SlapDash ~ New collection

Good Friday afternoon!!

I have been so absent from the blog, and I miss is terribly. Of course my absence is due to furiously mixing and pouring and shipping. I can not thank you all enough for your amazing support, and I feel very blessed to be able to share my passion with you. It's been an amazing experience so far, and I am looking forward to what the future brings. We have many new things in store here at the house of Girly Bits.

Speaking of 'We', I would also like to give a HUGE thank you to Tara, my new employee, assistant, co-worker. She has been the sanity to my craziness, and I would be lost with out her. I am forever grateful to have her on board along with you, on this journey, following my gut and my heart, learning things along the way, never looking back, and having no regrets.

Thank you! ♥

Now. on to pics of the new collection!!

SlapDash Collection ~ Summer 2012

 SlapDash consists of 5 summer brights, all in a jelly finish, with shimmer and glass fleck.

 

Jelly Shoes is a fantastically bright hot pink, with a wicked pink/purple shifting shimmer. Totally tubular.

 

This is three coats, no undies.

 

 

 Banana Hammock is a medium yellow, that lies somewhere in between lemon and banana. Or perhaps two lemons and a banana? *rim shot*...Thank you, I'll be here all week =)
It has a gorgeous green shimmer, that is on the shy side

 This is three good coats, no undies.

As with most yellows, this one requires patience to apply, but it is worth it.

 

 Glo worm is a bright neon lime green with a fabulous golden yellow shimmer.

 

This is three coats, no undies.

 

 

Arctic Sunrise is a Sky Blue with fantastic pink shimmer that is not shy at all! I created this last year, and never found the right time to release it until now.

 Thank you to Amy at I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous, for her gorgeous swatch. You can see her other swatches of Girly Bits on her BLOG by clicking HERE.

 

Thank you yo Karine at Nailderella for the use of her swatch of Arctic Sunrise. 

 

 Cu Blue is a deep indigo, true jelly, with loads of copper shimmer that are not shy to come out and play.
If you are curious about the name- Cu is the elemental name for copper.

 

Three coats, no undies.

 

These are available on my store, as well as Llarowe.

My Facebook page  has the most up to date info on re-stocks, and other places you can buy Girly Bits.

At this point, I am trying to keep my distributors as well stocked as I can, and when I have them available in my store, I am trying to keep the inventory cap off, so their should not be an issue with a cart hold.

Our turnaround time is currently about 3 days, excluding weekends and holidays.

Thank you for looking!

80's inspired Nail Art and Feather Hair Extensions

♥Good day all♥

 I was looking for something bright and summery to do on my nails and with all the 80's inspired clothing trends I figured I could continue that on to the nail. My daughter had just come home from shopping with all these great clothes that look like she went shopping in 1984, and to go along with this she got some feather extensions put in her hair. They are really nice actually. Not over the top or obnoxious at all, and they blend quite nicely with her hair, and you simply wash and style your hair as you normally would. You can straighten and curl them too.  They will stay in for up to four months and you can re use them after you take them out.

You can see that she is clearly thrilled about me taking a pic of her hair when it is not clean or styled  lol

Here she has it up in a messy bun and I think it looks cute that way too.

Complete with retro glasses :)

For my nails, I started with a bright yellow base. I used Sally Hansen Insta-dri in Lightning which has always been one of my favourite yellows. Yellows are notoriously difficult to apply and can be streaky and need multiple coats for good coverage. Another recent favourite of mine is China Glaze Happy go Lucky from the Up and Away collection released in Spring 2010. It also has good coverage and is easy to apply. I chose the quick dry today because I wanted to add nail art.

I *cough* creatively placed my watermark over a dent that I clumsily put in my nail as I was reaching for the camera. 

After I let the yellow polish dry a bit, I put a stripe of white polish on a little less than half of my nail as a base for the stripes to make them pop more.

After the white dried a little, I used a thin striper brush and went over the white with a hot pink, a bright orange and a lime green, leaving tiny spaces between the white.

The lime green is quite sheer (as most lime greens are) so I did two coats of that one.

Hope you enjoyed a trip back to the 80's!

What is your favourite 80's movie? There were a ton of good ones. I think mine is Back to the Future.

Thanks for looking!
