Rainbow Honey Summer Mixtape Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Hi loves! Today I have a few polishes from the Rainbow Honey Summer Mixtape Collection to show you! I was really surprised when I received this package in the mail and I got crazy excited when I saw what was inside! Summer Mixtape consists of 12 polishes that are perfect for the warm bright summer days! Lets take a look at what I have...

Rainbow Honey: "The Kraken" & "Summer Blossom" Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Today I have the last couple of polishes from Rainbow Honey to show you all. I was extremely excited to get a surprise review package from RH, especially when I saw the first polish in this review. Now that I've swatched all of them I am in love with each and every one! RH has some pretty awesome polishes: colors, formulas and names! It's no surprise these were their top sellers last year! 

 The Kraken: described as “a marine jelly with a blue and green glow filled with glitters and shimmer” 

Shown as 3 coats topped with Nail Pattern Boldness Digital Flash. 

This is probably one of my all time favorite Rainbow Honey polishes of all time. The color is absolutely gorgeous and the glitters are a perfect match. The formula is excellent, it gave me no problems at all.

Summer Blossom:  described as “orange, yellow and white blossoms in a sea of iridescent and holographic glitters”

Shown as 1 coat over Zoya Livngston, topped with Nail Pattern Boldness Digital Flash.

I wasn't expecting to like this one so much, I’m not a big fan of shaped glitters let alone flowers, but I wound up really liking this, what can I say I'm a sucker for iridescent glitters. I especially enjoy my choice of undies for this cheerful glitter topper. Surprisingly I didn't need to do too much fishing for the flowers. I did need to place them on the nail as opposed to just polishing them on but with larger glitters I pretty much expect this. 

 These two polishes, as well as a ton of others, are available on Rainbow Honey's website www.rainbowhoney.com.. They retail for $10 each full size bottle and you can use the code ILOVENAILBLOGS from now until March 31, 2014 to receive $5 off your next Rainbow Honey order!

Rainbow Honey: "Be Mine" & "XOXO" from the Sweet Talk collection

Press Sample

I was pleasantly surprised when I got the mail last week and found a surprise package from one of my favorite indie polish makers, Rainbow Honey! There were several goodies, including these two beauties that are a re-release from last year's Sweet Talk collection. This is also the first post to debut my nubby nails on the blog! If you follow me on Instagram you have most likely seen by now I had a big break on my right hand last week, it took 3 nails so I just decided that I would start over. 

Rainbow Honey "Soldier", "Hellfire" & "Emerald Weapon" from the Final Battle Collection

Press Sample

Hello my loves!!! Did ya miss me? I'm sorry I've been away, I'm finally starting to feel better. Whatever this big was that I had, it's really hard to shake! Anyway, hopefully I can get back into the swing of things and get back to blogging at least a few days a week! 

Today I have a few beauties from Rainbow Honey's newest collection to show you today! The Final Battle collection consists of 15, YES 15 lacquers! Here is what RH has to say about this collection... 

..."The Final Battle brings us 15 new shades inspired by Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII. Often touted as “the game that sold the PlayStation,” FFVII was a long and grueling gaming experience full of heavy thematic elements and strife. The game touches on eco-terrorism, over-industrialization, and the expectations and challenges we battle over the course of life. With a cast as varied as the enemies they encounter, there was no shortage of inspiration here! 

Part I, The Battle, plays off of some of the main elements of the game: the heroes and the ultimate faceoff between the Planet’s Lifestream and the Meteor; Phoenix Down is a nod to the recurring battle item throughout the Final Fantasy series. 

Part II, The Summons, depicts five of the attacks used by the beasts and monsters summoned in the game - a crucial part of any important battle! Finally,

Part III takes its name from The Weapons created by the Planet as a form of self-defense. These bio-mechanical monsters were massive and powerful and I have taken the chance to create a durable and colorful interpretation of each one. They are smooth, shine bright with metallic shimmer, and make a great base for the many glitters in this collection." -Rainbow Honey

JOBY Nail Art Stickers Review

Press Sample

 I recently was given the opportunity to try out some JOBY Nail Art Stickers. I have tried stickers before  and while they are great to add a little something extra to your manicure in a hurry they usually don't work the way you would want. The ones that I've tried usually start to peel after a little while, I've even had some that  just don't stick at all after taking them off the backing. So I was really glad to to try these out and see how they held up.

