Girly Bits Cosmetics Bridal Bliss Collection!

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)

Hello!


Today we're going to take a look at Girly Bits Cosmetics Bridal Bliss collection--both at swatches of the polishes, and at tests to see how they stamp. :)


Girly Bits Cosmetics Bridal Bliss Collection


First things first--I did a video review testing them out, so if you want to see them in action, here you go:



Okay, let's get up close and personal! First up is Girly Bits Cosmetics Betrothed, a pale periwinkle-purple creme:

Coverage: I'm showing two coats with topcoat.
Formula & application: Excellent.
Does it stamp?: Over black it shows well, and keeps its color. Over white it does show up, but the effect is pretty subtle.

I should also mention, all of the images I used to test the polishes are from Girly Bits Cosmetics GBC 1-01 stamping plate. :)


Next we have Girly Bits Cosmetics Hearts In Bloom, a cotton candy pink creme:

Coverage: I'm showing two coats with topcoat.
Formula & application: Good--I did find it a bit chalky.
Does it stamp?: This was the most impressive to me stamping wise--it shows up well over both white and black, and keeps its color well.



Next we have Girly Bits Cosmetics Let Love Grow, a minty green creme:

Coverage: I'm showing two coats with topcoat.
Formula & application: Excellent.
Does it stamp?: Over black it shows well, although the color washes out a bit. The color stays true over white, but it's pretty darn subtle.


Next up is Girly Bits Cosmetics Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue, a smoky robin's-egg-type blue creme:

Coverage: I'm showing two coats with topcoat.
Formula & application: Excellent.
Does it stamp?: Over black it shows well, and keeps its color. Over white it barely shows up--so much that I have to count this as a no-go over white.


 Then we have Girly Bits Cosmetics Peach, Love, and Joy, a soft peach creme:

Coverage: I'm showing two coats with topcoat.
Formula & application: Excellent.
Does it stamp?: Over black it shows well, but loses a bit of the peach color. Gorgeous over white.


And then finally we have Girly Bits Cosmetics Strapless, a wunder-neutral taupe creme:

Coverage: I'm showing two coats with topcoat.
Formula & application: Excellent.
Does it stamp?: I'm crazy impressed at how well this stamps over both white and black. This is my favorite of the collection, both as a regular and stamping polish.


So, here's a summary of the stamping capabilities:

And here's a look at all the swatches together:

All in all, this is a beautiful collection for spring or for Brides who don't want to wear white. The quality is excellent, and there are a several really good stampers in here.


You can find this collection now in the Girly Bits Cosmetics store! And in the meantime you can follow them around the interwebs here:

But do they stamp?: Girly Bits Warrior Goddess collection

(Press samples ahead!)

Hello!


A while back I showed you this mani, which feature Girly Bits Warrior Goddess collection cremes as both base mani and stamping polish. This drove me to test and see if all of the polishes were stampable, and I found out they are! Take a look at this stamping awesomeness:


First up, Yes, We Can and Irreplaceable:

Girly Bits Yes, We Can and Irreplaceable over white and black
Girly Bits Yes, We Can and Irreplaceable over white and black

Yes, We Can stamped beautifully over white, and was faint over black. Irreplaceable stamped well over both.


Next, Denim & Diamonds and Ambition:


Girly Bits Denim & Diamonds and Ambition over white and black
Girly Bits Denim & Diamonds and Ambition over white and black


I love how well both of these show up over white--I have no stamping polishes with these muted shades--and Ambition even shows up over black!


And then we have Love Yourself First and Beautiful Soul:


Girly Bits Love Yourself First and Beautiful Soul over white and black
Girly Bits Love Yourself First and Beautiful Soul over white and black



Both of these show up over both colors, which is impressive, but the hue doesn't show up quite as distinctly over white.


So if you already have the polishes, pull 'em out and use 'em to stamp with, and if you were on the fence about getting them, here's another reason to snap 'em up!
