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!

Pink Pedicure Wednesday

What is this!?!? a normal blog post?
*blinking eyes*
Yes! A blog post.
Wow, I miss blogging. A lot.
However, as much as I have requested an extension, there still seems to be only 24 hours in a day. I would even settle for a few extra days in a week. =)

Yesterday, I did a cute pedi on a customer, so I thought I would share. So yes this is cheating a little, but it's still my work, and it fits with the pink Wednesday theme.

For the base coat I used  OPI Shorts Story- which for the record is one of my all time favourite pinks.
You can see my post with it alone, and with Connect the Dots HERE
One of my fave mani's actually.

On top of two coats of Shorts Story, I did a row of dots on each big toe, using Sinful Snow me White, OPI Pink Friday, Zoya Dana, and OPI Ate Berries in the Canaries.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for looking.

2nd Shipping/Health update

I apologize if this seems like an unprofessional or impersonal way to do this, but I can't think of a better way to get this info out.

I want to thank you all, for your words of advice and concern. I had started to feel a little better on Monday, but I spoke too soon.
I am taking the rest of today off, and going to bed.
I will see how I feel in the morning. I have a few hours tomorrow that I can work on shipping if I am feeling ok, and Friday is out because I have a wedding party coming in at 7 am for up-do's and I am also supposed to be attending the wedding. So there is a possibility that shipping won't resume again until Saturday. I am sorry. 
I have the most amazing employee ever, who will be able to keep picking orders for me, so that when I can get back into shipping, I will be all set to go.

I have received many emails of support and I realize that people are kind and understanding when it comes to things like this that are out of my control. So, I am posting this not because I think that people are going to be angry, but just as an update, so you know where I am at with it, and that I have taken your advice, and I am going to get some rest. I am realizing that if I don't take care of this now, I may end up even worse off.

I expect to awaken renewed and refreshed, and ready to dive back into what I love doing- which is making polish, and sharing it with people that love it.

Forever grateful,
♥Pam♥

Shipping update

Just a quick post, to update you on shipping etc. I had posted an update on facebook, but I realize not everyone has facebook.

Shipping has resumed today. I have been out of commission with a nasty chest infection, and shipping was originally delayed because of combining orders and refunding shipping overages. This unfortunately affected all orders, not only the ones that needed adjustments. One bunch went out this morning, and an entire slew of them have been packed and are just awaiting shipping labels.

Thank you for your understanding.

Calendar Girls Part 2 - May to August

Calendar Girls Collection

by Girly Bits

The first part of the Calendar Girls Collection was released in February 2012, with the first four shades in the year long series. 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 third set available in August/September, completing the collection. July has three colours- one representing Canada Day ( July 1st), one representing Independence Day ( July 4th), and one representing Bastille Day (July 14th)

I have moved my sales over to Big Cartel, and I think this will make for easier ordering and processing.

I have posted the new shades in the store for preview, and I plan on restocking tomorrow, Wednesday May 02 at 12:00 noon EST.

Tomorrow will  be a relatively small restock, to test out the new ordering system. I will have another small re-stock on Saturday, May 5th in the evening to accommodate other time zones as well.

I am sure some of you are aware of the lack of base right now. Once that issue is resolved, I should be able to restock on a more regular basis, in larger numbers.

You can check out the new store HERE.

I have yet to add shipping, as I am still working on that, but the rates will be similar to previous sales, except it will be more of a flat rate based on destination.

Here are a few shots of the newest colours, but please head over to the new store to check out the entire collection, as well as some new products- Glitter, spectraflair, and coming soon- a franken starter kit.

Cheers!!
