The Digit-al Dozen Does Indie Love: Day 3! (Or, All Girly Bits, All Day Long)

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)



Hello!


Okay everybody, let's climb into the way-back machine and go back to Wednesday, when it was Day 3 of The Digit-al Dozen's Indie Love week...


::insert weird sound effect that accompanies flashbacks in 80s sitcoms::


For my other days during this theme, I've shown you several indies in a mani, one for the polish, one for the plate, etc. But today we're gonna take a look at an indie that can do all three: Girly Bits Cosmetics.


That's right--I'm sure you know they make awesome indie polishes, but did you also know they make awesome stamping polishes, and even put out their own stamping plate? Yep, it's true, and I love them all.


For today's mani, I wanted to use one of my very favorite polish collections of all time: Girly Bits Sequins & Satin Pants collection:

Girly Bits Sequins & Satin Pants Collection


Every polish in this collection applies like a dream, has amazing holo glitter, and is a fun, happy color. And, they all work together for just about everything--spring, summer, fall nail art, halloween nail art, even Christmas nail art. I've turned to these again and again and again.


You all know I have tragic, tragic watermarbling skills, so I decided now was the perfect time to try out my first drip marble--if these can't make an amazing look, I don't know what polishes can!


To complement my drip marble, I painted two of my nails with Le Freak, and then stamped with Girly Bits Silver Bells and then Ker-minty Frog Here, using Girly Bits plate GBC 1-01:

Here's how it all came out:

Can I say how stoked I am about that drip marble?! I will definitely be using this technique again, it's so easy and gives such great results. My favorite nail is that pinkie--just wow. I hoped all of the holo glitter goodness would come together, and boy, did it. :)


I hope you've found something to love this week, and please do support indie brands! And don't forget to take a look at the other manicures linked below. :)


Big hugs,
