Good morning!  I'm sad, back on the Mainland.  Wah, that trip was way too fast but I accomplished exactly what I wanted to...nothing at all!  I lounged, relaxed and sat poolside for 5 days.  But now I'm going to have to bust by butt to get back into the swing of swatting and blogging to catch up on some things!  Let's start with this Girly Bits custom created for the newly renamed Hella Handmade Creations group.  This group was FKA Hella Holo Creations and was only nail polish.  Now they have changed their game plan, will include other handmade products (think hand and body care, etc...).  They also have multiple makers sign up with a theme for whatever duration they chose so you could get 4 months of Spring Flowers or 3 months Nautical products.  Girly Bits signed up to do a series of Harry Potter inspired polishes.  The first one, inspired by Fawkes, is called No Fawkes Given.  The HHC will open on 4/14 and you can purchase THIS polish for 7 days, ending on 4/21.  No Fawkes Given will be $13 and there is no cap.  Alright, I just hose fed you a ton of information so let's jump in and check out the polish.

Girly Bits Cosmetics; Limited Edition April Colour of the Month Duo - Bouquet Corral & My Peony Has A First Name

Good morning from Hawaii!  I'm on vacation for Spring Break, woop woop!  But Hawaii in April is a bit of a hit or miss with the weather, it's windy and cloudy and rained on our first day.  But oh well, we are still in paradise and I'm enjoying it and relaxing the days away.  The only thing that throws me off is the time difference - 6 hours difference between Hawaii and the East Coast!  So my timing to share anything nail or beauty related is a bit wonky.  But I think I got it for this post!  Today I have the Girly Bits April Colour of the Month Duo for ya AND it's the last day to purchase the duo at the discounted rate of $29.50 CAD for the duo.  After the 10th the prices will be $15 CAD for the creme and $16.50 CAD for the flakie polish.  Great names cane out of the Girly Bits Fan group again, we have My Peony Has A First Name and Bouquet Corral.  They will be available until 5/1/18.  Alrighty, less talky, more looky!
