Girly Bits ~ Bird is the Word
Pale purple holo
Bird is the Word is from the Girly Bits Autumn 2013 collection. I bought
that one and D!ck In A Box; I’ll show you that one soon too.
Formula is just as good as I expected. The
polish just glides on, and leaves no bald spots behind it. I used my regular
base coat, and had no problems with application at all. Coverage is good too –
it took two coats to make it opaque, and drying time between coats is faster
than average. That’s a plus, I can tell you.
Here is a picture of two coats, no topcoat,
picture taken with flash:
I love those rainbows! The polish is a little
bit more muted than I’d usually go for, but sometimes it’s nice to get
“something else” on your nails!
Here’s a picture taken in low lights.
This one is also taken in low lights without
flash. I love that there are still rainbows, but I’m sure you understand what I
mean when I say that I’d like a bit more of an edge.
I stamped on it. I chose a swirl motif from
Moyou London stamping plate Princess Collection-14, and I stamped with Sally
Hansen Insta-Dri “Quick Jeanius”. Here’s what it ended up looking like –
there’s still no topcoat involved.

This totally grew on me as time went – I like it when that happens. I
can see that I could easily have chosen a “chunkier” design without any
problems whatsoever. Perhaps I’ll do that when I’m showing you D!ck in a Box :D
