My First Rainbow Honey!!!

OMGoodness!!! I got my very First Rainbow Honey!!!! I got Koi Pond in the Mail at the end of last week and I couldn't wait to put it on my nails!!!  I layered this beauty over Julep Sasha,  cantaloupe melon creme.  I wanted something bright but would still let Koi Pond stand out!!!

Koi Pond is a Glitter extravaganza of black, sliver, teal, blue, green, and coral glitter suspended in a clear base.  I only had to use one coat and as you can see perfect even coverage!!!

 

I got so many compliments on this polish, It's it beautiful!!!

 

Now like most glitters Koi Pond was top coat hungry, but a quick coat of Gelous took care of that:) The only complaint I have is the brush in the mini it doesn't come far enough off of the cap for my taste.  But Beyond that I ♥♥♥ this polish!!!!  Now to get your own Rainbow Polish ( you know you want too!!!) Check out their Facebook,  and Website.  Full Size Polishes are $10 and Mini's are $5 and Shipping is SUPER fast!!!

Dreamer... Multichrome TIOT

For Try it on Tuesday I have another Fab Polish from my friend in Brazil.  Today I have HITS Mari Moon Dreamer.  I can't stop look at my Nails!!!!

Now Dreamer is a Multichrome polish, she shifts from a midnight blue to Purple, Red, and Orange.  Check out All her Colors:)

(if you take pics of Multichromes underwater you can capture all the colors)

 

 Here she is in the Sun:) I have her layered over Sinful Colors Black On Black. Otherwise you would need lots of coats. 

 I have noticed that as pretty as Hits polishes are they are thin and not super pigmented, but are great as a layering polish. You can pick up this and others at Llarowe for approx $8 per or get the set for $28:) What are you wearing for Try it on Tuesday???

Pin it Thursday Jelly Sandwich

 Pin it Thursday # 2 is in full force today:)  I wanted to do something super simple as it has been a CRAZY week!!! I choose this PIN as my inspiration. A simple jelly sandwich. Now I have never done a Jelly Sandwich before (I know, where have I been) I decided to do two variations of the Jelly Sandwich Pink and Teal:)

For the Pink I used Zoya Paloma, and sandwiched in Jordana Glitters in Magenta Magic and Silver Jewel. and put once coat of Paloma on top.  I think I would have liked this more had I used 2 coats of Paloma to top it off.

For the teal version which is much like the original I used Zoya Frida as my based followed by Orly Glam FX in Mermaid Tale, followed by 1 coat of Frida and TA-DA perfection!!!!

 

 

So what did you do for Pin it Thursday???  Oh and a quick FYI;) I have a HUGE Surprise coming your way in a couple of weeks, I can't hardly wait!!!!

Boxer Shorts and Glitter by datyorkLOVES

Technically this is a Try it on Tuesday Post:) So let's try on Essie Boxer Shorts:) Now I just LOVE the name of this Polish, I couldn't imagine a more unlikely color for  a pair of Boxer Shorts. Anyway this polish is a perfect creme cornflower blue. This color look remarkably close to Essie Bikini so Teeny, but Bikini has a slight Shimmer and is about 2 shades lighter. 

Inside Flash

Look at the Purple tone in the Sun:)

Now you know I had to add some glitter to this bad boy:) I put a quick coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust and added some pink stars and green hearts from datyorkLOVES GlitterLand

 

I ♥♥♥ this glitter from GlitterLand. It is soooo cute, the only complaint is that I have yet to figure out how to pickup a piece of glitter and put it on my nail with-out smudging my mani!!!!  Also this Mani lasted all of about 1 hour because I kept snagging the glitter on Stuff:(

Sparkle Aplenty

Today while browsing my local Walgreens, I saw a new display (Exciting for me cause I'm in there 3 times a week:) Revlon's Fall Runway "Limited Edition"  Sparkle Aplenty was calling to me.  I am a sucker for Glitter so I HAD to get it, plus it was on sale:)

Sparkle Aplenty is a Black Jelly with Silver and Black Hex's and small Glitters.  This polish does anything but sparkle aplenty:(  The formula on this polish is bad!!!!  It's almost like it has too much Glitter, which makes it very clumpy.  The Jelly Base is streaky(even after three coats), and without a top coat it has almost a matte finish.

  I haven't given up quite yet on this polish. But I will be putting it on the shelf for a while... at least until I get the images of this clumpy mess out of my head... Do you have this Polish??? Did I just get a bad bottle???

♥ ~ Melissa

update 8/30  After talking with several other bloggers I have determined that I probably got a bad bottle:( I have contacted Revlon and will keep you updated:)

365 Miracle Balm!!!!

Today I wanna share something super special!!!! For a couple of months now I have been hearing about this stuff called Sunny's Miracle Balm, but I wasn't quite sure what it was. Then one day I was browsing FB( like every other day) and saw a post on 365 Days of Color's Wall about her awesome Miracle balm. So I though JACKPOT now I know where to get it:)  I knew she made some awesome polish but all the other goodies I had no idea.  Check out her shop HERE:)  So I ordered a few:)

I picked up her sampler pack where you get 3 for $5.  Now I can't say enough great things about this Miracle balm, it smells yummy, conditions great, and is a true miracle for rough cuticles!!!!  As for Scents I let Sunny pick out mine execpt for Cucumber Mint, and this Girl has great taste (She has about 100 scents to choose from too).  I also got Darya a Teal green glitter ($8 full size, $4.50 for Minis).  I also might add that this is my very first Indie polish, and I couldn't be happier.

I layered 2 coats of Darya over Sinful Colors Black on Black, and isn't she gorgeous.

 Here is a close up, the consistancy of the glitter in the polish is AMAZING!!! No need to move glitter around:) and check out the cuticles too, super smooth:)

 

I must say this will not be my last purchase from 365 Days of Color, as I just saw that she has a collection coming out inspired by my favorite Halloween Movie Hocus Pocus!!!!

Nothing Else Metals.... but Splish Splash

A couple of weeks ago I won a Giveaway:) I got Essie Nothing Else Metals from the Lovely Melissa @ Nails And Paint:) If you haven't check her out you should. She does some fabulous simple nail art and has a great Essie Collection!!!! Nothing else Metals is a beautiful Lavender Chrome:) and a 1 coat polish dream:)

Now I had my suspicions that Nothing Else Metals would be a great Stamping polish and it is!!!! Just Look at her over China Glaze Splish Splash!!!!  I used Bundle Monster Plate BM-215 for this fabulous fan design.

...And did I mention Splish Splash, part of China Glaze Summer Neons Collection, is on Clearance right now at Sally's Beauty!!!!
