. It went on very easy and smooth, no application issues. I used two coats of polish over a clear base, and a clear top coat.

 

The microglitter shone great along with the holo, but didn't translate well to the photos so I took some photos in the shade where you could see the microglitter a lot better. Unfortunately, this polish is no longer available but Girly Bits Cosmetics has many great polishes to choose from, so don't hesitate to go check out their website.

 

Until next time.

Turtle Shell Nail Art

Hello Readers:

I know it's been awhile, but I have some nail art for you today. My vacation is fast approaching so I haven't had much time to do anything other than swatches. Today's nail art inspiration is turtles. I tried doing the look of turtle shells using stamping plate MASH-49, Girly Bits "Giggity Giggity Goo" and Picture Polish "Mallard".

 

Overall I really like how this turned out. I especially love the flakies from Mallard, it adds an awesome effect to the look. I only wish there were more flakies lol

 

Like I said earlier my vacation is fast approaching, the end of next week is the start of it. I'll continue with my regular posts until then but there won't be any more nail art until I get back from vacation when things will finally slow down.

 

Until we meet again.

Review: "A Stripper Has Been Sleeping In My Bed" from Girly Bits

Hello Readers:

I have an awesome glitter packed polish for you today. It is called "A Stripper Has Been Sleeping In My Bed" from Girly Bits which was inspired by all the glitter that Pamela found in her bed one day from all her work in the polish shop.

"A Stripper Has Been Sleeping In My Bed" is a clear based polish packed full of microglitter in a plethora of colors.

First I'm going to show you the polish by itself, and then I'll show you photos of it over its partner undies "Peel Here". (To see "Peel Here" by itself check my past post: here).

Below are the photos of three coats using Stripper over a clear base, and a clear top coat.

Intentionally blurry to show off some sparkle

 

Isn't it just gorgeous and SPARKLY?!?!? I of course love all things sparkly so this doesn't disappoint! It goes on easy, and the opacity builds up great so you don't need undies if you don't want them. However if you do feel like wearing undies there is its buddy "Peel Here" which is featured in the photos below which show two coats of "Peel Here" and one coat of "Stripper" over top.

 

 

I think this duo is a great pairing! They fit well together but I think next time I'd use two coats of Stripper just for some extra sparkle. And of course you can use a different colored undie if you like. Overall both polishes are fabulous!

 

If you'd like to add either of these polishes to your collection you can check out Girly Bits' website, or from one of their US stockists: OverallBeauty or Llarowe.

 

Until we meet again.

Spring Fling Nail Art

Hello Readers:

I have some more nail art for you today. It's simple but super colorful! I honestly love this one, and think it's great for spring! In think mani I've used Liquid Sky Lacquer's "Forget Me Not, Darling Diva Polish's "Rose Diamond", Jindie Nails' "Sparkle On The Vine", Girly Bits "Get Weaponized".

 

I used Forget Me Not as my base color, then did Rose Diamond on half my nails (except the two with Jindie Nails), and used Sparkle On The Vine glitter topper on two fingers. Finally I used Get Weaponized to accent the break in colors between Forget Me Not and Rose Diamond.

 

I personally love how this mani turned out! The colors are gorgeous! I'm definitely on a vibrant color kick. More spring nail art to come with my next post.

 

Until next time.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Hello Readers:

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Sadly, my St. Paddy's day mani didn't turn out the way I wanted to. It was definitely one of those days. At first I tried doing a ombre/gradient with shades of green but sadly it didn't turn out, so I decided to just freehand some stripes. Then I wanted to stamp some shamrocks on top, but for some reason it just didn't want to turn out (even tried it with a couple different polishes). So after having to redo my nails many times I ran out of time and just had to settle with my freehand stripes.

I like the colors alot, but I just wish I could've had a little something extra on it. Nonetheless I'm happy with it, and (again lol) I love the colors!

In this mani I used BB Couture's "Laguna Lagoon", Girly Bits' "What the Deuce?", and Literary Lacquers "A Thousand Christmas Trees". 

For those who celebrated over the weekend, I hope you are recovering well. For those who are celebrating today, be safe and recover well.

Have a good one folks, and I wish ya all the luck o' the Irish today.

Until next time.

Review: "Get Weaponized" from Girly Bits

Hello Readers:

Today I have a special edition holo polish from Girly Bits that was a collaboration with Nicole from Nail Polish Wars for her two year blogaversary. They named this wonderful polish "Get Weaponized".

Get Weaponized is a teal linear holo with purple and magenta iridescent sparkles.

Isn't this polish GORGEOUS?!? The sparkle is amazing and the color is just POW! The polish went on smooth and easy. I used two coats over a clear base, and a clear top coat. This is one of those polishes that I found I would keep periodically staring at my nails. It is so lovely!

If you'd like to get your hands on this polish go check out their website or you can get it from one of their US suppliers Llarowe or OverallBeauty. At this time I do not know their other suppliers but their website will have a list of them all.

Until next time.
