Ruby White Tips P**** Wagon

Happy Friday my loves!  You should see the snow we got, holy crapoly!!  And it's still snowing :D  Tyler and I spent about .. 3 hours total shovelling out his mom's driveway, we took a little break in the middle though, and got to have some homemade peanut butter cookies that his mom made for us :)  YUM!!!  And Owen was outside with us playing in the snow and looked like an abominable snow puppy by the time we came in for our break .. so cute :D

Today I have a beautiful polish that the lovely Laura from Ruby White Tips sent to me for review.  It is from her new Kill Bill Collection.  I have never watched a Kill Bill movie, so I have no idea what the names of these polishes are in reference to, but I just want to say that the name of this polish, Pussy Wagon, makes me feel really dirty when I type it out (I tend to refrain from talking about "nether regions" in any type of context), so I'm just going to call it "PW" for the rest of the post.  Sorry Laura, I'm weird like that, hope you don't mind :)










This is a really stunning grey-to-pink duochrome.  I love that it is grey-to-pink, it's not a combination you see a lot of in the polish industry and I really love the neutral/bright combination.  This is 2 super easy coats of PW over bare nails.  It has excellent coverage seeing as normally a duochrome like this would normally be sheer and best applied over a creme base.

The dry time for this polish is super fast which is really nice especially if you are in a hurry.  I topped it with Butter London's PD Quick Fast Dry Top Coat and used Julep's Quick Dry Drops as well (I was just about to shower and go to bed so I didn't want to take a chance on ruining my nails).

In different lighting, there are different colours that flash through this polish.  Under fluorescent lighting, there is a tint of purple in the shimmer, where under "normal" indoor lighting it's mostly pink-ish.

I also tried it topped on a few colours on a nail wheel.

Left to Right:
Jordana Black, Julep Lisa, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On, China Glaze Concrete Catwalk
I prefer it over black myself, but you could try it over any colour to see what it does.  I will say that the base for this polish is pretty "over powering" so it will alter the base colour you use.

Alright, now, here's the fun part!  Laura has asked me to help get her some traffic on her Facebook page, so here's what we are going to do - 

If you have a Ruby White Tips polish in your possession, create a mani with it, take a picture, and post it on her Facebook page.  Then send her a Private Message to her Facebook page with your e-mail address and the link to your picture on her Facebook page and she will then e-mail you a SECRET one-time use discount code for any one item in her shop (except Mystery Bags), including her newest collection - Kill Bill.

Don't have a Ruby White Tips polish yet?!  That's OK, we have something for you too!  Head on over to the Facebook page and give Laura a "like", and then share her page with all of your friends (make sure the share is set to "Public" so she can see it).  Then send her a Private Message to her Facebook page with your e-mail address and the link to your share and she will then e-mail you a SECRET one-time use discount code for any one item in her shop (except Mystery Bags), including her newest collection - Kill Bill.

Also, make sure to tell your friends to let her know who sent them to her page.  She will send the person with the most referrals by Monday, February 11th at 9:00am EST a FREE POLISH!!  The winner will be announced Monday morning on Ruby White Tips!  This is open for everyone :D

ALSO!!  Tomorrow, I will be having a <insert blinking text and booming voice with echo effects> FLASH GIVEAWAY that will be open from 12am EST Saturday February 9th until 12am EST Monday February 11th (Saturday and Sunday only)!  There will be a blog post with all the information posted at 12am EST (midnight).  You are now "in the know", so make sure to look for the post tomorrow!

  1. Pretty polish...I love duochromes. Personally, I would have named it PW or as you have it above (I can be a little prudish about those kind of things)...and then explain what it means. Nothing personal, Laura. :D
