Girly Bits Happy Valenbirthaversary

Press Sample of Girly Bits Happy Valenbirthaversary I have a special polish to show tonight! Girly Bits is the guest maker in the February 2016 edition of the Pipe Down This Love Is Bliss Box, and I have her polish to show you! So get ready – this is Girly Bits Happy Valenbirthaversary (yeah I had to triple check the spelling on that name) and it will be an exclusive shade to this particular box. Gorgeous right? I know. I was super giddy when it showed up in the mail. I also made sure to get some sunlight pictures of this beauty – which is incredibly rare for me since I usually get home from work after it’s dark.

To kick the week off I have Pretty Serious Cosmetics Post Apocalyptic Princess collection as well as the Limited Edition shade Ninja-Lish-ious. I won’t lie, I’m a little out of it right now and just flat out exhausted after sitting in traffic for over an hour on my whopping 14 mile drive home from work. You’d think that after doing the same commute for 6 years that I would get use to it, but I don’t. Ever. My mind just feels numb right now. First we will take a look at the Post Apocalyptic Princess Collection and then we’ll dive into the Limited Edition Ninja-Lish-ious shade. For the Post Apocalyptic Princess Collection I will have a snippet from the Pretty Serious Cosmetics site so you can read the inspiration behind each shade. Badlands Bandit Inspired…
