Girly Bits Cosmetics: Hiss and Lear

*This product is Cruelty Free 


Girly Bits
Hiss and Lear



Listen here! Get it? Hiss and Lear? I love spoonerisms!

I couldn't even do a proper preview collage for this one because it has SO MANY personalities! Hiss and Lear is a multi-chrome and it has more color shifts than I thought were possible in one polish!

It just looks like a gorgeous green polish at first...



Although you can see on the index nail that it just might not be that straightforward!

As always, NONE of the photos you are going to see have been color-altered in any way.

Gobi is part of the upcoming Mongolia Collection and it's a color-shifting holographic sand color. The formula is smooth and easy and application was a dream. I used two coats of this one and one light coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. The Gobi Desert in Mongolia has nothing on this baby.

Darling Diva Polish Junkie

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 


Tonight I have the 3rd new Darling Diva holographic, color-shifting top coat to show you: Polish Junkie! Click the links to see Seduction and Cray Cray that I posted already.

Polish Junkie is described by the maker as follows: This is a clear topcoat that produces a linear holo. Added to the craziness is color shifting pigment that shifts from turquoisey green to blue. My holo topcoat is different from the rest because I use 5 different holographic mediums.

I used one coat of Polish Junkie over a plain black creme, although this can be layered over almost any color. I thought the black showed it off best for the purposes of deciding whether to purchase. No issues at all to report. Formula was great.

First in artificial lighting...

Crows Toes - springTHIS Collection




Good Afternoon!!! Right now, I have a brand new collection from Crows Toes to show you! This one is called "springTHIS" and will be available starting Monday, April 1, 2013 - so stay with me to the end of the post for more details about the launch, availability, etc.


Crows Toes springTHIS Collection 2013


This collection launches Monday, April 1, 2013 and consists of nine new polishes. Well, there are seven individual polishes and a duo.






When I first saw these in the bottles I thought they were going to be mostly sheer - layering polishes. But I didn't have to layer even ONE of them! That made me a very happy girl! The formula on all of them was great and I had no issues at all. So let's get started! How about alphabetically?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BIRTHDAY SUIT - this is a nude shimmer polish with a color-shifting shimmer/micro-flakes that go from pink to pink copper to gold. Three coats, no top coat.

Well there you have them! What do you think? I was pleasantly surprised with the formula on all of them and quite a few surprised me with all the color shifts. I don't know if I can pick out just one favorite of this collection. Season of the Witch? Yeah, I'm going with that one. The two glitter polishes really surprised me too!
