Girly Bits: Peach, Love, and Joy

Girly Bits released the six piece Bridal Bliss collection of pastel creams this summer and in it is Peach, Love, and Joy, a pastel peachy cream. Pam describes it as a warm toned peachy pink.

I wore two coats for photos. The formula is quite creamy and opaque. If you're heavy handed this could be a one coater. It also stamps well over any shade, but looks best over lighter colors.

I was inspired to do some mermaid nail art and this is what I actually wore for Christmas! Using the Lollipop Posse PPU flake, I added a gradient tip. To stamp over, I chose a mermaid scale pattern with Hit the Bottle in Champagne Shifter. Then I added a few jewels and caviar beads for the accent nail.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

What's Your Shine:Trixster and Perfect Storm

Super Impressed!

Jason of What's Your Shine, gave me the opportunity to experience his indie brand. I don't use the word 'experience' lightly. The brand is a complete package from first contact to wearing Whats Your Shine polish on your nails.

Jason exhibits his passion for his brand and his customers with the great amount of care and detail to packaging and product.

In my review package he included a personal thank you letter, product detail sheets, his 'about us' story, and insight to how he creates.
The products arrived displayed on a crisp white foam board backing covered in a designer paper, both custom cut to fit the products and then professionally shrink wrapped. If you look closely around the edges of the product in the below photo, you can see the plastic shrink wrap.
The bottles are also secured to the display board with easy to remove glue, and a nail file which prevents shifting and clanking during shipment.

This is the first time I've received such a nicely packed box from an indie brand. It definitely has a high end boutique or salon feel to it.

xoxoJen's swatches of What's Your Shine

It doesn't stop there though, the overcap on the polish can be removed to reveal a grippy cap for easier polishing, and the brand label is bold and easy to read. The square bottles are quite classy too.

xoxoJen's swatches of What's Your Shine

Both of the polishes below are part of the eight piece Shine Language collection. They are available now at the What's Your Shine store along with many other beautiful polishes to choose from.

Trixter - This one keeps you guessing, you'll never see the same color twice in this shimmering iridescent Dark Pink polish.

Definitely a shifty booger! On me, it looks peachy most of the time and then there's these hidden flecks the shade of pumpkin that you can see in the macro but not apparent on the nail. The holo flecks are subtle and appropriate for most business dress codes. The polish color would also be an amazing compliment to a Henna style tattoo or stamping, I'm sure! I wore two coats with topcoat, formula was excellent and I love that the overcap comes off to make polishing a breeze.

Perfect Storm - Iridescent Dark Gray Polish with a Holographic Sparkling Rainbow effect, that changes in every light.

For a dark shade of polish this one sparkles like fireworks! It's so reflective and beautiful that I ended up wearing it longer than most polishes I review. Two coats and topcoat were worn and again the formula was fantastic and I have to mention that cap again, I love it.

I enjoyed reviewing for Jason from start to finish and have confidence that his brand will do well.

Ever After's Golden Afternoon spring collection is a quad of varying finishes, so there is something for everyone! The collection launches April 8th, 4pm CDT at the Ever After shop. Rachel is also stocking earrings, water slide decals and heaps of crelly on the launch day.

As always the polish color descriptions are provided to me by the brand so that each polish is accurately described. My comments are underneath.

Bread & Butterflies - Peach Crelly base with scattered holo and ucc flakes
I wore two coats with topcoat. The polish has a smooth glossy finish on its own and it has a nice fluid formula.

Don't Wake Me in the Morning Glory - purple Crelly base with opal and iridescent glitters in various sizes with a navy blue microflake
I wore three coats and touched up a few spots where I had painted unevenly. The polish has a fairly smooth and crelly like finish with an easy to apply formula, no issues to report.

Nouveau Geek Box: Mario

The Nouveau Geek box is a brand new monthly box containing delightfully nerdy items handcrafted for anyone with a love of video games, sci-fi, and other assorted geekery. The very first box will be available for pre-order April 1 at 11am CDT and ends at 10:59pm CDT on April 7.

The very first box is Mario themed and includes five indie polishes, Super Mario 3D Gummies, a star-shaped mani bomb from Lemming Lacquer, two felt nail polish remover pads from le polish, a figurine (mine was Yoshi!), and a Mario coin.

Your Princess is in Another Castle - a buildable sheer peach shimmer with gold glitters. I wore four coats with topcoat for photos, but this can also be used as a topper. The formula was fine, though a bit brush-strokey, and I had no issues getting the glitter out of the bottle.

Bob-omb.com - an explosive black polish with hints of red, pink and gold shimmer. I was surprised how rich and dark this black polish is. It seems unusual to me to find one that is nearly one coater. I did experience some trouble with the formula and contacted Jennifer about it. She responded quickly and assured me that the issue would be addressed/corrected before launch. I wore two coats for the photos.

It’s A-Me! - inspired by the main man himself! a darkened candy apple red jelly with red and varying sizes of holo and iridescent glitter. I couldn't quite capture the richness of this shade without loosing detail, but I got as close as I could. I wore one coat - yep you read that right. I couldn't believe how well it covered in one coat, formula was smooth and easy to work with although I found the brush a bit coarse/thick which made it difficult to get super close to the cuticle line without needing a lot of clean up. That aside, this one is awesome!

Gimme A Boost and Call Me Invincible - a stunning medium violet (almost orchid) holographic polish inspired by the new purple boost stars from New Super Mario Bros. U. I love this shade, perfect for any season. I wore two coats on two nails and one coat on the other two - can you guess which?

He'll Eat Anyything - a neon green jelly packed with matte gold glitter and a sprinkle of holo pigment and glitter, inspired by everyone's favorite hungry dinosaur. What a bright fun polish! I wore two coats for the photos, and stamped it for Easter nails!

I'm excited to see what each month will be as the boxes roll out. The best part is, that you can choose each month whether or not to purchase the box. There is no automatic invoice or obligation.
Fantastic, yes?! I'd say so!

I hope you've enjoyed my review - come back and see me soon!
