Girly Bits Cosmetics - Peel Here and Remember Aja

 .

Today I have used two of my Girly Bits polishes. The name 'Girly Bits' always makes me chuckle. If you know the creator, Pam, you will understand she has a wonderful sense of humour.

The main shade I have used is a grey called 'Peel Here'. There is a story to the name and it goes something like this: Pam's daughter, when very young was asked what was the name of a particular OPI polish. Now, if you are familiar with OPI, you will know that all of their labels at the bottom of the bottle, say 'Peel here' to reveal another label with ingredient and safety information as well as the name of the polish.

This grey is slightly holographic, has a silver and I think a pink shimmer. It is a very subtle polish. The first coat is a bit wishy washy, vague and uninspiring. Add another coat and it morphs into a rich elephant skin colour, creamy and self levelling. An easy polish to work with despite an awkward start!

The purple colour is a fabulous purple. It was created to remember Aja, a young girl who died in tragic circumstances. The proceeds go towards a fund in her memory.

The polish applies superbly, needs one or two coats, and dries smoothly and quickly. It has a linear and scattered effect, one of those grainy type of holo effects. If this finish has a proper name, I don't know it! Please let me know if you do!

Both polishes are available from http://www.girlybitscosmetics.com/.

Girly Bits Week

Hello!

I decided to go through my stash and devote a week to one brand. The first in my series of one brand a week is Girly Bits. I love almost everything Pam makes!

I had neglected these polishes for too long, most of the Halloweens were untried. The biggest surprise was how much I loved the Stormy Skies. I had decided it was too pale for me but instead I discovered it is a lovely pale grey-blue. The bright sparkles of  Smurf Dance hides any shyness it might have!

Girly Bits - Heirloom

Hello!
Today is back to school day here in the UK for most students and school children. That means the house is very quiet!

I have used a Christmas polish today, Heirloom by Girly Bits. This is part of Pam's Christmas 2012 collection and is the only one of the set I have. It isn't particularly Christmas themed in the sense of the traditional and popular colours of the season. All of the polishes in the collection are lovely but something grabbed me with Heirloom. Maybe it was the mix of muted colours, unusual and subtle, but eye catching too.

I decided to apply the glitter over my plain black Red Carpet Manicure gel. This is a super glossy black. Nothing more, nothing less. 

I dabbed Heirloom at the nail tips with the aim of trying out a gradient effect. The glitters are fairly small, shiny and a mix of copper, silver and plum. The base is fluid and to be honest, this made dabbing a little awkward as the glitter tended to float away from where it was placed. It dried quickly and lies flat on my nails and feels quite smooth. A quick coat of Seche Vite added more smoothness and a lovely gloss
