Girly Bits Mint To Be swatches

Girly Bits Mint To Be was designed as a base to be worn under glitter toppers. It is a bright minty green. Formula was good. After two coats I had almost perfect coverage, but did notice a few spots that were lighter, so I did do a third coat. Top coat nicely evened everything out. Please excuse the colour of my fingers in the photos. Mint greens tend to rebel with my skin tone!

Indie Polish Mauve Over Pink

Indie Polish is a Canadian indie polish maker that has been operating for just over a year. You can find Tanya's Etsy shop HERE. One of the things I love is that there is always new polish being added to the shop. You don't have to wait for a seasonal collection.

So, today I have Mauve Over Pink to show you. The colour is pretty self explanatory given the name! This is described as a crelly, but I call it a straight up jelly. At three coats I still had vnl. That being said, the application was nice and smooth and dried quite shiny. I think this would look great as part of a jelly sandwich. Photos are without top coat.

Rainbow Honey Summer 199X

Today I have three shades from Rainbow Honey's Summer of 199X collection. Lumine Hall, Pink Cloud and I Miss You.

Lumine Hall is an indigo jelly based glitter polish with iridescent squares thrown in. Slightly purple leaning in certain lighting. Three coats were needed for full coverage. This dries a bit gritty, so make sure to use a good top coat. This does tend to clump on the brush a bit. Make sure to have a look before applying so you don't end up with a random glob on your nail!

Pink Cloud is a bright pink jelly with pink, silver and iridescent glitter. The first coat was very sheer, but with three coats I had complete coverage. The glitter gives a very nice flash to this polish. No issues with application. This was my favourite of the three.

I Miss You is a clear based glitter topper with pastel hearts, butterflies, squares and shimmer. I used one coat and then dabbed on some of the larger glitter. No fishing was needed, but you need to be careful of the larger glitter being stuck together. The large squares were the most elusive. A good top coat is needed to smooth this out. My base is Girly Bits Mint To Be.
