Swatch Spam: Rainbow Honey

On this fine sunny day I have some swatch spam for you all :)

Rainbow Honey: 

The Equestria Collection

I have swatched all of these over black and white, in the sun and in the shade. The left side of the nail is over black and the right side is over white.

Celestia
A gorgeous multi-colored flakie polish that can change the look of any base color!

Mare of the Moon

A deepened purple blue with holographic hex glitter and moon shaped glitter.

The Worst Possible Thing
Holographic deliciousness! Lilacs and blues with silver holographic glitter. A great layering polish!

Pinkie Promise
That gorgeous yellow flakie base with pink bar and hex glitter mixed with blue and yellow glitter. Do you see how the base color changes over black?! CRAZY!

The Element of Magic
Purple shimmery flakiness packed base with various purple glitters and small holographic glitter.

20% Cooler
A blue shimmery base with multiple different colored hexagon glitters.

Hoof Wrassle
An orange, jelly, sheer base that builds up gorgeously! Also packed with yellow and gold glitters.

A Little Kindness
A color shifting lilac and pink flakie base with gold, purple, and opaque glitter.

If you haven't heard of The Equestria Collection by Rainbow Honey, you should catch up!! These polishes are so gorgeous and I could not wait to get my hands on them! Oh and the packaging and bottles are to die for and are super cute!

Currently she is working on pre-orders, but should be finishing soon and opening up for shop! "Like" Rainbow Honey on Facebook for updates on her next shop opening and new colors and collections!

Franken Feature: Pretty & Polished

Beach Bunny

Beach Bunny is another great polish created by Chelsea!! She is a genius when it comes to this stuff!

Beach Bunny is a pretty neon orange/pink jelly with multiple different colors and sized glitter.

The formula was relatively easy to work with and the glitter cooperated rather well.

I am loving the depth the polish gives with the different sized glitter.

The glitter sizes range from small to large white hex as well as medium sized holographic pink hex and bar glitter.

This is a perfect nail polish color for spring and summer, for your nails or your toes!

Pretty & Polished Beach Bunny can be purchased with its husband, Beach Bum in the Beachy Keen Duo. The duo retails for $15 plus shipping on her etsy shop.

Ludurana Aurora Boreal Fascinante

Ludurana Fascinante

Fascinante is from the Aurora Boreal collection by Ludurana. Fascinante is a gorgeous multi-chrome nail polish that has great coverage in 2 coats! It also dries super glossy, so no top coat is needed!

The multi-chrome effect is from pink to an orange-brown to gold.

Pink

Pink to Orange-Brown

Gold

I am really loving these multi-chromes!! I think more are going to be added to my wish list immediately!!

The only issue is that they are a bit streaky and can leave bald spots so careful precise application is needed.

Luduranas are available on Llarowe. Llarowe is a website dedicated to selling gorgeous nail polish! You can also "Like" them on Facebook to get updates on stock and sales!!

Luduranas retail for $14 USD and are 8mL a bottle.

Ludurana Emocionante Flakie-fied Matte

Ludurana Emocionante, Nubar 2010, and Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love

Yesterday I mentioned me adding yet another combination to that spectacular and breathtaking combo. Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love.

This just can't get any better!!! I really love the matte flakie look!! Too bad right after this, I lost my Hard Candy Matte :( Im hoping to buy another soon.

HITS Demeter

HITS Demeter

Demeter is part of the HITS No Olimpio collection. Demeter is a gorgeous orange holographic.

The one thing I didn't really care for about Demeter is the opacity of this color, it is quite hard to reach it fully. I recommend putting a base coat color first, such as white, black, orange, or whatever color suites your needs. Other than that, this color is great and unique!

Another thing that was quite difficult was the brush. I am not sure if I just got a defective brush or what but they are really oddly shaped.

As you can see, the brush is slanted but uneven as well.

HITS are $10 for 6mL each.

You can purchase HITS from Leah Ann, the US Stockist, over at her online shop Llarowe.

China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy

Warning!! Sunglasses recommended!! China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy is a very bright, orange, pink, neon! This color just screams summer and is definitely bright indoors and out!


Flip Flop Fantasy is a little tempered brat who likes to leave streaks. In order to prevent this I started out with a white base coat. I applied 4 coats of this bad boy, even after the white base!! Each coat that I did apply dried relatively quick given the fact that it is a neon.
