Bitch Glitz Cosmetics Dark Side of Town Collection: Resident Evil

Hiya Lovelies! It's a little later than anticipated, but here is my second post of the day!

A few weeks ago while browsing Etsy, I stumbled upon a new Indie Brand called Bitch Glitz. Since there is no way you can avoid checking out a brand with a name as awesome as that, I immediately checked out the store and placed an order. Since then I have been lucky enough to befriend Ketlyn, the mastermind behind BG Cosmetics, and have fallen in love with the brand and just adore the person behind it.

Today's polish is from the Dark Side of Town Collection. Resident Evil (man, I love those movies, and the games!) is an awesome mix of Black Bar, Hex, square, and the occasional large Round glitter in a deep, shimmery burgundy red base. Hidden in the mix are some red star glitters as well. I've been dying to wear this baby and finally decided swatch schedule be damned, this is going on my nails!

All photos are 3 coas of Resident Evil topped with Gelous and HK Girl Top Coat (note: even though my pics make this look a but bumpy in places, that's actually some of the star glitter poking through. My camera had a hard time capturing those, but if you look closely, you'll see them):

I really wish that I was able to capture the depth of this polish, but it's all but impossible. IRL the glitters really shine, and the burgundy red base is vibrant and stunning. I am so glad that I took the plunge and bought this collection!

Formula:
As with most Indie polish, Resident Evil is thicker than mainstream polish, but is still smooth and buttery. No thickening during use, no glopping, and no clumpy glitters.

Application:
Resident Evil applied smoothly and evenly. Although it is a bit streaky on the first coat it evens out perfectly with the second. No dragging, balding, or glopping. The glitters placed nicely, although if you want more of the large round glitters you may have to fish a bit. I managed to grab at least 2 for each hand, although I wanted to show those off so I grabbed one for each nail during my last coat. RE will reach opacity with 2 coats, however I added a third since I banged a nail against the table and needed a quick fix.;) Resident Evil doesn't dry all that textured, but I added a coat of Gelous to ensure a smooth finish.

Despite being a very new Indie Brand, Bitch Glitz makes some very impressive polishes. If you aren't familiar with Indie Polishes and their formula, you may find application a bit tricky, but if you go slow and use thin coats then you'll have no problem.

All Bitch Glitz Cosmetics poishes are 3-free and made with top quality ingredients, including a dash of diamond dust! Full size bottles retial for $10.00, full collections for $35. Ketlyn is also amazing at custom creations (I'll be showing you 2 that she created for me this week) so if you have a polish in mind, shoot her a note! She'll definitely be able to bring your vision to life.

I'll be showing you the Bitch Glitch Valentine's Collection this week, as well as June Pearl and Courageous Heart (Created in honor of my mother and Lung Cancer patients/survivors everywhere) this week.

KLK Presents : Bitch Glitz Cosmetics Dark Side of Town Collection - Walking Dead

Hello lovelies! I've been dying to write this post for  good week now. I'll be posting details about the challenge later, but for now? I have something very special to share!

About a week and a half ago I stumbled across a brand called Bitch Glitz on Etsy. I immediately fell head over heels for the creations there, and decided that I had to order some right away! As I was deciding and re-deciding, Ketlyn, the awesome as all hell owner of Bitch Glitz posted more colors. She was kind enough to let me change my order to her totally me Dark Side of Town Collection. This collection is beyond awesome and over the next week or so I'll be sharing them all.

It's no secret that I am a huge Walking Dead fan. I live for new episodes, have re-watched every episode at least twice, and think Daryl Dixon should be President. It only made sense to chose Bitch Glitz Walking Dead as the first polish from the DSoT Collection to share with you all.

Walking Dead (the polish) is a kick-ass mix of black square glitter and Large Red Hex glitter in a moss green base. It's Walking Dead in a bottle, I swear.

All photos are 2 coats of Walking Dead topped with Gelous and SV:

I cannot find the words to tell you all just how deeply in love I am with this polish. Wow!

Formula:
Walking Dead's formula is the usual thick Indie formula, however this isn't necessarily an issue. I did add some thinner for the second coat because I wanted it to be fairly thin so the glitters would be able to poke through as much as possible, however this is just personal preference. I didn't have any actual issues like glopping or gooping.

Application:
The first coat applied very smoothly. I had no issues with dragging, glopping, or gooping, and no need to fish for the larger glitters. The second coat was a touch tricky, if only because my first coat wasn't completely dry and the large red hex glitters really wanted to dig into that first coat. I allowed my right hand to dry a bit longer between coats and then the second coat was smooth as silk.  I do recommend a coat of Gelous or Glitter Food on this one due to the larger glitters, plus it adds to the shine.

I am so impressed with Bitch Glitz that I cannot wait to order more! Ketlyn currently has 3 collections available, as well as a couple of LE's. All full sized bottles retail for $10, full collections for $35. All polishes are 3-free and made with High Quality ingredients, including a pinch of Diamond Dust! You can find Bitch Glitz on Etsy (and you really should!). The shop name is actually listed as "Bitsch Glitz", due to the usual "you can't use that word!" restrictions.

I'm so excited to show you more from this brand! Even though BG is new to the Indie scene, it's already in my top 4 Indie Brands. I cannot recommend it enough.

What's your take on Walking Dead? Are you excited to see more from Bitch Glitz?

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
