Girly Bits: February COTM

Press Sample

Girly Bits has created and chosen the names for the February Colors of the Month! Both of these polishes are 5 Free, cruelty free, and vegan. They will be discounted as a set from Feb 01- Feb 10, in the Early Bird Promo Listing. After that, they will continue to be available for purchase individually until March 1st, at full price.



Budding Romance is a violet/pink holo.
The hit of pink in this polish makes it unique and more complex. Two coats shown with topcoat, formula was fantastic!






Steel My Heart is a slate grey holo.
I like a good medium grey, esp when they're holo! Two coats shown with topcoat, formula was fantastic!





Nailart! I stamped Budding Romance with Steel My Heart for a fun retro design!

Bee's Knees: Throne of Glass series

Press Sample

Bringing you three flakie polishes today, of which I was unfamiliar with their names so I did a bit of research. These are derived from the Throne of Glass series written by Sarah J. Maas.
These launched today and are available right now at https://beeskneeslacquer.com/



-Manon Blackbeak-a deep red with ghost flakes, the larger flakes that shift red to gold to green, similar to UP.

Such a squishy, deep, dark, true red. In person, it was actually slightly darker than the photos show. It looks like candy - and those flakes!
Two coats/topcoat.






-Abraxos-inspired by Manon's wyvern Titus, this is a charcoal polish with ghost flakes, the larger flakes that shift red to gold to green, similar to UP.

I love me a grey crelly with flash! The flakes in this are subtle until the light hits them, then blam! There they are.
Two coats/topcoat.






-The Thirteen-a blackened blue loaded with UP and ghost flakes, the larger flakes that shift red to gold to green, similar to UP.

Woo! What a vampy UP polish! It is definitely teal. Shown in two coats really darkens it. This would be a bit lighter if layered over a lighter shade of teal. Quite versatile, and look at the green flash!






The formula for each of these was good - smooth and easy to apply. I especially enjoyed Abraxos from this set!

I'm loving the soft, rich shades in this box! Each of them have really good formulas, apply smoothly and are shown in two coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Frozen Mountain Dawn
a warm beige crelly with pink shimmer, and scattered glitter in pink, gray, navy blue.

I love a good crelly and what could be better than a warm shade with pops of color sprinkled in?






Colores de Carol Peaceful
a soft blush pink with gold shimmer, holographic micro flakes and pink holo micro shreds.

Such a lovely shade, it reminds me of cherry blossom trees!






Quixotic Polish Storm Watch
a sultry, winter teal holographic embellished with blue/green and purple/red iridescent flakies and holo micro flakes

Rich, squishy jelly flake with depth!






Turtle Tootsie Polishes Blustery Day
a silver thermal polish, that has a subtle shift from a peach to gray, with gold holo flakies and golden shimmer.
I love the glints of shimmer from the gold flecks! Shown both thermal and not - the warm is peachy.

Girly Bits: Fan Favorites

Some were purchased, gift with purchase or press samples

Girly Bits relaunched the fan favorites a while back, and the below is a recap of those polishes. Some are still in stock while others sold out. Are these your favorites too?



Fathomless is originally from the Season of Sparkle Collection, which launched in December 2012 and was an early fan favourite with its squishy and mysterious deep green base, and iridescent blue to green shifting microglitter. Fathomless was retired in August 2015. Two coats shown with topcoat, the formula was good.






Destined to Meet Again is a re-launch of Serendipity, which was one of her most popular polishes from the exclusive A Box Indied, originally launched in March 2015. It is a soft glowing linear holo, with copper/red flakes, and lovely pink metallic glitter. Two coats shown with topcoat, the formula was good.






Pocuscadabra is a re-launch of the much loved Abracapocus, originally an exclusive from the Oct 2015 Beauty Quartet box. It is a stunning green shimmer and holo blend, with microglitter accents in orange, purple, green holo, and black holo. Two coats shown with topcoat, the formula was good.






Fatal A-tractor (purchased) is a re-launch of the ever popular Grandma Got Run Over by a John Deere, from the Dec 2016 Colour of the Month Duo. It is a lovely pine green crelly base with a squishy depth, a strong pink/copper shift, and it's swimming with teeny tiny holographic microglitters. Two coats shown with topcoat, the formula was good.






Shift Happens (purchased) is a dramatic colour shifting topper in a sheer red-purple base, also known as UP, or Unicorn Pee.

This particular pigment is no longer manufactured, and is VERY scarce, and hard to find. In 2011 Pam bought a sizable amount of this magical pigment, and when her stock got low she pulled it from the store. She was recently able to purchase some on the secondary market and recreated the polish, but it is currently out of stock.

I created this look by stamping with Girly Bits Love Yourself First over a base of Girly Bits Dark Reflection and then topping it with Girly Bits Shift Happens.






For this next one, the stamping was done with Jolie Rose Gold over Girly Bits You Look Mauvelous and then topped with Girly Bits Shift Happens.





Pam is so creative, I always look forward to seeing what she will make next.
Why not join her facebook group to be in the know!

Polishes are 5-FREE, vegan, and cruelty free.
