Are you dizzy with excitement about nail polish?

 The Robots have arrived!!  This is going to be a huuuge post with a zillion pictures.  Just sayin'.  And check out the cute new 4ml bottles!
 Ready or not, here we go!  These are all swatches I did using just base coat and one coat of polish.  I did not use any clean up (forgive me!).  If I was going to wear any of these for a mani, I'd probably opt for a second coat of polish, just because.  You could get away with only one coat if you were careful to avoid streaks.
 The formula on all of the foils was easy to work with.  I did notice that they can get brush-strokey - so just keep that in mind.  Dry time was good.
 I haven't worn any as manis, yet, so I cannot comment on wear time.
 One of my brushes had a few stray "hairs" that I decided to trim, otherwise, all brushes were perfect.
 Femme Bot is described as a "sparkling metallic peony."
 Now that I've rambled on about the important things, I'm going to leave you (mostly) to enjoy the pictures!  I hope you like them.
 Dusty Bot is described as a "sparkling metallic lavender."
 You can see that I struggled with brush strokes a little bit on this one.  LOVE the color.




 Skyward Bot is described as a "sparkling metallic cerulean."

 I've been craving a foily metallic blue lately, so this one fits the bill quite nicely!


 Bitty Love Bot is described as a "sparkling metallic aqua."
 This one surprised me by being my favorite of the bunch.  Maybe I just like how it looks against my skin.  Super pretty color!




 Lucky Bot is described as a "sparkling metallic agave."
 Please pardon the little hiccup on my ring finger.  It might have been a bubble.  I'm not sure.




 Yoshimi is described as "a truly mod black & white combination of glitters sprinkled with a bit of iridescence."  It would be a great topper on any of these polishes and I'm sure plenty of others!
 I used about a coat of it here.  I did go back over a few spots on my index and middle fingers - so those two fingers had more like a coat and a half each.
 Also, my coat may have been too thick on my ring finger since I think I see some bubbles.
 I think this is a really chic combination here, but I'm also pondering that I might like Yoshimi even more over a creme or shimmer finish.  I tend not to love glitters over top of very metallic polishes.
 Overall, I really enjoy The Robot Collection by Rainbow Honey!  While it's not a super unique collection in terms of colors or finish, I find it to be fresh, girly, fun, and well made.  They really are lovely colors for Spring!
The Robot Collection will be available on rainbowhoney.com and with participating retail partners on April 5th!  You can get it with full-sized 15ml bottles or the new 4ml bottles.

This collection was graciously provided to me for review purposes by Rainbow Honey, to whom I am extremely grateful and honored.  What you read here was my honest opinion...blah blah blah.  :)

 'Twas a gloomy day when these pictures were taken!
 But look how the glitter twinkles, even in the gloom.  :)
 This is two coats of a-england Guinevere with a coat of Butter London Tart with a Heart.
 I got so many compliments on this mani - I was kind of surprised by that.
 Yes...it IS beautiful!  And what's not to love?  You just never know what people will say and when.
The formula and application on both was grand.

 This is one of Nikole's latest creations via Hare Polish.  Cosmo Blossoms!
 I used two coats here and it applied really well.
 The base is a milky, ambiguous sort of gray that at times looks a bit lavender and/or even pink-ish.
 It's got loads of lovely green glitter!
 I really, really head-over-heels adore this polish!
 Not long after I took these pictures, I experienced slight tip shrink that left me reeling.
I don't think I'd necessarily want to use underwear in the future (although the right soft gray or possibly even nude polish would likely do the trick), but if I didn't do that, then I would need to be sure not to use a quick-dry top coat to avoid the dreaded shrink.

This polish is not for sale to the public at this time, sadly, but stay tuned to Nikole's tumblr for updates and Hare info!  You can find it here.

 Here is three coats of Rescue Beauty Lounge Pizzicato.
 It looks like a pale, pink, glass-flecked shimmer in the sun.
 I found that in most types of lighting it looked much more lilac or lavender on me.
 It's a very pretty, delicate sort of look.  Oh!  And I cut my nails shorter just because!  I'm happy to say that it wasn't because of a break or tear or anything bad.  I just wanted them shorter.  :)  It's a nice change for me.
 I found the formula ever so slightly difficult to work with.  It got kind of thick on me, and I felt that it looked a tad streaky in places (see picture below).
I tried this mani using Butter London's base and top coats.  Big mistake!  I smudged the bejeebus out of my pinky nail, somehow, five freaking hours after I had applied everything!  I was oh so sad.  I will probably give them a try again, later, using Butter London polishes, but I have to tell you I'm slightly terrified at this point.


This Is Me!

My photo
I love color, beauty, creativity, animals, and being care-free. I'm not care-free, in reality, but would like to think it's an attainable state of being! I do like to bend the rules when it serves a greater purpose and I'm all about being authentic. Here I am, take me or leave me! I suppose I'd call myself a sensitive soul. I think I feel things more deeply and ponder things more thoroughly than your average bear.
