PAM’S GIRLY
BITS – Stormy Skies
Hi
Goddesses - Happy New Year !!!
Wow, I cannot
tell you HOW good it is to do a mani I want to do rather than another Christmas
Challenge lol.
How are we
all? Did your NYE rock ? I hope so, and here’s to a great year, even
if the Mayans think it is our last!
I bought
this ages ago, and sorry, it’s taken me an age to get round to it. Pam Heil makes her own polishes under her Pam’s
Girly Bits brand. She released her first
collection of 6 polishes in October. I chose
2 sparkly pinky purple things (biiiig surprise) but also this beauty, which I hoped
would calm my Illamasqua Raindrops lemming.
THIS is
Stormy Skies, and she is utterly beautiful.
There is an old fashioned quality to her that I really like. She’s ornate, and belongs in a stately home amongst
gold bathroom fittings and LOTS of pearls.
A lot of
her beauty is from her base colour. This
pale blue is built on a duck egg blue and has a lovely murkiness to it. And THEN there are all these little bits of
fairy dust swirling around. Teeny tiny
holographic particles within the polish!
As the layers build up, these taken on an electric baby turquoise
quality, adding real depth to the polish.
I love this
lots. I’ve especially loved how it
matched my jewellery lol, not that that’s important, but sometimes, these
things *really* matter lol …..
Now, there
are 2 slight drawbacks to this polish.
If I’d known about them beforehand, they might have had an impact, but
let me tell you, now that I HAVE the polish, they make not 1 jot of difference –
The bottle
is SMALL. 5ml. That’s smaller than Glitter Gal and 1/3 of an
OPI or China Glaze.
It’s also
quite sheer (as I guess this colour needs to be) and as I needed 3 layers …. You
can do the maths. So next time, I am
definitely layering it over CG Sea Spray.
Most of the
girls who make their own polishes use these really dinky bottles, and I understand
why – my advice is check the size of the bottle before you buy. Hopefully, as they get more successful, they
will offer bigger bottle sizes – I would definitely pay an OPI price for 15ml
of this beauty.
Finally, my
Picture Polish FESTIVAL arrived today, so I thought I may as well try it before
I took this mani off. Well, I didn’t
expect it to look this wow!
It’s hard
to tell in these photos, but FESTIVAL has a lot of peach coloured flakies, and
a bit like GITA, peach and pale blue is just a total winner.
I’ll be
showing you Pam’s other 2 polishes that I bought in the next couple of weeks,
both nude, and with underwear lol, as well as 4 polishes I picked up from
Chelsea McDonnell’s Etsy store, Pretty and Polished.
Enjoy xx J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
