Girly bits: Fall part 1
I'm excited to share these Girly bits creams with you and I'm going to tell you why.
They are all one coat wonders, self leveling, have a buttery smooth application, dry glossy and they stamp and water marble beautifully.
Butternut Leave Me
A mustard creme with orange undertones.
One coat with topcoat.
Stamped with Walnuts About You and Lina plate 03
It's Near Leaf All
A beautiful leaf green/ avocado green creme with yellow undertones.
One coat with topcoat.
Stamped with Sea You Next Fall and Flowers 14 plate, white dots added with a dotting tool.
Stump Up the Jam
A deep espresso brown creme.
One coat with topcoat.
Stamped with Walnuts About You and Lina plate 03 and Tian Xin plate 16.
Sea You Next Fall
A teal leaning ocean blue creme.
One coat with topcoat.
Stamped with Stump Up the Jam and Vivid Lacquer plate 14
Walnuts About You
A mid tone mink brown creme.
One coat with topcoat.

Not only are these shades pretty but they're a game changer. They pick up and transfer perfectly for stamping the first time, every time I stamped. They roll off the stamper beautifully, and clean up is a breeze. You need these, it would be crime not to have them in your stash.

Bane of My Existence is the November Polish Pickup contribution from Blush Lacquers.

It is a beautifully done olive/copper/green multichrome with holo flake. Two perfectly formulated coats painted on with the most amazing indie brush.
If you haven't tried a Blush polish yet, this one demonstrates the unique creativity of brand owner Victoria quite well.
You can get yours soon at the Polish Pickup shop!

Psyche's Beau: Exclusive Lilypad Lacquers
Phuong Huynh recently opened her online shop called Psyche's Beau. In it, she carries several brands such as A-England, Bow, DRK, Germanikure, Lilypad, Polished for Days, and Starlight & Sparkles.
Psyche's Beau's very first exclusive shades were created by Lilypad Lacquer. They're both neutral shades with a sparkly feminine touch. The formula of each was crelly-like and I wore three coats with topcoat for photos.
Erosé
Vintage mauve with aqua flash shimmer plus iridescent flakes.
Aquay
Faded aqua grey with pink flash shimmer plus iridescent flakes.
The shimmer in this was difficult to capture under bright lights, but is definitely there. It looked almost coppery to me while wearing it.
I've included a bottle shot in softer lighting below that shows the shimmer much better.
I also did a bit of nail art using MDU 63 stamping polish and Infinity plate 108. I love how it turned out!
My experience with Psyche's Beau was first as a customer.
I placed an order for a couple of DRK polishes and the Germanikure mani stick (that thing is amaze!!) and she approached me with a request to review.
With a kind demeanor and quick shipping, she's been a pleasure both to buy from and to review for.
If you haven't visited yet, please click the link to her shop and have a look around. Her website is fun to browse, even if you aren't quite ready to purchase.
Don't wait too long though, grab the exclusives before they sell out! With how pretty these are, I think they will be gone quickly.
