Girly Bits COTM for May

Girly Bits Colors of the month for May are a bright pink and juicy orange. They remind me of rainbow sherbet on a hot summer day!

Slushie Lips & Tips
a bright popsicle pink with an intense pink shimmer. It has a very reflective almost chrome-like finish.

If you're a pink lover or not, you need this polish. Trust. Two coats shown, formula was fantastic.

Summer Crush
a juicy orange with a pink glass fleck/shimmer. It is intentionally sheer and will need 3 coats for full opacity.

Pam's description is perfect, photos show three coats and formula is fantastic.
