Girly Bits: Peach, Love, and Joy

Press Sample

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.



What do you think of Peach, Love, and Joy?

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

January 2019 Polish Pick Up: Mythology

Press Sample

The January Polish Pick Up theme is Mythology! Launch is 1/4 at 10am Central. All of the brands have outdone themselves this month, and I have six of those shades to share with you!




1850 Artisan Orion's Belt
Denim blue base with copper shimmer, linear holo, holo microflakes, and a variety of aurora shimmers.
Inspired by the beautiful night sky depiction of Orion the Hunter.
cap: 150

This is 1850 Artisan's very first polish pick up and Nikki has made a stunning shade!
Two coats shown with topcoat, formula was good and application was like butter.






I couldn't help but stamp some stars on!




77 Lacquer The Goddess of Death
a medium toned nude base with copper and red shimmer, copper, pink and violet sparks, pink iridescent shifting Flakies and grey iridescent Flakies.
cap: 100

Do you remember the Mannequin hands trend? This is my perfect shade for that, but kicked up a notch with shimmer and flake!
Two coats shown with topcoat, formula was good and application was smooth.






Bee's Knees The Haetae
Inspiration: Sarah grew up listening to stories from her grandmother that involved the haetae, so this mythical creature has always held a special place in her heart. What's not to love about a unicorn/lion/dragon hybrid creature that's a symbol of protection?
Description: A silver linear holo polish with an icy blue to purple shimmer, holo flakes, and iridescent flakes that shift teal to purple.
Cap: none

The new packaging is very nice, loving the logo redesign and screen printed bottles but the best part is the new brush. Oh yes, this is the same brush that I rave about every chance I get. Now there are two indie brands with it! Time to celebrate!

The Haetae stamps beautifully over dark colors! Shown over Pegasus from Turtle Tootsie




KBShimmer Gaia
Inspired by the bright colored depictions of Gaia.
A vibrant blue jelly base filled with holographic glitters and color shifting unicorn flakes in shades of green, purple, pink and blue.

I love how bright the base is!
Shown is two coats with topcoat, formula was good, application was surprisingly smooth for how much glitter is in it.









Lollipop Posse Those Who Were Neither
soft, milky red jelly filled with chrome and iridescent flakes in various color shifts, as well as holographic silver flakies, red/green Aurora pigment, and scattered holographic pigment
no cap

Wow! Such a sparkly and beautifully done polish. Don't miss it!
Two coats shown with topcoat, formula was good and application was smooth.





And the beautiful green flash!




Turtle Tootsie Pegasus
A dark indigo jelly base with holo micro glitter and purple to blue chameleon flakies as well as fantasy flakies
no cap

I love a good grapey purple with sparkle! It also works well for a pond mani and makes a great base for unicorn pee.
Two coats shown with topcoat, formula was good and application was smooth.

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.

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