Girly Bits and Firecracker Lacquer Drinks on the Beach Duo

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  I've been a bit absent from the blog.  There's been quite a bit going on between job searching and a kidney infection that I'm still getting over, but I'm gradually getting back into the swing of things!

Today I have a duo from Girly Bits and Firecracker Lacquer to show you!  These were inspired by drinks by the water whether it be the pool, the beach, or even sprinklers.  There's nothing better than an ice cold drink by the water on a hot summer day and these seriously have me craving a day at the beach.  It's shameful that I live so close and rarely go!

This duo will be available for a 7 day pre-order from both FirecrackerLacquer.com and GirlyBitsCosmetics.com starting August 6th.  The duo will retail for $20 USD and $26.50 CAD (this price may change based on the exchange rate August 6th).

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  Today I'm showing you Pahlish's January Duo collectively called Test Shaft 09!  This portal themed duo has a creme polish as well as a gorgeous topper that I've come to know Pahlish for.

Pahlish Zulu Bunsen is a squishy neon coral creme that leans heavily orange/red and changes it's leanings depending on the lighting and skin tone.  The formula on this is a little thick, but it still applies easily.

This is 2 coats.

Pahlish Moon Rock Dust.  This is a topper with a clear base and lots of holo, silver and gold flakes as well as iridescent glitter and violet shimmer.  Formula is perfect.

This is 1 coat over Zulu Bunsen.

This duo will be available through the month of January, so be sure to get yours before they're gone and maybe even pick up some other goodies from the shop while you're there!  And as always be sure to check out Pahlish at the following spots.

Delush Polish Dames of Thrones Swatches and Review

Press Sample

All you Game of Thrones fans gather round!  Delush Polish is releasing a fall collection inspired by the women of Games of Thrones called Dames of Thrones!  The collection consists of 7 glittery polishes and will be release September 25th 12pm EST.

*Just a general note on application before the review.  Because these are all glitters and quite a few have larger glitters, be sure to wait a bit between coats to avoid dragging the glitter!  Also, I did not do any glitter placement techniques when swatching these.  I gave them a good shake and applied straight out of the bottle.  All swatches are topped with top coat.

On to the swatches!
