Girly Bits: Betrothed

Girly Bits released the six piece Bridal Bliss collection of pastel creams this summer and in it is Betrothed, a pastel lavender cream. Pam describes it as a soft lilac.

The formula was creamy and nearly opaque in one coat, shown is two topped with topcoat.

I tried out an idea I had by layering a stamp that had a stair step like edge on it. I think I need a bit more practice, but I love the effect!
For this I used Girly Bits Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue as base and as a stamp, Girly Bits Denim and Diamonds, and MDU Blue Gray. The plate is xy-z28 from Aliexpress.

Bee's Knees 1/1 Release


Unicorn pee, flake, aurora, these polishes by Bee's Knees have it all! Choose a fave or get them all - they launch on 1/1/2019 at Bee's Knees online webshop. Not only is the bottle new, the logo is new and the brush inside is new. The brush is fantastic, as mentioned in my other review.

I love a nice clean looking aqua shade, and this one has a squishyness to it, don't ya think?
