Rainbow Honey: The Yokai Collection

I've been absent from the blog and Facebook for the last few weeks but I'm back. And I have some very gorgeous lacquers to share from Rainbow Honey.

I recently received The Yokai Collection from Rainbow Honey, which is a limited edition, three piece collection. Yokai are supernatural monsters in Japanese folklore so this collection makes for a great break from traditional Halloween themed collections that are currently on the market.

I used two coats of each lacquer and one coat of Poshe fast dry topcoat. All photos were taken in natural light, without flash.

Kitsune: The Magical White Fox

Kitsune has a golden cream base that is chock full of autumnal hues -- gold, bronze, and orange -- with a golden shimmer throughout.

Kitsune is an excellent way to do a neutral glitter. The polish is soft and subtle in a good way. Kitsune has a warmth that makes it seem to glow.

Kawako: The Mischievous River Child

Kawako has a stunning midnight blue base with blue and silver glitter throughout. It has a somewhat iridescent quality that you can see in the photo above.

Kawako is a versatile sort of lacquer that would be perfect for a night on the town or paired with business wear. This reminds me of the ocean depths and is definitely a polish I found it easy to dive into.

Oni: The Malevolent Wild Demon

Oni has a hearty brown base with golden flecks and glitters disbursed throughout.

Oni was my favorite of the trio, although I loved each of them. Like Kitsune, Oni seems to glow from within and is the perfect fall color. This one makes me want to curl up with a good book and a mug of hot chocolate.

Application was great with all three lacquers. They are very dense so it's best to wait a little bit between layers.

Rainbow Honey polishes are available here. The Yokai Collection went on sale yesterday aYou should also check out the Rainbow Honey Facebook page for updates and other great information.

Feenix Polish: Falling For You (2 Ways)

Falling For You is the third polish I've had the honor of recently reviewing for Feenix Polish and I have it shown two ways so that you can see how it might look over colors you have in your collection.

Falling For You has a Falling For You has a shimmery, dark gold/light brown base with lots of different glitters in gold, red, orange, and brown. Some of the glitters are matte, some are not. The combination is wonderful.

This is an awesome polish with a lot of versatility. As Feenix Polish suggests on Etsy, you can try this over Twigs, which I reviewed here. I decided to try it over a couple of colors. 

First up is Zoya Carmen, a gorgeous red creme.

 

This is one coat of Falling For You over Zoya Carmen:

And then I tried Falling For You over OPI Schnapps Out of It! In the bottle, Schnapps looks like a "mature" color (read: something your grandma probably owns). But on the nails it's actually quite lovely and is appropriate for almost every occasion. It's a sort of dusty, muted brick red with some orange and pink tones. There is also the slightest bit of shimmer.

 And here is one coat of Falling for You over Schnapps Out of It!

I really, really enjoyed Falling For You. It's a great layering color and I'm certain that everyone has a color in her collection that's going to look great with some Falling For You layered on top of it. I would highly recommend that you pick this color up before the leaves change color and fall off of the trees!

Feenix Polishes can be purchased on Etsy and you can keep up to date with Feenix Polish on their Facebook page and blog. Make sure you show some love for this great brand!

Feenix Polish: Cammie & Zoya: Noot

Yesterday I reviewed Feenix Polish Twigs and today on its own and today I have a great polish to layer over Twigs and many other great colors that you probably already have in your collection -- Feenix Polish Cammie. Fair warning, this is a picture-heavy post.

Cammie is, as the name hints, based on camoflague. Feenix Polish describes it as having "a base of shimmering khaki" and 14 different glitters. 

Cammie's designated under is Twigs. Here is one coat of Cammie over two coats of Twigs. 

I love this combination! And Cammie is a very versatile topcoat, as you can see if you click "Read more" -- I paired it with Zoya Noot after the jump!

Breakfast Combo No. 1! A Duo with The Baconian Method and Go Sit On A Egg

The latest addition to the Tough As Nails Lacquer line is a duo. Breakfast Combo No. 1 includes The Baconian Method and Go Sit On A Egg. This playful duo is for sale on the Tough As Nails Lacquer Etsy shop. Shorty size duos are $10 and full size duos are $16. 

 
THE BACONIAN METHOD

The Baconian Method is a brown glitter topcoat. It includes brown, orange, red, black, and white glitters in hex and bar shapes.

Here is one coat of The Baconian Method over one coat of Cult Nails Swanborne, a brown lacquer with a gold shimmer:

GO SIT ON A EGG

Go Sit On A Egg is a delicious almost white but still yellow jelly-based lacquer with gold, yellow, and orange hex glitters dispersed throughout. The poor grammar is intentional, and "Go Sit On A Egg" doubles as a lacquer and a great phrase that a beloved in-black-and-white child actor muttered in one of my favorite television series. 

Here are three coats of Go Sit On A Egg, no undies:

 And here is one coat of Go Sit On A Egg over a white creme:

 I hope that you enjoy the latest additions to my line!

Dollish Polish: The Hero of Time

My brother and I used to take turns playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time all the time when we were younger. And then I got stuck in the water level and had to have him beat the rest of the game for me. But I have a lot of fond memories of Zelda. 

So Dollish Polish's The Legend of Zelda Duo holds a special place in my heart. 

Here is The Hero of Time:

 And here is The Hero of Time on the nails:

Cult Nails: Power Thief & Pahlish: Your Silver Lining Combo

As I've stated before, I really like Cult Nails. It's a great brand run by a great woman and they have a whole bunch of brown polishes, which are my new favorite color.

So today I have Cult Nails Power Thief. Power Thief has amazing little flecks of silver throughout that take a basic brown polish to a whole new level.

Check out the bottle macro. And no, Power Thief doesn't have any purple glitter in it, that's just my bad.

 And here are two coats of Power Thief with one coat of a random topcoat. <3

The silver in Power Thief lends to the polish appearing lighter or darker, depending on how the light hits it. Below shows Power Thief at the lightest I saw it:

 It's beautiful no matter what shade it's showing. 

So as you might have noticed since you are reading this blog and literate, I mentioned Pahlish Your Silver Lining in the title. Yet, I haven't shown Your Silver Lining yet. Well this was initially just supposed to be a post about Power Thief, but I apparently really like Cult Nails/Pahlish combos because I have another one.

Cult Nails: Cruisin' Nude & Pahlish: Bixby Canyon Bridge

Today, I have my favorite nude polish and my favorite brown glitter polish -- together in one great mani!

First up is my absolute favorite nude polish: Cult Nails Cruisin' Nude. Cult Nails is a recently new-to-me brand and I love every polish that I've purchased. If you don't own any Cult Nails lacquers, they are a must for your collection.

What makes Cruisin' Nude so great is that it has the slightest shimmer, which you can see here:

While I love Cruisin' Nude on its own, I wanted to jazz it up a little bit and chose to do so with one coat of Pahlish's Bixby Canyon Bridge:

 This has beautiful gold holo hexes in it, along with brown and orange. LOVE.

And here is the end result. And no, I cannot explain why my index finger has a kind of weird brown smudge at the tip. I think it must have something to do with the shimmer in the polish and the glitter.
