March 2016 Rainbow Honey Mystery Bag

You all know I am super behind, but I have lots of polishes I want to show off from the past couple of months. so this is the first of several. :)I always love my mystery bags from Rainbow Honey, and March was no exception.

I received two super cute little soaps, mimosa scented perfume, and a new cuticle balm. I really love both of these polishes so much, and they are both somewhat space-themed, which I always like! The first polish I have to show you is called Outer Space Dust. It is a topper, so I painted it over top of Pure Ice Black Rage. It really does end up looking like outer space on your nails - a galaxy manicure without all the work.

Here is a closeup of the polish in the bottle, so you can see all of the different glitters and shimmer inside.

Next, is Cosmic Microwave Sky. It's a pretty crazy name, for an even prettier polish. ;) It's a blue jelly with cool little iridescent squares and shimmer.

Here is a closeup of this polish in the bottle. There is so much dimension in this one!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I will be back Friday with a new mani for the Nail Tarts' challenge.

Rainbow Honey February Mystery Bag

Hmmm I fell a little behind with my blogging, so you are getting February's bag in March!!! I got a lot of great things in this bag, and the polishes were gorgeous (there was a purple AND a happy glitter topper!).

I received  a body lotion and hand sanitizer in a scent called Luvable Pink, and a grape-flavored lip gloss. The two polishes I received this month are Violetta Bot and Electric Love Bytes!.

Here are swatches of Violetta Bot. It is a metallic shimmery pale violet polish, and this is two coats.

Here is a macro of the color. It's extremely reflective, so not easy to photograph!

This is Electric Love Bytes! over top of Zoya Charisma. It has pink flower-shaped glitters, lime green star glitters, and pink and lime hexes, as well as a shifting shimmer that shifts from green to pink and matches the glitters so well.

Here is a macro of Electric Love Bytes!. I just love this glitter topper so much!

Well there you have it, better late than never I guess! I'll be back Friday with a new challenge mani!

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Mermaid Tails and Drunken Sails Swatches and Review

 *PR Sample

Good morning! I have a new polish to show off from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer which she created recently for the Hella Holo Customs group. It's a private facebook group, but if you would like to join so that you can get your hands on this beauty, just follow the instructions at the end of this post! Mermaid Tails and Drunken sails is a gorgeous shimmer-filled linear holo with shifting iridecent glitters and red to gold shifting sparks. It seriously looks exactly like what Ariel's tail would look like in real life. Squuueeee! Now you all know I have a thing for mermaids and particular The Little Mermaid. Love that movie so so so much, so this polish with hold a special place in my heart for that simple fact alone!

This is only available for preorder through 7pm today, so hurry hurry hurry if you want to get it!

I did two coats here, with no topcoat. It dried to a satiny finish, and is pretty thick. Julie created this polish so that it could be a one to two coater, so be mindful that you will need to wait for the first coat to fully dry before you go for that second coat to prevent dragging!

I took so many pictures of this because it seriously looks different from every angle! Check out these bottle shots to see what I mean. Ooooooohhhh ahhhhhhhh! Oh I just love all the sparkle!

There is also a pink (Holomelon) and purple (Atalanta) with the same finish in the collection that you can find swatched all over the internet. They are gorgeous. Get them while you can ladies!

We got some sun after I took most of my photos, so I have a few phone pics for you of this one, too, so you can see the lovely linear holo a bit better!

I will be back in a couple days with another mani for you, and hopefully some nail art!

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Siren's Lament

*PR Sample

Good evening. I received a bunch of polishes to review for you lovelies, so, I have a review of one of the newest polishes from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer for you today! This is Siren's Lament and it is a very deep teal polish with shifting pink to blue to gold glass flecks. It dries to a satiny finish, and I did two coats here. Take a look at this beauty!

This polish is going to release 2/25 in her shop, and will run for $12, so be sure to hop in there early if you want to snag it! Here are a few macro shots so you can see the flecks better, too!

