Girly Bits #endlesslove

Nothing To Disclose Purchase || Affiliate Link Inside
In February, Gloss48 joined with Girly Bits to have an exclusive trio of polishes to be sold on their website. I couldn't resist and bought them! This is #endlesslove, a pale lavender with a very subtle holographic.

I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That top coat.

In the sun, you can see the holographic properties peeking out but for the most part, they stayed underwraps.

In the shade, you just get lovely lavender. Now, you may notice a bit of white at the bottle of my bottle. It's still there and does not affect the polish. It's my understanding that it was something to do with the suspension base but again, no ill effects were had.

In the indirect light, the holographic is still missing but it's still a great spring color.

I accidentally had my flash on for this photo but yay holo! 

This polish was a part of an exclusive trio for Gloss48.com that was available for $24.00. The polish is now discontinued but if you're able to find it somewhere, you won't be disappointed!

Girly Bits can be purchased on her website or through her approved distributors. Prices range from $10 (USD) to $12 (USD) but please note her website is in CAD, not USD because she is a Canadian company. Join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Twitter, & Pinterest.

LVX Viola

Press Sample 
LVX had their summer collection come out recently and I was given the opportunity to be the swatch model for Gloss48 (thank you again!)

Today is Viola, which is a FIERCE blue creme. I mean, whoa.  I used a base coat of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and finished with LVX's new Gel-Like top coat.

I mean what more can you say? This polish behaved beautifully - no pooling or flooding.

I did not do a wear test so I cannot talk about long term staining but I didn't have any staining while wearing the polish for a few hours.

I wore the polish a second time as well and I got a little messy on the sides but that was my fault - not the polish.

Cosmoprof / GlossyBox Collaboration

This July Cosmoprof North America (CPNA) proudly brought back the successful sampling concept, BOUTIQUE, to its already exemplary program of new and returning initiatives.  This sampling bar allowed attendees to select deluxe-sized samples, including the latest in up-and-coming cosmetics, skin care, nails, hair and some classic beauty favorites. Once at the sampling bar, attendees could hand-pick seven deluxe samples from 20 featured exhibiting brands in exchange for a small charitable donation that benefited CITY OF HOPE, a leading research, treatment and education center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases. 

The BOUTIQUE concept was widely successful at last year’s show and announces a special collaboration with GLOSSYBOX, the leading online purveyor of luxury beauty with recent collaborations that GLOSSYBOX has launched with brands, including Net-A-Porter, Bergdorf Goodman, La Prairie and many others.  The limited edition Cosmoprof BOUTIQUE box will be available for sale exclusively on GLOSSYBOX.com on August 1  for $40. The limited edition box will feature seven products and will have a small run. Once sold out - it is gone!  

CPNA: LVX 2014

I randomly walked up right before the brother-sister team behind LVX had their audition for QVC/HSN/Shop - they made it in the final round of auditions and have a great shot at being on one of these three channels!

I had no idea that LVX was going to be at Cosmoprof North America this year, but I was excited to see them in Discover Beauty again this year. Branka and Rade Tomic are a fantastic example of when family businesses work and work well. LVX has consistently been churning out on trend polishes each season and just recently came out with their own gel-like top coat.

Nerd moment - they also came out with new boxes that have the cutout so you can see the polish you're purchasing before you buy it.

I did get a sneak peek at the new fall collection (top row) which did not have names at press time. I asked Branka why she decided to go with two greys and she smiled and said "Because I can." 

I'm also excited about that red on the end. It's similar to Roux from the summer collection but has more magenta in it. (Bottom row is the summer 2014 collection.)
