Girly Bits Jini Goes Indie!

I'm not usually a huge fan of multicoloured glitterbombs, but I couldn't resist trying out the matte cheerfulness of Girly Bits Jini Goes Indie! I tried to tone it down a bit by using Hello Darling Sage Advice (dark olive) and Essie Da Bush (light olive) for the base.

Verdict? I like it! I wouldn't say I *love* it - the irregular glitters didn't like lying down flat on my nails, and a lot of top coat was required to flatten it out. But it's gone in my "use again soon" drawer.

Funky green! Essie Pretty Edgy + Salon Perfect Zapped + Pahlish Legra; 1956 + Girly Bits Street Magic

For some odd reason, I wanted a green manicure. With a deeper green. I dug out Essie: Pretty Edgy and actually wore it on its own for a few days. When I saw some tipwear, I decided to add some glitter on top.

I love matte glitters, and got my hands on all of the Salon Perfect matte glitters. I layered Zapped over my nails to create a gradient. It looked really cool, other than the downside that the mani looked thick on a few fingers.

I then received Pahlish: Legra; 1956 in the mail from a little haul and figured it would look cool over the whole mani, and it did. The neon green satin hex glitters and the gold circle glitters added a different dimension.

Then I added another layer of Girly Bits: Street Magic over it just for some additional sparkle.

It ended up being a lot of layers. But I love it :)

It looks pretty radioactive! It's going to be a pain to take off, though...

Happy Independence Day! Nails Inc. Baker Street + Girly Bits: Canadian Eh?

Okay, I admit, kind of funny using a name that references another country in the polish, also the fact that Nails Inc. is from the UK... but I felt the combo was too perfect for July 4. :D

I did 2 coats of Girly Bits: Canadian Eh? over Nails Inc. Baker Street. Girly Bits: Canadian Eh? is a glitter topcoat polish consisting red and white glitters of different sizes in both hex and squares. There's also a beautiful microshimmer that really adds awesome depth to it. I didn't realize that it had it until I applied it. AND I LOVE IT! :)

I think Nails Inc. Baker Street is fast becoming one of my most favorite polishes. It takes 2 coats and it's just amazing.

Did you do a patriotic manicure for July 4?
