NOTD: Girly bits - Mother May I? Swatches!

I am excited to finally wear my first "indie" polish today. I had no idea there even was such a thing until a search for the most expensive polishes on ebay introduced me Lynderella. (A little more on that here.)
Turns out there are a lot of amazing people out there taking it upon themselves to make the polish that's missing out there in the nail racks at drugstores around the world. Thank you!

Some of my favorites are Girly bits, KBShimmer, and Lynderella. But those are the ones that I've seen the most of, too. You can find all sorts of exciting new brands at online stores like llarowe, ninja polish, and Harlowe & co. Ninja Polish and Harlowe and co. allow you to set up alerts to tell you when your favorites are back in stock, too, which is really helpful because it seems like everything's always out of stock when I want it.

Anyway, on to the polish! I love it. I am in love with it.
Artificial light.
Flash.
Sunlight.
My one complaint about this is that out of three coats on each nail, I only got two of the red square glitter pieces to come out. Those are my favorite part! But I think it's really beautiful anyway. My roommate says it's "too understated," but I think he's too used to my really crazy manicures. That's part of why I like it, it doesn't jump out at you at first. It makes me happy just to look down, it's such a fun, cute combination.
The variety of glitter is really exciting, too. There have gotta be at least 12 glitters at work here, all different shapes, colors, and sizes.
Thank you Girly bits! You are honestly an inspiration.
Gotta get to work!
In my next post I want to show off a franken I made as an attempt to dupe my favorite Paul & Joe nail polish that was lost in a tragic accident.

Love,
Saroca
