Girly Bits - Hot Shot!

We're expecting MORE FREAKING SNOW in Wisconsin this week! GRRRR! Seriously Mother Nature, you can stop with the snow...we get it. This California native is ready for spring!

When I received Girly Bits 'Hot Shot' from her P.S. I Love You collection I was SO excited! If you've read my blog for any length of time you've probably figured out that I'm a huge pink girl so pink + holo = DREAM. YAY! Something bright and fun to liven up my snow white world.

In the sun, Girly Bits 'Hot Shot' is a bright, borderline neon (HOT) pink with a gorgeous linear holo, but indoors with artificial light 'Hot Shot' becomes this gorgeous, classy, almost dusty pink. With 1 coat of SV on top it looks like glass and wears like Kevlar. Seriously, I've had this baby on for 5 days and there is virtually no sign of wear. It applied like a dream, no bubbles, no lumps, just perfect application. It also cleaned up nicely and left zero shimmer/holo residue around my cuticles. As far as whether you'll need a special base or top coat for this holo, I would say no -- I used my usual, Seche Clear and Seche Vite, and it was absolutely stunning.

This is 3 coats of 'Hot Shot', with 1 coat of Seche Vite.














'Hot Shot' is available now right here, or you can find it as part of Girly Bits' 'P.S. I Love You trio with Twitterpated and A Mother's Love.

Girly Bits - Erin Go Bragh-less

Girly Bits - Erin Go Bragh-less
Oooooh do I have a 'pretty' to share with you today! This is going to be another picture heavy post so for those of you who read Fox Claws on your mobile device I apologize in advance...sorta. There were so many gorgeous photos of this one that narrowing them down was an impossible task.

When I was contacted by Pam from Girly Bits about doing some reviews for her I thought it was a joke. ME? Really? REALLY! I'm surprised you guys didn't hear me SQUEEEEE because I am pretty sure I did a lap around my living room in elation! Of course I jumped at the chance to work with such an iconic indie brand, and when I received my first (of hopefully many) press kits I didn't even make it through the front door before I had ripped the package open. (Yeah, yeah, whatever Cara..get to the good stuff!)

Erin Go Bragh-less. LOL! How hilarious is that? I like the way Erin thinks! Even if I hated this polish (I don't, BTW!) I would have had to get my hands on it just for the name. Girly Bits 'Erin Go Bragh-less' is a gorgeous bright green jelly loaded with various sizes and shapes of green and gold glitter. GOR-JUS! There was absolutely zero glitter placement with this one, just swipe and go. The jelly seemed to be the perfect thickness - not too goopy, not too thin. Some of my nails are so arched that jellies and crellies have a tendency to slide off the top of the nail and settle in thick clumps on the side, but this one stayed exactly where I put it, and it smoothed out very well. I could have gotten away with 2 coats but I really loved how the color built up with each coat so I went with 3 with an additional half coat on my ring finger.

This is 3 coats of Erin Go Bragh-less with 2 coats of Seche Vite. Click the photos to enlarge them.
