Rainbow Honey's Magic Cake

Hey everyone!! I was recently lucky enough to win a Instagram Giveaway and one of the prizes was Rainbow Honey "Magic Cake"!! I was super excited because I've not tried any of their polishes before and have only good things about their products! 

    Natural light
 
This is one coat over a black base. Look at that! No fishing or dabbing, great dry time as well. 

Here's a macro! 


Oooh!! Aaah!!! I'll leave you with your thoughts. Lol :p
 
If you're interested in purchasing from Rainbow Honey, you can find them on Instagram @rainbowhoney or go directly to their online shop! Rainbowhoney.com

Polish Me Silly Thermals!

Hey everyone! I've been wanting a thermal polish so badly for the longest time. Like lusting over them lol. Luckily for me, I just got my first ones! I got three from Polish Me Silly (formerly Lush Lacquer). 

First is "Grape Intentions"

    Natural light. 

This is a jelly polish with a fun assortment of purple, pink, and silver glitter. It's purple when room temperature/hot. 

    Natural light. 

When cold, it's a gorgeous pink! 

And here's a transition shot!


Next is "I'm Bananas 4 U"

    Natural light. 

I love this! My fave thermal! When cold, it's green and yellow when warm. It has green and yellow hexes, micro gold, and yellow dot glitter!

Last is "Peach Me A Lesson"

    Natural light. 

This one is cute and girly, so awesome! So this thermal polish is light pink when warm/hot and a peachy pink colour when cold. It has various various pinks and sized glitter. 

I didn't have to fish for any glitter, application was so smooth and perfect. I highly recomend these! All photos are three coats of polish. If you're interested in buying from this indie company, you can find them on Instagram @polishmesilly2 and their website is polishmesilly.etsy.com. 

Thanks for stopping by!

My first Julep polishes!

Hey everyone! While I was doing some Boxing Day shopping, I stopped in at Sephora for the first time. I soon discovered they sell Julep polishes!!! I had to grab me some of my firsts!!

This is "Bette"

    Natural light

This is 3 coats no topcoat. It dries to a semi matte finish. I'm excited to do a jelly sandwich with this one!

This is "Madison" 

    Natural light 

This is 3 coats, no topcoat. Also another jelly. The only thing I didn't like about this one is that it made my nails look yellow underneath. 
Application for both was good except that on Bette's first coat, it was a little streaky. Dry time was awesome. 
These retail for $16 CAD. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Candy Nail Polish

Hi there! Who's excited for Christmas!?! Clearly I am lol! I had the honour of being able to swatch for a new Canadian Indie polish company called Candy Nail. The owner Kim opened shop October 31 and creates great polishes that are 3-free and cruelty free!! 
I was sent 3 samples to swatch from her Holiday Collection! They ALL had amazing formulas that applied like butter and fantastic dry times!

**These polishes were sent to me from Candy Nail to swatch and review**

This is "Hot Cacao"

    Natural light. 

    Natural light. 

This is a perfect milk chocolate brown with a gorgeous shimmer running through it. I used 3 coats and no top coat for the photos above. 

Here's "Mint Tea"

    Natural light

    Natural light. 

This here is a green jelly with gold glitter which is totally festive! I must say I'm not too fond of greens and I probably own about 2 green nail polishes. However, I love this one!! Especially when my boyfriend complimented me saying how nice it looked. :p it's darker in real life though. It was hard for me to capture the true colour it has. I used 3 coats with no top coat for the photos above. 

Lastly is "Cranberry Cider" 

    Natural light 

    Natural light. 

Red+jelly+glitter=WIN!!! I can't even express how much I love this! This is a red jelly with assorted sized red,black, and silver holo glitters! The name is so perfect for it as well. This is 3 coats with a top coat of Seche Vite.
