HillBilly Bling!!

I am very excited to introduce you to a brand new polish system, Hill Billy Bling!
This system was developed by Mary and Danny and it is inspired by the metal flake paint process that they use on the classic cars they restore. I personally love the metal flake finish on classic cars, so when I heard of this I offered my blog for their first official review. So without further ado:

I was at a birthday party when I heard about this polish. My friend was talking to someone I didn't know about polish, my ears burned and I stepped in. Mary went into detail about how they created this polish and then this company and how they would be at a car show in a week to show it off and sell the kits.  This is their booth:




 Mary was doing toes to show off their polish!
This one is SweetPea:



And this is the packaging, super cute!







I love green, so naturally, that is the color I got!

In the Kit, you get:





Base Color and Top Coat: 


The base color is a kelly green jelly. It went on pretty smoothly, was a little streaky and thin, but it was just to give a background to the glitter, so I only used one coat.



Glitter:


The glitter is super shiny green mini rectangles. I haven't seen glitter like this before.
 


And Witty Instructions:




First, paint the base color(really first put on your base coat to protect your nails as always!):




Put a little Glitter and Top Coat in the extra empty container:




Paint the glitter over the base coat and when that's dry add the top coat, Voila:

Indirect Natural Light


Sunshine!

 
 Oh, so glittery and beautiful! The other colors are Red, Gold, Purple, and Orange. The only awesome color name I can remember other than the green is Statutory Grape, lol.

This was actually a pretty easy look to accomplish, just follow the directions. The art didn't work so well, the glitter didn't leave a clean line after the tape was removed. But for a full coverage polish it looks great. You can't tell from my pic but it really looks like the car finish. It has a great depth to it, and the colors are vibrant and gorgeous. I had a hard time deciding between the colors, except gold, I'm not a fan of gold in general, but it was super bright and shiny.

There isn't a website yet, but if you are interested in purchasing this awesome new idea in nail lacquer, let me know. You can email me at arpostels[at]gmail[dot]com. I can get a hold of Mary and Danny and get it to you!

Tell me what you think about this idea and the look. Tell me how you feel about the process or the name. We want feedback!

As always, Happy Manicures
