BG Cosmetics: Kimber's Korner

Hello lovelies! It's Caturday!! Charlie would say hello but she is busy sleeping. It's hard work being a kitteh in my house!

Today I have my namesake polish from BG Cosmetics to share with you. Yep, there's a polish named for me! My girl Ketlyn is the creative genius behing BG Cosmetics, and she created this gorgeous polish for me! Even cooler, it also has a matching eyeshadow!

 Kimber's Korner is a beautiful Cobalt Blue jelly packed with various colors of blue glitters, holo glitters, and tiny holo flitter. It's vibrant and sassy, and a whole lotta fun!

In the interest of color accuracy, I did not alter these photos. My skin tone is way off in these, but the polish is true to life. All photos are 3 coats of Kimber's Korner topped with Gelous and HK Girl Top Coat.

*Sigh*...I do love this polish. But I think that's par for the course since it was created for me. Ketlyn knows I love Cobalt Blue and glitter, and she managed to create a polish that is absolutely perfect for me. I love how vibrant this polish is, and the depth! Wow!

Formula:
As with all BG Cosmetics polishes, Kimber's korner has a thick, but incredibly usable and manageable formula. No thickening, glopping, or clumpy glitters.

Application:
Smooth and silky, KK appplied easily, staying right where I put it. No dragging, balding, fishing for larger glitters or clumping at the tips. Since KK is a glitterbomb, it does dry textured so if you like things smooth, use a coat of Gelous or Glitter Food before your usual top coat.

I am thrilled with this polish. It's everything I wanted, and then some! You can find Kimber's Korner via the BG Cosmetics shop on Etsyfor $10/full size bottle. This is a Limited Edition, so grab it while you can! While you're there, don't forget to check out all of Ketlyn's awesome creations including Lung Cancer Awareness Polish that she created for my Mother, and her new line of eyeshadows! All of her products are created with the finest ingredients and are all Big 3 Free and Cruelty Free. Don't forget to use code"KIMBERSKORNER" at checkout to save 15% on your order!

What do you think of my namesake? What would your namesake polish look like?

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

BG Cosmetics Valentine's Day Collection: Candy Coated Innocence

Hell again lovelies! It's Sunday night, which means Monday morning is dreadfully close. Pretty polish always perks me up, so let's take a peek at one!

This evening I have the 3rd and final polish from the Bitch Glitz Valentine's Day Collection to share with you all. Candy Coated Innocence is an opaque creamy white jam packed with soft pink hearts and pink and purple holographic glitter and shredded purple flitter. This is my fave from this collection (you can check out Chocolate Treasure here, and Strawberry Sunrise here) but I'm always kind of partial to pearly white polish. One of the very first shades that I wore when I started getting back into nail polish was a pearl white, and I wore it to death!

This is 2 coats of Candy Coated Innocence topped with Gelous and HK Girl Top Coat (bonus points to whoever finds the piece of cat fur that Charlie snuck into one of these photos!):

Isn't CCI beautiful? I am head over heels for this polish. I'm actually wearing this as a full mani at the moment.

Formula:
BG's formula is on the thick side, yet it's the kind of thick that is easy to use and really holds the glitter. Always usable straight from the bottle, I have yet to experience any thickening during use, glopping, or gooping.

Application:
CCI was a dream to apply! I had no issues with dragging, balding, or fishing for the larger heart glitters and was even able to wrap my tips with this. Since it has a pearl finish, you will have a few brushstrokes, but nothing that's visible outside of macro mode. This polish is also easily opaque in a single coat, although I'm wearing 2 for intensity. Since this does have the large heart glitters, I used a coat of Gelous to protect them in addition to my regular top coat.

I am so very in love with Bitch Glitz polishes. Ketlyn (the mastermind behind BG Cosmetics) has created a very unique and high quality line. Her polishes are not only impressive as far as formula and application, but the wear is amazing as well. I've yet to have a BG manicure chip or show anything besides some minor tip wear (and I even had to do some impromptu plumbing today!).

All Bitch Glitz Polishes are 3-Free and made with the highest quality ingredients, including a pinch of Diamond Dust! You can find BG Cosmetics on Etsy (make with the clicky!) and Full size bottles retail for $10, entire collections for $35,and the Valentine's Day Trio for $26. You can also grab a bottle of the Limited Edition"Kimber's Korner", a rockin' Cobalt Blue with various Blue/bar/holo glitters (I'll have swatches coming up this week)! Don't forget to use the code below to save 15% on your entire order.

What do you think of Candy Coated Innocence? Are you a fan of white polish?

I'll be back tomorrow with new Twenty Seven Polish and be sure to stay tuned this week for new Polish TBH and more from BG Cosmetics!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Bitch Glitz Cosmetics Valentine's Day Collection: Strawberry Sunrise

Good morning lovelies! Happy Caturday! Charlie is hiding at the moment since the baby has been chasing her relentlessly this morning. She's so awesome with him - she will let him pet her, hug her, lay his head against her belly...and all the while she grooms him and purrs. I've always found that amusing since when we first saw her at Animal Humane we were told that she was not good with children and dogs. We had Dex with us that day and Charlie immediately gave him kitty head butts and kisses. She also bonded with Marleigh, my 120lb Labrador/Great Dane, and now that gigantic dog is her best friend. She's a pretty awesome cat.

