Calendar Girls - the newest Girly Bits collection, part 1

Calendar Girls Collection
by Girly Bits

January Morning - Promise Me - Magically Delicious - Hippity Hop

The concept is, that the full collection will have a colour that represents each month of the year. It will be released in 3 sets, with the next set available in April/May, and completing the collection with the last set being released in August/September. July will have two colours- one representing Canada Day ( July 1st) and one representing Independence Day ( July 4th).


 January Morning (January)  
A sheer sparkly white, with flashes of pink and blue. Like freshly fallen snow. This one is inspired by my Dad. You can read the story behind this polish by clicking here.
Purchase of this polish comes with a copy of the story/memorial. 

 One coat of January Morning, over white.



 Promise Me (February) 
 Holographic and opalescent hex glitter, and pin point holo glitter, floating in a sparkling pink. Soft and feminine. This one is inspired by my oldest daughter, who is a singer. She is releasing her first album of originals soon, and one of the songs is called Promise Me. 
Purchase of this polish comes with a copy of this song.

 Three coats of Promise me, with no undies.



Magically Delicious (March) 
Tiny green holographic glitter, in a clear base, along with gold squares, and gold hex glitter. 
Representing the Luck of the Irish, and a Pot of Gold.



One coat of Magically Delicious, over China Glaze Jolly Holly.

 Hippity Hop (April) 
Multi coloured pastel and holo glitter, and tiny purple glitter,  in a translucent sparkling  purple base. 
It's like little holo Easter eggs.

Two coats of Hippity Hop, over various base colours, and three coats alone (at 3 o'clock)


Due to popular demand, Shift Happens will also be available, but it is not part of the Calendar Girls collection.


 Thank you to Jen at The PolishAholic 
for allowing me to use her swatch of Shift Happens, above.




All lacquer bases are B3Free, and are hand poured using glitters and pigments. 
They are available in full size, 15ml bottles, as well as 5ml mini bottles. (mini bottles are not shown above, and do not have the new custom label, but rather the original label, with just the lacquer name.)
Both sizes come embellished with a Swarovski crystal.


 Thank you all for your love and support.

SoFlaJo Review and swatches of Dragon Heart

Happy Tuesday, polish lovers of the land =) or Happy Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras, or Day before Wednesday, or how ever you recognize today. Heck, it might even be your birthday, so if it is- Happy Birthday!

Today I have for you, some swatches and a review of  a new Indie line of polish called SoFlaJo. There are many terms floating around, that refers to hand poured nail polish- Indie, hand made, hand poured, home made, frankens,  they basically all refer to the same type of product. Indie, or hand poured is the term that I have been using, but really it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other. Sort of like how people use the terms soda, or soda pop, or pop, or even coke- to refer to canned or bottled beverages like coke, pepsi, 7-up or whatever.

Today's post features a relatively new member of the Indie community, SoFlaJo. Jody has released her first collection, called Year of the Dragon, with 8 sparkling, colour changing top coats, which can be applied over a variety of different base colours, for different effects.

 Jody packages her polishes with all kinds of fun things. And a little ribbon around the top of the polish, in a colour that co-ordinates with the colour changing effect of that polish.

The hand written labels on the bottom, show the names of the colours.

The backside of the bottles, so you can see what the colours look like.


Here, I have applied one coat of Dragon Heart over OPI Get in the Espresso Lane, and a topcoat of SV.

It applies smoothly,  and easily.

I applied it fairly thick, because I really wanted the colour changing effect to show, but you could easily get away with a thinner application.


You can easily see the colour changing effect, as well as sparkles.

Dragon Heart would look fabulous over any dark colour. It gives the illusion of being a multichrome polish, with the added bonus of giving different looks over different bases.

You can visit Jody's shop by clicking here.
Her bottles are 5ml mini's, and are $5.00 each.
Shipping with in the US, is $2 for the first bottle, and 50 cents for each additional bottle.
International shipping is $3.00 for the first bottle, and 75 cents for each additional bottle.


Thank you for looking, and check back soon for announcements about the date and time for the next Girly Bits sale, featuring a new collection.
