Bitzy Nail Color

                                                                                  *Nothing to disclose


          Good morning! It's Monday and I bring you a very mood accurate post today. A little bit of brightness, but mostly junk. My husband and I stopped at Sally's yesterday because I needed some Yellow Stopper and I had a 20% off coupon. Naturally, I started looking at everything there. It was a good thing I did because I FINALLY found a cotton ball grabber!! So, I grabbed a few things then head towards the counter to check out. My husband pointed out some mini polishes and said, "hey look, these are only $1.50". They were mostly pretty boring. I did manage to grab 2 that looked indie-ish and decided I needed them. Because polish lol :) So we pay and go home. I get right to work putting swatches in my swatch book. I decided to stay up past my bed time to get these babies swatched. Ya, let's see how that went...

Dilly Dally/Sweetie Pie


          I have never heard of Bitzy before so I went in with an open mind. Dilly Dally is the first polish I decided to swatch. Mostly because it is super neon. First coat was a little streaky. That wasn't an issue for me since a lot of neons have picky formulas. It also dried matte. Again, totally common with neons. Second coat was much better. Still not satisfied. Third coat. Not too shabby! It looked good enough but I could not leave it matte. It was so chunky. Didn't level much at all as far as glitter goes. I ended up using 3 coats of top coat just to get it smooth. I really love the color of this one but it is NOT worth it. Here is 3 coats of Dilly Dally with 3 coats of top coat...

          The next one is called Sweetie Pie. This one is a peachy yellow crelly polish with neon hex glitters in pink, orange, green, and yellow. It is so pretty in the bottle. Very springy! Let's get right to the point. Don't ever get this polish! The glitter was in clumps and the formula was sooooo streaky. I used 3 coats but could have used a 4th to even coverage. If I had used a 4th coat, 1) I would be mad and 2) I would have mounds of glitter. No bueno. Seriously, I know you may want to try it because its cheap and pretty... DON'T!! This polish also needed 3 coats of top coat to be kind of smooth. Ugh, just awful :(

          Since I did enjoy Dilly Dally enough, I did some nail art using the original Clear Nail Vinyls from Polished Vino, and some gems my mom got me. Chrissy has an awesome shop, awesome designs, awesome products, and amazing customer service! Make sure you check the links below to see what she has <3




          I hope I have saved you from making this small polish mistake. I wouldn't even feel right giving these away. I really do love the nail art I did though with the Clear Nail Vinyls. Have you tried this brand? Maybe a creme formula would be better? Let me know in the comments! Have a mostly happy Monday :)

Zoya ~ Rue

                                                                          *Nothing to disclose


          How are we doing this afternoon? I am sitting here with the biggest smile on my face. We just had our Christmas this past weekend because the girls were in Florida on actual Christmas. The girls got some great stuff and so did I! Of course my husband bought me some amazing polish. I also got a polish from my mom. I will show you that and one of the glitters today.

   The polish my mom gave me is Zoya Rue. It is a pink under toned neutral shade. Its the perfect nude for me. This was the polish that I never knew I always needed. It's wonderful. I used 2 thin smooth coats with top coat.





          I added one of my new glitters to Rue. Unfortunately it was a generic square bottle with only a name, no brand. The name is Kiss & Makeup. I can tell you it came from Five Below but thats about it. I had no idea how much I was going to like this glitter. I thought it was just hex shaped glitters until I swatched it in my swatch book. IT HAS LIP GLITTERS!! I was soooo freaking excited! Valentine's Day is coming up and this is just perfect <3 Besides the red lip glitters it also has lavender metallic, white matte, and micro red and silver holo glitters. Such a cute mix. I used one coat over Zoya Rue with a little placement for the lips. I sealed it again with top coat. I recommend a second coat of top coat to smooth the glitters. Also a peel off base coat for easy removal!
