NOTD: Dotted Hearts With a Side of Glitter

Hi guys!

Just a quick NOTD post, I pimped up my mani from yesterday's swatch fest into a non-pink valentine's day mani idea. Colorful and sweet!

My base is Picture Polish Sky, and the dotted hearts are also using 7 different Picture Polish shades, can you guess what they are? ;) The neon glitter is Rainbow Honey Magic Cake. I finished the mani with my favorite top coat, HK Girl from Glisten & Glow.

What do you think? I really like this mani! :)

Swatches & Review: Rainbow Honey ~ Valentine, Favorite, & Upcoming

 Hi guys!!

Today I have a full post of glittery goodness for all you glitter lover! I received 5 polishes from Rainbow Honey to review and share with my readers. So sit back, scroll, and enjoy! ;)

The first two I have are the Sweet Talk Collection, and they are making a come back on Rainbow Honey website along with 3 new shades in The Sweet Talk Collection part II. 
Sweet Talk, the namesake polish of the collection, is a milky crelly base with pink shimmer and 2 sizes of purple, pink, and pastel blue hexes. I used 3 coats for the swatch with 1 coat of HK Girl top coat (an extra coat is needed for a complete smooth surface). Application was relatively easy, just be careful not to have too much polish on the brush like I did on my middle finger.

XOXO, a mixed of red glitter, with tiny gold and silver flakes in a clear base. I wore this with OPI You're Such a Budapest as the base color. You can get a decent amount of glitter coverage in one coat, but I used an extra thin coat for more sparkles. 1 coat of top coat is enough to smooth this out.

The next two I'm showing you are part of The Summer of 199X Collection. According to Rainbow Honey these are their top glitters in 2013. I can easily see why. 
The Kraken, a marine blue jelly, filled with blue and gold holographic hexes in 3 different sizes, and shimmer that gives an extra depth to the layered finish look. This is simply amazing! Depends on how thick your coats are, you can either use 2 medium coats or 3 thin coats for full opacity. This will need 2 coats of a good top coat to smooth out the surface.

Magic Cake, a clear based glitter topper with some tiny silver flecks and filled with neon pink, blue, and green hexes & squares glitters. A really fun mixed of colors with so many layering option! I wear this over a light blue creme (Picture Polish Sky), I can't wait to try this again over black. I applied this by pressing down the brush to transfer the glitter onto the nail, and just dab a little to fill in some spots. Easy and quick! I get so much glitter on the brush, I didn't need to re-dip the brush for more glitter on each nail. 2 coats of top coat recommended.

The last one I have here is part of the upcoming Midnight Garden Spring collection, that will be released sometime in mid March 2014.
Papillon, is as cute as the name (papillon is french for butterfly). It is a clear based glitter topper with a fine holo sparkles, pastel holographic butterfly and 2 sizes of hexes in pastel pink and purple. I wore this over Lime Crime Milky Ways. The butterfly glitters are easy to get for me, no fishing required.

Swatches & Review: Rainbow Honey Nail Lacquer

Hi guys!!

Today I have several new pretty from a new-to-me indie brand Rainbow Honey. I have heard of the brand from a while, just haven't had a chance to try any of them. Recently, one of my favorite online shop, Nail Polish Canada, started carrying Rainbow Honey and asked if I would be interested in reviewing some of the polishes from this line. Well, you know my answer ;)

I have a lot of pics to show you, but here's a little preview. More after the jump!
