Hello!
Girly Bits does a lot of things well--gorgeous polishes, amazing shop, great stamping polish, and even a great stamping plate. But what I love best about what they do are their multi-purpose cremes, that are great to wear, and great for stamping as well--because they make my nail art choices super easy. :)
So let's take a look at Pam's newest Fall 2018 cremes! I did a video reviewing the polishes, which shows the formula and how well they pick up and stamp (my lighting made them a little camera shy over black, however, so check the swatches below for an accurate look at how well they show up over black):
First up, Girly Bits Boys 'n' Berries, a deep berry creme:

Coverage: This is a one coater!
Formula: Excellent--no problems.
Stamping: Gorgeous and rich over white, does show up over black, but it was a little camera shy. I managed to get a macro that shows how it looks over black, since in the full shot it doesn't show up as much as in real life.
Next up, Girly Bits Eggplant One On Me, an aubergine creme:

Coverage: This is a one coater!
Formula: Excellent--no problems.
Stamping: Gorgeous and rich over white, and still shows over dark! I was impressed, since the color itself is so dark. I didn't expect it to show up at all, but boosh! The effect is more subtle than some of the others, but it's definitely visible.
Then we have Girly Bits Forget Me? Not!, a cornflower blue creme:
 |
| Girly Bits Forget Me? Not! |
Coverage: This is a one coater!
Formula: Excellent--no problems.
Stamping: Stamping perfection over both black and white.
Then there's Girly Bits Just The Flax, Ma'am a light taupe creme:

 |
| Girly Bits Just The Flax, Ma'am |
Coverage: I'm wearing two coats.
Formula: Excellent--no problems.
Stamping: This reads off-white over black, and I was impressed that it showed up over white--it's a subtle effect because it's so similar to white, but still definitely visible.
Next up is Girly Bits Petal To The Metal, a bright raspberry creme:
 |

Coverage: One coater!
Formula: Excellent--no problems.
Stamping: Beautiful over white, this one was hard to see over black.
Next we have Girly Bits Purple Heyyyys, a blue-leaning purple creme:

Coverage: This is a one coater!
Formula: Excellent--no problems.
Stamping: Stamping perfection over both black and white.
Then we have Girly Bits Rust In The Wind, a rust-red creme:
 |
| Girly Bits Rust In The Wind |
 |
| Girly Bits Rust In The Wind |
Coverage: This is a one coater!
Formula: Excellent--no problems.
Stamping: Gorgeous over white, visible but hard to read over black.
Additional issues: This didn't stain my nails, but I did find that it bled UP. What do I mean by that? When I stamped white over this, it turned the white stamping yellow (you can see a tinge of this in my stamping above. So, if you're going to stamp white over this polish, but a coat of topcoat over the polish before you stamp. :)
Then there's Girly Bits Saffron, Saffroff, a sunflower yellow creme:
 |
| Girly Bits Saffron, Saffroff |
 |
| Girly Bits Saffron, Saffroff |
Coverage: This is a one coater!
Formula: Excellent--no problems.
Stamping: Stamping perfection over both black and white.
Finally, we have Girly Bits You Can't Handle The Spruce, a deep evergreen creme:
 |
| Girly Bits You Can't Handle The Spruce |
 |
| Girly Bits You Can't Handle The Spruce |
Coverage: This is a one coater!
Formula: Excellent--no problems.
Stamping: Perfection over white, and visible over black--which surprised me. A more subtle effect than some of the others, but still definitely there--impressive for such a dark color!
So there you have it--gorgeous cremes in their own right, in colors I think are great for fall and for the holiday season, and impressive stamping capabilities. I adore how easy polishes like this make it to match your stamping to the base colors you use in your manicure.
