hi everyone
i was wondering if any of you had tried the itzy bitzy nail varnish range ?.
yesterday i received a a letter from them offering 26 of their most popular colours on a two tier perspex stand for £29.95 + vat.
to be honest i like the idea of mini polishes (come on creative ) it would be a nice gesture to give the polish to the client (adding it to the price of the manicure of course ).it would be great to get any feedback on the range from anyone who has used it .
thanks in advance

Hiya Debbie,
I have the full range of Itzy Bitzy and when I do a manicure, my client chooses her colour, I paint the nails with it and then she takes it home with her. In my advertising, I make a point of saying that this is not only hygienic [as the brush is only used on her] but also, she has a little pot of colour to paint her toes to match or tidy up her fingernails whenever she wants.
Trouble is, I work from home and I'm not that busy so my Itzy Bitzy range is still pretty full after 8 months or so..... and I worry about the shelf life!!
The colours are nice but I don't think it comes anywhere near the quality of some of the other nail enamels on the market. But a couple of coats looks quite nice and I still like the idea of the tiny bottles - kinda cute!!!
I used one last night on my own toes and did a top coat of the Itzy Bitzy clear glitter one which painted on like wallpaper paste and dried a bit like it too yuk!! I do feel that after 8 months, they are going just a touch gloopy.
So I would say that if you can choose the colours, then it may be worth it but if you have to have the colour range that they send, I would be careful cos they may include some colours that you'll never shift.
Good luck with it anyway.......

Hi,

I have used the itsy bitzy polishes and to be honest wasn't too impressed (think i'm too used to quality as i normally use creative polishes), personally i found they didn't go on that well and some of the brushes were a bit hard and had odd length bristles.
I used them mainly for the kids mini manicures and i suppose they were ok for that but not a personal favourite,
