Girly Bits: The 80s Girl Band Collection - Swatches and Review

*These products are Cruelty Free 


Happy Friday! As promised, I'm back this morning with the latest collection from Girly Bits called 80s Girl Band Collection!

Girly Bits Cosmetics
80s Girl Band Collection



There are 10 new polishes inspired by 80s Girl Bands.




Continued after the jump...




Bette Davis Eyes is a platinum silver texture polish with holo shimmer and a pink flash. Great application and formula. The texture isn't extreme but without top coat it's obvious. I have photos here of this with and without top coat as indicated in the photo captions. Two coats.

Conga is an aqua blue crelly polish with aqua circles, deeper aqua hex glitters in various sizes, larger metallic magenta and aqua hexes, medium metallic silver squares and hot pink squares in various sizes. The glitters were suspended perfectly in the base and the application and formula were great. Two coats and one coat of top coat for the photos.

Man Size Love is a blue-purple (blurple) linear holo with lots of aqua micro-glitter. In the light you see the holo and in the shade you see the glitters. The formula and application were good and I've used 2 coats with one coat of top coat for the photos.

Neutron Dance is hot electric neon blow-your-mind pink with glitters in neon pink, green and yellow/gold hexes and squares with silver and/or holo micro-glitter/shimmer. The formula was one of the best in the crelly glitter category that I've tried. Perfect. I used two coats and one coat of top coat for the photos.

Our Lips Are Sealed is a bright pink soft linear holo with a peachy arc and lots of translucent or pink micro-flakes. Stunning in the light or the shade. No issues to report. Two coats and one coat of top coat for the photos.

The Power of Love is a lavender holographic glitter polish with lavender, holographic, green and silver glitters and loads of holographic shimmer. This can be worn with or without top coat depending on how textured you like your polishes. Even without top coat it's not scratchy or too rough. I have photos of both ways as indicated in the photo captions.

Supersonic is a super bright neon chartreuse green crelly with teal flakes and gold shimmer/fleck throughout. I thought this one would be too much for me but once I got it on, I couldn't stop staring at my nails! No issues at all with formula or application. Three light coats and one coat of top coat for the photos.
