I love some Girly Bits

 Hello everyone today I have for you a review for Girly Bits Polish made by Pam from Girly Bits. Pam has a collection out called Sea's The Day and today's post you will see 2 of those colors from that collection!


This is the whole collection aren't they beauties! 

Here is how Girly Bits comes wrapped I love it! The colors I received are Purple Potion and Denim Diva.

Here is a closeup of the Girly Bits sticker that comes on your package. I love it!

Let's get started this Beautiful color is Denim Diva! This is 3 thin coats of Denim Diva which is a great dusty blue that has shimmer that shines in the shade or sun! This blue sings to my blue polish loving heart!  Here are the pictures.







Denim Diva went on smooth and she didn't need a top coat either oh yes that is right no top coat!


Now on to my favorite color in the world Purple! This is 3 thin coats of Purple Potion...oh man did Pam make a winner with this one!! Purple Potion is a purple base with purple, fuchsia, copper, indigo, and green glitter and it also has Holographic glitter! Oh how much is this color just made for me?! Let's get to the pictures...






All this glitter isn't it wonderful? It was a tad rough that you can get with glitter but a top coat fixed that right up! I couldn't stop looking at my nails when I had this on.

The formula on both of these polishes are everything you want in a polish normal dry time,  great shine. 

Now I know you want to get your hands on some Girly Bits here is the ordering info page.  Pam ships from Canada and only accepts pay pal right now.  These Girly Bits are so worth it!

Water Marble!

I have been reading My Simple Little Pleasures for awhile thinking that I would try water marbling...I did give it a shot before with my niece's hand but it just didn't work...this weekend I had some free time and after watching MSLP videos the night before I got a bug...the colors I used Zoya Kelly as a base coat (2 coats) that I was testing to see if I wanted to wear it...I picked out a few colors that I thought might work

Klean Color-Pastel Purple
NYC-135A Love Me Red Cream
China Glaze-Rainbow
                    Temptation Carnation
OPI-DS Original
Sally Hansen-Purple Potion
                     Emerald City
I think I also had a few other pinks in this mix (thumb and index) but I didn't write those down.

Now I started with filtered water from my fridge and let it sit while I got set up. I put out my bowl, nail polish (unscrewed tops) , paper towels, and a bamboo skewer. I tested my water with my finger to see if it was warm enough...it wasn't I then put it in the microwave 10 seconds testing back on for 10 seconds. I started building my bulls eye and came out with this.. 

                                   
                                         v_v FAIL!

It is to thick and bubbles!  So I took out the color I thought that was messing with MY water marble WIN! By the end (ring and pinkie fingers) I was using only 3 or 4 of my original colors. My ring finger is what I was trying to achieve a nice little flower like design.


I just swirled the polish for my index finger, and tried to make a design for my free bird / middle finger and with my pinkie I dragged the points and then swirled the colors a bit and viola I was done..
                                          My favorite finger ^ soooo Pretty! that color next to Emerald City is Rainbow or Temptation Carnation...with Purple Potion also in the mix...



Now I will be trying this again with my easily found also nail polish my NYC, and Sally Hansen worked great so those will be in the bunch.  I love how the green shows up just beautifully it just POPS for me. Now I don't want to say it was easy job doing this I think with practice I will get better and since I like it so much I'm going to keep at it because I want to be able to wear a marble manicure!

Until next time have fun polishing!
