Girly Bits Cosmetics; Limited Edition June Colour of the Month Duo, Let's Do This Again! & What The Hell Was I Thinking?

Happy Friday! I'm so glad for the weekend, though I'll admit this week has been pretty mellow.  No soccer practice, no gymnastics.  Next week will be my welcome back to Fall sports week and I'll be taxiing the kids around like a mad woman again, not yay.  I mom life hard, people!  So today I have the Girly Bits June Colour of the Month Duo.  These shades (just like all the previous months) are fabulous!  I am loving both and I even threw them together for an easy nail art look!  The June COTM Duo are inspired/named for Pam's Indie Expo Canada experience and are available now until 7/31.  They are $16.50 CAD each.  Ok, let's jump in and check these out!

Nubar East of Eden: Moss Mistress, Wild Blue Yonder & Calla Lily Caramel

Hullo dears!  Here's an early evening post for you to enjoy!  Nubar is a great brand with a large selection of gorgeous polish!  My first experience with Nubar was the amazing Reclaim, green holo amazing-ness.  But since then I have tried a few more and all the Nubars I have tried were stellar.  The ones I'm sharing now are no exception.  Colors and formula are top notch with this brand.  You can follow Nubar in several places: Facebook, Instagram (bynubar) and you can purchase at the website bynubar.com.  All 3 of these are from the summer 2013 collection, East of Eden but I think they also make great Fall colors!  

*PRESS SAMPLE*

Up first is Moss Mistress.  Moss Mistress is a chartreuse colored creme.  It was a beautiful polish to work with, creamy and smooth flowing.  Application was really lovely.  My pictures are showing more of the yellow side - it truly is more green.  I used 2 coats and no topcoat.  Look how shiny this polish dries all on it's own!

This blue beauty is Wild Blue Yonder.  This is a medium metallic blue with scattered holo sparkles.  It's very pretty and I love how the finishes play off each other to create a very subtle bling.  I used 3 coats here and you can see there is still a slightly visible nail line.  It was really only noticeable in some lighting.  WBY had a great formula and application was a breeze.  This one dries with a little grit so use topcoat if you like smooth nails.  I did not use topcoat.

Finally I have Calla Lily Caramel.  This was my favorite of the 3.  The light caramel-taupe color worked really well with the red shimmer.  This one is very sheer to start and it had a tendency to pull up at the tips.  But after 4 coats and letting it dry completely I had a gorgeous color and great coverage.   I would suggest practicing patience with this one.  Again, super shiny finish and no topcoat was used.