Rainbow Honey: The Summer of 199X Collection "Tessie", "Mint Flavor" & "Magic Cake"

Press Sample

Rainbow Honey presents its newest collection, Summer of 199X featuring 10 new colors inspired by the 1995 SNES hit, Earthbound.

"Another video game that holds a special place in my heart! I wanted this collection to bring me back into the game, and I think each new lacquer takes me to a special moment or reminds me of a certain boss that resulted in one too many Game Over’s...Part I is made up of 5 new glitterbombs bursting with shimmer and color - they all layer to opacity but can be used over other colors as well. Part II is 3 new shimmer-dusted cremes and 2 new glitter toppers that give each creme a bold or sweet look. I am so excited to add these all to our lineup!” – Dee 

Today I have 3 of the 10 new polishes in this collection to show you. So lets get to it shall we?

Rainbow Honey Fab Summer Set

Today I have the Fab Summer Set by Rainbow Honey to show you! When I first saw these colors I felt kinda meh about them, then I wore them. WOW!! These are absolutely stunning shades and really need to be seen on the nail to be truly appreciated! Let's jump into the swatches, shall we? 

ABC Challenge: B is for Buttercup by Sally Hansen

So I tried and tried to come up with nail art that started with the letter B, and as you can see I failed. I am having a bit of Nail Art block right now. I can't seem to think of any designs that I wan to try. This makes me a sad girl. :(  I love, love , LOVE nail art, so to draw a blank 2 weeks in a row is really depressing.  Anyway, I decided to use one of my untrieds.

31 Day Challenge: Day 8 "Metallic"

Today I have decided to duplicate a look I fell in love with done by Dulcie at OhThreeOhFour.

I knew as soon as this day of the challenge came up I would use this look.

 

 

For this look I used Orly Glitz and Rainbow Honey A Little Kindness

 

 

This is 2 coats. I think I'm in love with this polish! I'm not usually much of a fan of the gold polishes, but this one is so pretty! Most of the time gold tends to blend with my skin tone so much. Glitz is such a bright gold that it actually works well with my coloring.

 

 

The only downside is, as with most metallics, clean up is kind of a chore because the sparkles are everywhere! But I love this color so much it's totally worth it! And to think I wasn't going to buy this when I happened to see it in the clearance section at Sally's! Glad I did now!

 

Next I applied 2 coats of A Little Kindness. This is a yellow/iridescent pink base with rose, white, gold, and green glitters in various sizes.

 

I am absolutely head over heals in love with this polish! I am certain that no matter what colors it is paired with it will look stunning!!!

I highly recommend this stunning polish! There was no fishing for glitter and with a topcoat it was nice and smooth.

Now I'm going to go work on my favorite things challenge mani!!

I'm Doing A Guest Post!!!

Hello lovelies! I am hanging out over at OhThreeOhFour  today, where I am guest posting featuring my very first Jelly Sandwich!! I was asked by Dulcie to help her out while she is busy during her move! Go check it out!!!

 



Nail Mail!!!! (Picture Heavy)

I've been stalking the mailbox for a little while now waiting on  four packages.

Of course the two that I expected to arrive last show up first! My Nail Pattern Boldness

and Rainbow Honey both came today! These babies were all added to my collection by my fantastical husband for my birthday! So a big THANKS YOU to my Bubba!

 So now, of course, on to pictures!

 

 

 

I've been stalking Allison from NPB for a couple months now to get my painted claws on Flipping Out Hard! I can not wait to try it out! NPB was my first Indie brand I have purchased. I absolutely love all of them I've bought so far. Too bad for me my bank account won't allow me to get all of them right now, some day though! Go check out her Etsy shop here!

 

I plan on having a giveaway just as soon as I figure out what the

prizes will be get and I get them all  together.

 

However, as of right now I can say that

Flipping Out Hard is going to be one of the prizes!

 

These are my first Rainbow Honey's. I wanted to buy both of the collections in their entirety but to be realistic I  decided on A Little Kindness and Sakura Matsuri . Since I first laid eyes on them I wanted them, I had to have them and now they are MINE!

 

Sorry about all the pictures, I just Loooooooove the packaging!

 

Ok I'm done now! Hopefully the other 2 packages full of beauties will show up tomorrow!

 I'm starting to get worried!!! LOL

 

Laters!