Today I have the 2nd of 3 Valentine's Day Polishes from my girl Ketlyn at Bitch Glitz Cosmetics. Strawberry Sunrise is opaque fiery fuschia, filled with metallic silver, holographic white, purple, and pink glitter that sparkles in the sunlight. This girl was difficult to capture at 2 am in artificial lighting! My camera tends to really freak out with pinks and purples - add glitter to the mix and I'm surprised it hasn't exploded. T minus 14 days or so until I get my DSLR! I dunno about you guys, but I'm looking forward to crystal clear pictures!

But back to the polish! This is 2 coats of Strawberry Sunrise topped with Gelous and HK Girl Top Coat:

I really wish my pictures showed how vibrant this color is. IRL the fuchsia base is a bit more vibrant and the glitter really sparkles.

Formula:
As with all BG polishes, Strawberry Sunrise has a lovely, thick but usable straight from the bottle formula. No thickening, gooping or glopping.

Application:
Smooth and silky, Strawberry Sunrise applied easily, stayed right where I put it and did not show any dragging, balding, or clumping of the glitters. This polish is pretty opaque, however you will need 2 coats for full opacity. Strawberry Sunrise dries slightly textured, but not as textured as chunkier glitters. I used a coat of Gelous before my usual top coat to make sure my nails were smooth.

I am consistently impressed with Bitch Glitz Cosmetics. Ketlyn has managed to find that delicate balance that makes a formula stand out, and her colors and glitter mixes are always stunning. Another thing that really stands out with BG polishes is longevity. These polishes dry hard and I have yet to experience a chip or anything beyond some very minor tip wear from constant typing. I always use a peel off base coat with glitters, and we all know how hard it is to get more than 24 hours wear when using peel off base coat, but with BG polishes I actually have to work to find a corner to lift up to peel off the polish!

All Bitch Glitz creations are 3-free and made with the highest quality ingredients, including a pinch of Diamond Dust. Full size bottles retail for $10, full collections for $35. Ketlyn is also amazing with custom creations, so if you have a dream polish in mind shoot her a note! She has created 3 custom polishes for me (You'll see those this coming week), including the Limited Edition 'Kimber's Korner", a beautiful Cobalt Blue with a variety of blue, bar, and holo glitters.  You can find Bitch Glitz Cosmetics on Etsy (clicky!) and you can also save 15% off your entire order by using the code below!

What do you think of Strawberry Sunrise? Are you planning on wearing a Valentine's Day mani?

Stay tuned for more Indie goodness this afternoon!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

Bitch Glitz Cosmetics Valentine's Day Collection - Chocolate Treasure

Good Morning Loves! Happy Thursday! We're so close to the weekend I can almost feel it! It's gonna be a post heavy day today so I apologize in advance for spamming you all. I have some really awesome polishes to share, so be sure to check back!

This morning I have one of the most recent creations from my girl Ketlyn at Bitch Glitz Cosmetics. It's no secret that Bitch Glitz has fast become one of my very favorite Indie Brands and Ketlyn is such an awesome lady. I have a ton of her beauties to share with you, including the rest of the V-Day Collection, Lung Cancer Awareness LE Polishes, and her newest creation - A cobalt blue with various blues and holo blue glitters called "Kimbers Korner"!

Right now I have Chocolate Treasure to share with you. Chocolate Treasure is a mix of gold, turquoise, and blue glitter of all shapes and sizes in a Chocolate colored base. I'll be honest, Brown isn't a color I'm normally attracted to, but as soon as I was finished with this mani I was all sorts of in love. And kind of wanted to lick my nails since they looked so yummy! Funnily enough, Diana and I are twins today! This wasn't planned at all...just goes to show ya GMTA! Be sure to check out her review of CT here!

This is 2 coats of Chocolate Treasure topped with Gelous and HK Girl Top Coat (pic heavy cause I like it that way!)

Tell me that isn't the most beautiful chocolate brown polish ever!! Yup, I love it!

Formula:
As always, Bitch  Glitz impresses here. Usable right from the bottle with no glopping, thickening, or clumpy glitters. Love!

Application:
Chocolate Treasure applied beautifully! A bit sreaky on the first coat, it evens out perfectly with the second. The glitters distribute evenly and no fishing needed even for the pink hearts. This does dry slightly textured, so I recommend a coat of Gelous or Glitter Food before topcoating.

One thing I have to mention about Bitch Glitz polishes is that they are made with a pinch of Diamond Dust. I've seen that used in mainstream polish previously and it never seemed to make a difference. Well, it really does with BG.  These babies dry hard as a diamond and I have yet to experience any tip wear or a single chip. Damned impressive!!

All Bitch Glitz creations are 3-free and made with the highest quality ingredients. Full size bottles retail for $10, full collections for $35, and the Valentines Day Collection sells for $26. You can find Bitch Glitz on Etsy by clicking here or by using the URL below.  Make sure to use the code below to save 15% off your order (and be sure to grab "Kimbers Korner", the polish, while you can!)!

Are you guys digging Bitch Glitz yet (Personally, I love the name *and* the polish!)? What are your thoughts on Chocolate Treasure?

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!

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.

You can find Bitch Glitz on Etsy (clicky clicky!) and you can also save 15% off your entire order by using the code below! 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.
