Even More Girly Bits Swatches

Pin It

I shared some Girly Bits swatches with you the other day from a sizable order I received a few months back.

Now I have the second lot of swatches for you.

Girly Bits Fathomless

Fathomless is a dark teal jelly with blue/green iridescent micro-glitter. It's deep and dark, just as the name suggests! Two coats allows for full coverage.

Girly Bits OVbunEN over piCture pOlish Twinkle

OVbunEN is a mix of pastel mauve, yellow, pink, periwinkle blue and baby blue matte glitters plus holo micro-glitter and iridescent bar glitter; all in a clear base. It's very spring appropriate - like an easter egg! This is one coat over the shimmery lilac Twinkle.

Girly Bits Heirloom over OPI Pedal Faster Suzi!

Heirloom is a glitter topper with silver, pink (some square glitter) and wine hexes. I paired it with a shimmery light pink and it looks fabulous! I'm wearing two coats for fairly decent coverage.

Girly Bits Ornamental My Dear Watson over OPI Alpine Snow

Ornamental My Dear Watson is another glitter topper. It's an explosion of pink, blue, fuchsia and gold square and hex glitters. It adds a lot of sparkle and pizzazz over a number of bases but I love it over white! Again, I applied two coats for great coverage.

Girly Bits lacquers are available from a number of online stores as well as their own web store.

Christmas Wrapping Paper Manicures

Pin It

We're 3 days in to December so it's probably about time for some Christmas nail art!

I did a couple of wrapping paper manis using designs from BM-423

Konad Special Polish Green & BM423 stamped over The Polish Well Wrath

I'm brilliant at the accidentally crooked stamping, right?!

China Glaze Passion & BM423 stamped over The Polish Well Evil Witch

I'm actually pretty stoked with this mani because I managed to get all but the ring finger relatively straight!!!!!

What are you doing to get in to the Christmas spirit? Any one just getting in to the Christmas 'spirits'? :)

Emily de Molly Stamping Plate 01

Pin It

Emily de Molly has started making stamping plates! Two are already available (EDM01 & 02) and three more are coming soon. You have to take a look for yourself because these plates are the best I've ever seen - no joke.

I've used a couple of the patterns off EDM01 so far - enjoy.

The Polish Well Haru Haru stamped with Konad Special Polish White & EDM01

This is the pattern from the top right of the plate. It transfers perfectly for an intricate design (the middle finger is a mess because I'm a shit stamper).

The Polish Well Tonight stamped with A England Princess Sabra & EDM01

 This pattern is Emily de Molly's signature lace design featured on her business cards - from the bottom of the plate. It transferred perfectly too - though it may be hard to tell in the photos! 

I think I'm digging these pretty patterns because they have a delicate femininity about them (and don't seem at all childish like a lot of my stamping plates) and can all be used horizontally or vertically without screwing up the design.

01 & 02 are currently sold out but hopefully they will be back in stock when 03, 04 & 05 launch!

Saturday Spam: The Polish Well

Pin It

Exams are done - just have to wait for the results now....

The Polish Well makes some beautiful lacquers from time to time. I managed to place a pre-order for some of her newer shades recently and they did not disappoint! 

I only wish I'd bought full sized bottles instead of the minis!!!

The Polish Well Bad Boy

 Bad Boy is a muted slate/navy blue with multi-coloured micro-flake shimmer. Two coats.

The Polish Well Coraline

Coraline is a Halloween creation of teal blue jelly with green-blue micro-glitters and flakes. Two coats.

The Polish Well Evil Witch

Evil Witch is another Halloween colour, a forest green jelly with square and hex green glitter and coppery gold micro-glitter. Two coats.

 The Polish Well Love Dust

Love Dust is a real beauty, but man is this coral-pink a BITCH to photograph?! It is more pink than the photo suggests with gold micro-flakes and super fine pink/purple shimmer. This one is more sheer so it requires three coats.

The Polish Well Monster

 Monster is a close dupe for Butter London Two Fingered Salute. The oxidised copper green creme contains pale green shimmer and copper glitter flakes. Two coats.

The Polish Well Tonight

 Tonight is a warm grape jelly chock full with multi-coloured iridescent flakes. Two coats.

The Polish Well Wrath

Wrath is from the Seven Deadly Sins Collection; a red jelly, red and gold glitter. Three coats.

Hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving & Hanukkah are enjoying their holidays and to everyone else: Happy Weekend!
