Girly Bits - WET BIKINI

Today, I have an awesome polish for you from the Girly Bits line made by Pam Heil. It's called Wet Bikini and it's a glitter polish.

I have several of the Girly Bits polishes and I love all of them. When I saw this one out on the Girly Bits page, I knew I had to get it. I actually picked this one up in a blog sale for $9. It retails for $10 on the site.

For the base polish I went with OPI's Russian Navy. Since Wet Bikini is a bunch of blueish colored glitters in a clear base, I figured it would look awesome. Boy, did I underestimate myself!

Needless to say, I was floored by how pretty this is. In fact, I couldn't stop staring at my hands the rest of the day. The navy base coat really lets the different colors of blue glitter pop. I started with one coat of Wet Bikini, and loved it so much I put on one more!

I have lots of glitter polish and this is now, by far, my favorite! Everyone knows blue is my favorite color, and this is my dream polish combo!!
I think this reminds me alot of a flakie polish. Even though this is actual glitter, it reflects and moves like a flakie.

I'm always catching a new shade of blue when I move my hands around. And, the application of this polish is a dream. I had no clumps and no issues with the glitter not staying down. In fact, I put one layer of Color Club topcoat over it, and it was completely smooth!

I've had this on for about three days now, and I don't want to take it off! Pam does such a great job with her polishes. They retail between $10-12.50 on the Girly Bits site. They are also sold on LlaroweHarlow and Co and Mei Mei's Signatures. Right now, Wet Bikini is on sale at the Llarowe site for $9. Run and buy it!!!

Lots of pretty blue bling!
There are several other polishes from the Girly Bits collection I would recommend, including another blue beauty by Pam. It's called Roger That and it's a holographic polish made in the memory of Brady Rogers, a teenager who died in Pam's community. It's gorgeous and it's another color that's on my growing list of polishes I want from Girly Bits!!

Before I go, I wanted to share a pic of Zeke and Brinlee doing their favorite activity - napping!

Till next time,

Girly Bits - COSMIC OCEAN

Hello everyone!!
Today I have a really great polish for you. It's from the Girly Bits line, which is made by my polish friend Pam Heil. She does amazing work, and this polish is no exception! Pam sells her polishes through her website Pam's Girly Bits and will also be selling through llarowe sometime this month.

Girly Bits Cosmic Ocean

When I first saw Cosmic Ocean, I knew I had to have it. I mean it's a blue holographic polish! I think I love duochrome polishes more than glitter or flakies. This is a blue/green/purple duochrome polish, which is intended to be used as a topcoat.

For this picture I used the new Revlon Colorstay polish in Midnight. That polish is gorgeous on its own, but once you add a coat of Cosmic Ocean ---- WOW! I used a base coat of Sally Hansen Strengthner, one coat of Midnight, one coat of Cosmic Ocean and a topcoat of Seche Vite.

So sparkly and pretty!
Pam says on her website that it is very hard to capture this polish by camera and she's right. Being a duochrome it looks different in all types of light. Pam sells this color, along with many others on her site. A 5ml bottle is $6, while a 15ml bottle is $10. She ships from Canada, but it comes very quickly!

This is the really cute packaging the polish comes in! I love Pam's logo!

Here is one last picture I took of Cosmic Ocean. This is without a flash. 

You can see more of the green in this photo.

All I can say, is if you can get your hands on some Girly Bits polish, do it! It's a pleasure to deal with Pam and her polish is worth the money and the short wait. I'm already planning to place another order in the near future. 

Before I go, I wanted to share a picture of the nail mail/Walmart haul I got the other day. Along with Girly Bits, I also picked up four duochrome polishes from my friend Ashley Kersey at Polished Components. Tomorrow, I will have a review of one of her polishes called Earth's Day! It's stunning!
