Girly Bits: As You Wish

Girly Bits is participating in the Polish Pick Up (PPU) for March, which goes live March 2-5 at www.polishpickup.com
PPU is a website that lists and sells exclusive polishes each month. It is set up as a pre-order with a short ordering window. To learn more about PPU check out their facebook group.

Pam chose one of the most well read books in her home as inspiration - The Princess Bride.
The polish is named after the phrase Westley says often to Buttercup.

As You Wish
a blackened teal base, with copper to gold multi-chrome shine, prismatic holo flakes, deep copper metallic flakes, and multichrome flakes that shift through green and pink, to copper and gold. After application to the nail, the base shade reads brown in most lighting except when shifting to green.
I wore two coats with topcoat. Formula was good. I rarely let polish dry completely before topcoating so I can't speak to finish or texture, but after topcoat it was certainly smooth and glossy.

Leesha's Lacquer: Grey, Greyer, Greyest

Leesha's Lacquer is participating in the Polish Pick Up (PPU) for March, which goes live March 2-5 at www.polishpickup.com
PPU is a website that lists and sells exclusive polishes each month. It is set up as a pre-order with a short ordering window. To learn more about PPU check out their facebook group.

Grey, Greyer, Greyest
March's PPU theme is books and Leesha's polish was inspired by the book, "50 Shades of Grey"
Grey crelly base packed with all of the colors of the rainbow by way of holo and rainbow flakies.

I wore two smooth coats with topcoat. The formula was fluid and easy to apply, finish is shiny and smooth and removal was easy peasy.

Such a great shade of grey - not too dark, not too light. Perfect for nail art too!

Native War Paints Mint to Be Lucky

The formulas of each were fantastic and easy to apply. See photos for number of coats, all were topped with KBShimmer topcoat.

I also did a gradient with the two greens and stamped over it. I quite like how it turned out!
