Rainbow Honey the Equestria Collecion

Tonight I have a very glitterfied post for you all. Yesterday I came home to my much anticipated Rainbow Honey order!!!!! In case you don't know who Rainbow Honey is she has a facebook page and a blog . You can only get her polishes through pre-orders but I love that you don't have to wait all night for a store to open :)

This was the first time Ive tried one of her polishes and it wont be the last. I bought the whole mini set to try them out and I love the fact that they are 7ml!!! They are also jam packed with glitter, no fishing around needed. Here's how she describes her 6 colors :)

She describes all these colors perfectly!!!!

Now to see what my bottles looked like, they are sooo sticking adorable!!!!

Shes obviously put alot of thought into the design of her bottles and labels and it shows. the names are on the tops of the bottles which I love because they will be really easy to see in my helmer, and her logo is really creative.

So after looking at her swatches I decided to do 2 coats of each of the polishes over a white base. Next time im definatly gonna try them over a black base :)

Left side :
Pinkie/thumb : A little kindness
Pointer/ring : The element of magic
Middle : 20% cooler

Right side:
Pinkie/thumb : Pinkie promise
Pointer/ring : Hoof wrassle
Middle: The worst thing possible

My favorites definatly have to be Pinkie promise and The worst thing possible. I love the glitter in them and that they are really girly. All of these colors are definatly really unique and a must have to anyone collection.

Anyways I hope you all like my swatches and look out for tomorrows post where im starting a new challenge :)

China Glaze Summer Neons Swatches & Review

I have a very special post for you guys today!!!! You all know that I bought the whole China Glaze Summer Neon's collection last week and I promised you all swatches on them. For those of you that don't know this collection can already be purchased at Cosmo prof, however if you aren't a hairstylist or nail tech or such then unfortunately you cant shop in one :( However Sally Beauty Supply will be selling them as of June 1st!!!! I will warn you this is pretty picture heavy. I used 2 coats for each color and all are taken with flash in artificial light and without top coat.

Splish Splash is an awesome blue shimmer.  The application was flawless, nice and easy with no streaks. I'm in love with blue these days so this was right up my ally. Unfortunately I don't like that with 2 coats you can still see VNL so I would do a 3rd coat for a manicure.

Love's a Beach is an insanely pink shimmer. This would be an awesome pedicure color in the summer. It applied soo easy, and is such a gorgeous color that i'm absolutely in love with it!!!!! I love that fact that you don't really see any VNL with this color :)

I'm With the Lifeguard is a green shimmer. This color really reminds me of the perfect summer color. Its so bright and happy, I couldn't stop staring at it. Downfall again is that I would use a 3rd coat of this as there is some VNL but this color is prefect besides that.

Beach Cruise-r is a purple shimmer. I find it was a bit of a pink undertone which I absolutly love!!!! This was one of the colors that I was most excited to see in person from the previews and it didn't disappoint!!!  

Pink Plumeria is a light pink shimmer. This color reminds me of bubblegum!! Its such a pretty color the photos really don't do it justice. This is probably my favorite color out of the whole group but again id due another coat to get rid of the VNL. But everything else about this color is nothing but pure perfection!!!!

Under the Boardwalk is a purple jelly. There are only 2 jellies in this whole collection. Now i'm not a huge fan on jellies unless i'm gonna do a glitter sandwich with them mostly because of that darn VSN. And in order to get rid of that with a jelly I find you need way to many coats. However I was pleasantly surprised to see that with only 2 coats there isn't much VNL with this particular color which I'm sooo happy about as its really pretty :)

Orange You Hot? is a orange shimmer that has more of a yellow undertone to it. This color is insanely bright, the pictures just didn't capture it. You would need to use a 3rd coat again to get rid of that VNL but its just soo pretty. Would be awesome with a great tan for the summer.

Flirty Tankini is a medium pink/coral shimmer. As you can tell there are quiet a few pinks in this collection but they are all different hues and tones which as awesome!!! A girl can never have enough pinks. This one was a pleasant surprise for me. I love how it has the coral tone to it.

Hang-ten Toes is another pink shimmer. However this is a very cool toned pink that is really bright and prefect for the pink lovers out there. It could use a 3rd coat as per usual for that VNL but its just sooo pretty, and so appropriate for the season. However this is the one color that I found hard to apply it was a bit streaky but evened out with the second coat pretty well.

Ride the Waves is a blue jelly. This is the only other jelly in the collection. This has to be my least favorite color in the collection even thou its blue. I just cant stand how much VNL there still is with the 2 coats. The other jelly had way better coverage. But I do bet that this color would make one wicked glitter sandwich which I may have to try :)

Surfin' for Boys is an electric orange shimmer. Its crazy how warm and bright this color is. The application was sooo nice and its just insanely gorgeous!!! I usually don't like oranges but I am in love with this one!!!

Sun-kissed is a yellow shimmer with a green undertone. This color is the brightest out of the whole collection!!! As you can tell from the photos, which again don't do it justice. You do need a 3rd coat of this one to get rid of that VNL but its soooo pretty!! This will probably be my next pedicure color :)

Overall i'm very happy with this whole collection. I think next time id do 3 coats of every color just to get full coverage adn get rid of that VNL. All of that were really nice to apply besides the one. And they are all a must have for the summer and for anyone that loves a good neon. I especially love that 10 of the 12 have simmer in them which is not common in most neon's!!!

Anyways I hope you all enjoyed my first full collection review and hopefully ill have a chance to do another <3 Thanks for reading!!!!

Essence color & go swatches and reviews

Ive had a few ladies in my birthday group ask for swatches of the Essence color & go polishes I bought the other day. Since Ive already used 2 of them in a past manicure I decided to swatch the other 8 :)

This is 2 coats of Walk of fame. Its a great grey/taupe cream color, applied really smooth. I think this color would be great to do nail art on as I bet a lot of colors would complement it.

Break through took 2 coats. Its a magenta cream that was a bit thick but applied nice. Ill definitely have to try this one in the summer again as it much brighter than the picture captures.

This is 2 coats of High spirits. Its a dusty green with shimmer. Applied really well. I was kinda iffy on this color just looking at it in the bottle but its really nice on the nails.

Wanna be your sunshine took 3 coats and still isn't completely smooth. This has to have been my least favorite to apply. It was so think and streaky. But the yellow cream does have a gorgeous shimmer to it. Would look amazing on the toes :)

A lovely secret took 2 coats for this, and is by far my favorite color out of the 10 I bought so far. Its a gorgeous lilac cream with a pink shimmer in it. The picture really doesn't do it justice and will use this for a nail art manicure soon probably.

This is 4 coats of Sweet as candy. As you can see its still sheer. This would be great used as a french manicure but to build it up to an opaque color would take way to many coats.

Space cadet is a glitter topcoat with a slight pink undertone. I used 2 coats of it alone for this manicure but I think it would look live over any of there colors.

Here is 2 coats of Lime up. Its an awesome lime green cream that applies really nice surprisingly. The first coat went on quiet streaky but the second smoothed everything out. And this is what i'm going to use as my manicure for today, ill show some stamping on it in a bit.

Overall i'm really impressed with the Essence color & go polishes Ive bought so far. I definitely plan to buy the remaining 10 this weekend in which time ill swatch those as well for you guys :)
