Are you dizzy with excitement about nail polish?

 This here is China Glaze Deviantly Daring.  I used two coats here and had no problems with application.
 Any time I use this type of polish, kind of metallic duochrome, I am always a little more cautious and careful than normal, just to avoid unnecessary brush strokes.
 Funny thing about this color - I loved swatches online (and still do), and I even think my pictures are really pretty.  Somehow, in person, it fell flat for me.  I don't know why!  It just felt kind of BLAH.
 Am I crazy?!  Has anyone else felt this way about Deviantly Daring?
I think I probably also expected it to be more duochrome than it really is.  In person, it only has a very minimal flash to it.  Nonetheless, I think it's a great teal polish.  If you like teal, I'm pretty sure you'll like this!

 Rainbow Honey recently sent me three of their newest polishes from The Summer of 199X collection which is due out in about an hour and a half!  Above, you are seeing two coats of Pink Cloud.
 I just had to try these glitters over black, too.  So here is one coat of Pink Cloud over black.  I had trouble due to Pink Cloud being really thick, so it's not the result I was hoping for.
 I think if I had thinned it and maybe been a little more careful I could have done better.  Despite it being thick, I really had no problems applying it when I swatched it in two coats on its own!
 Next up is two coats of Fire Spring.
 Fire Spring is just juicy delicious and applied easily enough.
 I also wanted to see how it looked over black, so below is one coat over top of black.
 A little thick, but better looking overall than Pink Cloud.
 Now for my favorite!  THE KRAKEN!!!!  Can you tell I love this?  Here is two coats on its own.
 Thick, but manageable and absofrickinlutely gorgeous!
 Here is one coat over black.  Very, very cool.  Me gusta.
 The thing I love most about The Kraken, aside from its color and it's glittery-ness, is how much it glows.
 Lastly, above and below, you are seeing it as my mani.  I wore one coat over top of OPI Road House Blues.  I used two top coats for smoothing - Sephora X first and then Rainbow Honey's Summer Juice scented top coat.  It smells really yummy!!  The scent was not over-powering at all, and only really lasted about 12 hours on me.  I had ordered that top coat in a set from FAB.com.
 I've been wearing this for six days now and only today have a chip.
The Kraken is all win for me, and I have to say I'm excited to try others from this beautiful collection.  I have pre-ordered minis of all of them (I couldn't make up my mind!), and am ridiculously excited for Magic Cake (I even ordered a large one extra of that).

You can order these on rainbowhoney.com starting at 12:01 a.m. (EST) June 21st!  Click here to go to their site.

The swatches were all done using one coat of top coat and I used base coat for all the swatches featuring a black base.  I did use some clean up with the black based swatches.

Are you guys excited for these?!

Thanks so much to Rainbow Honey for providing me with these polishes for review purposes.

 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.  :)


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.