The consistency of this polish was a bit on the thick side, but she will be adding thinner, so it should be better for all of you. I really had very little problem with the application other than the consistency, but it went on very evenly and the glass flecks distributed well, too. Oh, I will also have you know that despite the color, I escaped with no stains. I always get nervous with the blue pigments, but I was fine using my normal base coat. \(><)/



Here is what this baby looks like with topcoat and in full sun. I took these quick shots as I was walking into work because of course the sun popped out during my drive and I didn't know how long it would last! Please pardon the poorer quality as I snapped them on my smartphone. :D

I really do love this polish (I'm such a sucker for teal and purple!!!), AND I will have a bunch more to show off for you too over the coming days/weeks. I hope the sun comes out again for the holos!

Thank you so much for looking, and make sure to stop by again so you can see the other lovelies I received from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer!

Rainbow Honey January 2016 Mystery Bag

Hello and happy Thursday! It's Friday-Eve, so that means the weekend is almost here! Woooooo! Today, I have for you my mystery bag from Rainbow Honey! I got two full-size polishes this month, a lip balm, lip scrub, and whipped cream soap.  The lip stuff is cucumber melon scented and smells so good. I haven't used the soap yet, but I really like the concept. :D

This first polish is Called Planet M. It is a lovely deep magenta pink with tiny iridescent flakies, and blue shimmer. I did two coats here with one coat of topcoat.

The stamping was done using Mundo de Unas Sunflower and BM-XL29. Man I love my MdUs, they are my favorite!

The other polish I received is called Caramel Forest. It is a glitter topper with orange metallic hexes, large white squares, small black and gold hexes, and gold flakies and shimmer. It is shown here over Rainbow Honey Mr. Saturn. It's super sparkly in person. I did two coats and then added topcoat.

Thank you so much for looking today. I will be back on Friday or Saturday with this week's challenge post for the Nail Tarts!

Rainbow Honey December 2015 Mystery Bag

Good morning and happy hump day! :D Today, I finally have my Rainbow Honey mystery bag from December! They changed up their packaging a little bit - look at how cute the bag is that this came in!

I received two polishes, a mini perfume, and a little tub of shea and cocoa butter for my thirsty skin! I swatched both polishes and added a bit of stamping just to mix things up a little.

First, I have Majestic Bluewhale. Look at the gorgeous blue shimmer magical colors! It truly is majestic and is very reminiscent of ocean water. Below, I added a little bit of stamping using BM-XL25 and Mundo de Unas Spring Green.

Next up, we have Rainbow Honey Smokey Creme. This polish was a bit disappointing. It was terribly separated when it arrived, and no matter how much I shook it, rolled it, etc., it just would not mix back up. So, as you can see in my swatch, there were tiny specks of white where the white had separated itself from the color. I added some pretty stamping anyway. :D This is plate BPL-028 and Mundo de Unas Nabu.

Thank you so much for looking! I am already swatching my January mystery bag. I fell super behind with my blogging over the holiday. /(><)\ I'm trying to get back at it, and have soooo many manis done and just waiting to post! Anyway, I'll be back Friday for the Nail Tarts' challenge. Yay!

Rainbow Honey July Mystery Bag

I love, love, love my mystery bags from Rainbow Honey! Such a great collection of colors every time and some are sneak peeks of upcoming collections and new bath and body items! This time was no exception. I'm so spoiled by indies anymore, I am constantly lemming on new unique polishes. And if you hit the sales right with free shipping, it's actually cheaper than some mainstream polishes, so what's not to love?!

This time around, I received three new polishes, pomelo scented body spray, shea butter skin treatment, and sweet mandarin lip scrub. The body spray smells so good. I have their cuticle oil in the same scent, and it's my fave. The shea butter is nice too. I used it on my hands and it felt really nice.

Alright, on to the polish! First, we have Summer Tan. This polish has a tan creamy base with tiny gold glitters throughout. I don't really know how to describe it other than to say that it is glowy. This is two coats with one coat of Seche Vite on top.

Next, is Calama. This one is really pretty and totally unique in my collection. It is a super opaque green filled with tiny shimmery glitters. It's really opaque - this is only one coat!

Last, I have Costa Dorada. It is a beautiful gold-yellow base filled with gold flakies, shimmers, and hex glitters.

Thank you so much for checking out my blog today. Have a great weekend!
