Girly Bits Slapdash Collection

Oh hey there - today I am going to share with you all my swatches from the Slapdash collection releases by Girly Bits.

I was introduced to this collection, and to the line itself, by my awesome pal Silver - I think we both knew that I needed to have the polish 'Banana Hammock' in my life asap - but that is besides the point!

Unfortunately when I put my order in, Cu Blue was out of stock - Pam had contacted me and gave me a few options on what I could do about the out of stock lovely.. I told her to just grab another polish and toss it in with the rest.. Side note: I love these polish and will have to complete the collection at some point in time.


As I mentioned, Cu Blue was out of stock, so in its place I received Sailors Delight - and I'm actually pretty happy about it - I feel that gem fits right in with the rest of these bad boys!


Banana Hammock.. A great name and a great polish! I freaking LOVE yellow nail polish.. Though sometimes I feel my skin tone looks a little strange with it - I honestly do not care. I'd wear it no matter what! This is a great banana yellow (obviously..) with some light blue shimmer tossed in - you cannot really see it in this photo - but trust me, it is there. This is 4 coats.


Glo Worm. Green. Bright. Golden yellow shimmer. LOVE! I think if I went with one more coat - it would have been perfect.. Or I could toss something underneath.. It is amazing. This is 3 coats.


Jelly Shoes.. It is stunning. In this photo, you can see the shimmer this polish gives off. It is bright and wonderful.. And of course the name has me thinking of those classy summer jelly sandals.. This is only 2 coats!


Arctic Sunrise.. At first, looking at this polish in the bottle, I was sort of like 'oh, meh'.. Then I put it on and basically starting fist pumping - the shimmer really makes this polish something special. It is purple-y and lovely. This is 3 coats.


And my random toss in - Sailors Delight. It is a blood orange colour with extra orange shimmer. I know it doesn't belong in this specific collection, but I do not feel like it is out of place - it fits right in - and I'm really quite happy to have it as a part of my collection now. This is 4 coats.

Overall I am extremely happy with these colours. They don't say summer, they scream it in your face with a healthy dusting of shimmer. I can see some fun skittle activity with these at some point!!

Also, Pam was a delight to talk to during the process of trying to figure out what to do about Cu Blue. AND.. this is all based in Canada. I didn't know - and when the package arrived, I was jazzed. If any of you get a chance, go check out her polish - they are lovely and definitely well worth it!!

ALSO.. I did get in contact with the winner of Sicks 'n Stones - Faiza Q had that gem shipped off to her last Friday, so hopefully it arrives somewhat soon - just because the waiting game kind of sucks!!

AND.. my friend Tina, from my nail polish birthday group, started up a blog of her own - so you should go check it OUT

I have also added a little link on the side bar (on the right) to my newly made facebook fan page, as well as a link to my twitter. I think that is all I had to catch up on..

Well, have an awesome day everyone! See you all again soon!!

Canada Day - Saran Wrap Style

I had said the other day that I would be using the Saran Wrap method again soon.. And I really did mean soon. I figure it was the perfect way to celebrate Canada Day (nail-wise) without over-doing it.. I mean, I'm fairly patriotic as a rule, but sometimes sporting a Maple Leaf on my fingers isn't exactly my style.. ANYways.. See? The love is there with the red and white.. I know I said the next time I did the saran wrap method, I was going to try with three colours.. But, I think I will maybe leave that experiment for tomorrow - today is only about these two colours! So.. How I get to this? Well, allow me to show you. Start off with the colours of your choice - one as the base, and one as your.. distress-er? And some saran/cling wrap. I take two pieces and ball them up.. You could use more or less.. But I figure two hands, two, er, balls. Yikes. After your base has COMPLETELY DRIED (you can do these a couple of hours in advance, the night before, or even use some

Day 27: The Hungry Asian Cookies (and) Cream

Hey everyone! I decided that for today and tomorrow (my last day - eeek!) that I would choose two polish that mean something to me. Today I am going to be sharing Cookies & Cream made by the awesome Kae aka The Hungry Asian. When I first started blogging, I immediately started following her. She is the reason behind many of my polish purchases.. heh. She started "frakening" polish awhile back.. and I had a HUGE lemming for Cookies & Cream - but, at the time, she wasn't shipping to Canada. Then, when she started to ship to Canada, I would always miss the restock times.. Then I just sort of.. forgot about it. Then, a little while back, while stumbling through all the amazing gems on etsy.. I saw a photo.. I didn't need to see the seller or the name.. I knew. It was ordered almost immediately. And it has sat.. until now. It still makes me heart smile. And now that it is mine? Constant smiling heart! I decided to not use undies on this. It is

Terrazzo Inspired Nails

 Hey everyone! Will speed-race past a whole 'sorry I have been away' write-up and just go straight to the goods. I apologize in advance for my VERY dry cuticles (I cleaned up as much as I could in edit mode.. but, still bad) - I have been applying oil and lotions multiple times per day for.. weeks.. and.. no beneficial results, sadly. I went with terrazzo print inspired nails for this go-round. I started with a base coat, then OPI I Cannoli Wear OPI, then, using the brush for the each nail polish, I went in with: OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops, OPI Sailing & Nail-ing, OPI Amazon...Amazoff, China Glaze Liquid Leather, China Glaze Sweet Hook, Essie Chinchilly, Color Club Je Ne Sasi Quoi, and Sally Hansen White On - then finally topped with Seche Vite. I am hoping to slowly creep back into regularly posting new content here - so, stay tuned!
