Rainbow Honey The Kracken

Afternoon lovelies!  I have another gorgeous Rainbow Honey from the Summer of 199X collection to share.  All the polish I have reviewed in this collection has been so fun and perfect for the hot weather this summer.  Just a little recap for you, Dee the creator of Rainbow Honey, was inspired by the SNES game Earthbound for this collection.  Now I didn't play that game, but it doesn't mean I can't enjoy all these beautiful colors!  I have reviews of Apple Kid/I Miss You, Mint Flavor/I Miss You, Fire Spring and Pink Cloud which are all from the 199X collection.  You can head over to Rainbow Honey on Facebook to see more colors or the SHOP to purchase the polish.  Rainbow Honey is also available on fab.com in fun sets!  You can also keep up with Rainbow Honey on IG (rainbowhoney).  

This is The Kracken!  The Kracken is an amazing polish full of aqua, teal and green glitters!  These all float about in a light teal jelly base.  It's the perfect name for this polish because it makes me think of the sparkling blue Mediterranean waters around Greece which makes me think of Greek Mythology which leads me to Clash of the Titans (the movie) and finally to The Kracken.  I just played 6 degrees to The Kracken, how'd you like that!?  Anyways, it's beautiful and was my favorite of the 3 Rainbow Honeys I recently reviewed.  I have 3 coats of The Kracken alone on my ring finger.  The rest of my fingers are 1 coat of OPI Ski Teal We Drop, a dusty deep teal creme, and 1 coat of The Kracken.  The formula on this was also the best of the group I just tried out (Pink Cloud and Fire Spring).  It was a great consistency, not as thick as the others, and it spread well on the nails.  The glitters laid flat and really sparkle!  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.

Rainbow Honey Pink Cloud

Hi there polish friends!  I have a fun, girly polish to share today.  I hope you like pink!  This is Pink Cloud and it's from the Rainbow Honey Summer of 199X collection.  This collection is inspired by maker Dee's love of the SNES game Earthbound.  I've reviewed a few polishes from this collection and you can see them HERE, HERE and HERE.  You can follow Rainbow Honey on Facebook, IG (rainbowhoney), and can purchase polish from the SHOP and fab.com.  

Pink Cloud is a bubblegum pink bordering on neon territory.  I see hot pink shimmer and pink-magenta glitters as well as holo silver and sheer white matte glitters.  The color combination is pretty awesome!  I used 2 coats of Pink Cloud and found the formula to be on the thick side.  If you bought (or are going to buy this) I would suggest you use a couple drops of thinner if you find yours to be thick.  That should fix it right up to a lovely consistency that will be easy to apply.  I used 1 layer of topcoat but would suggest 2 as this was a little topcoat hungry.  

Rainbow Honey Fire Spring

Morning sure comes around fast these days!  So here we are again, looking at more nail polish!  You want to know something, I never get tired of it.  I know you don't either.  I have a couple more polishes to review form the recent Rainbow Honey Summer of 199X collection.  The Summer of 199X collection was inspired by the SNES game from the 90's called Earthbound.  If you missed my previous posts you can see Apple Kid/I Miss You HERE and Mint Flavor/I Miss You HERE.  You can follow Rainbow Honey of Facebook and IG (rainbowhoney).  You can purchase Rainbow Honey directly from the SHOP or from fab.com.

This is Fire Spring.  Love the color, love the name.  Here's the description Dee gave for Fire Spring, "Fire Spring, a coppery orange shimmer, is bursting with holographic glitters and the glowing embers of the last sanctuary!"  This red-orange is truly one of my favorite colors to wear.  It just seems so alive!  Especially with those glowy glitters!  I used 2 layers of Fire Spring and found the formula to be a tad on the thick side but not difficult to work with.  Aside from being thick, the formula and application were good.  I used 1 layer of topcoat. 

Rainbow Honey Apple Kid & I Miss You

Hullo polish friends!  I'm back with more gorgeous Rainbow Honey The Summer of 199X colors!  This set consists of 10 polish colors inspired by the 1995 SNES game Earthbound.  Dee explains that each polish reminds her of the different game levels.  Part 1 of the collection "is made up of 5 new glitter bombs bursting with shimmer and color."  Part 2 is "3 new shimmer-dusted cremes and 2 new glitter toppers that give each creme a bold or sweet look."  There are A LOT of gorgeous polishes in this collection.  I recently reviewed Mint Flavor and I Miss You, you can see that post HERE!  Head over to the Rainbow Honey Facebook page or Instagram (rainbowhoney) to see pictures and swatches of the other colors!  The Summer of 199X will be available on Friday June 21 atwww.rainbowhoney.com.  

This is Apple Kid.  It's my favorite of the 3 polishes I was sent to review.  Apple Kid is a beautiful "bright and rosy fuchsia creme" color with amazing pink-purple flakes!  It's stunning.  Application on Apple Kid was flawless, smooth and easy flowing.  2 coats for full coverage.  I also have an accent nail of Mint Flavor with Apple Kid zig zags drawn on.  1 layer of topcoat for extra shine.  

Here is Apple Kid topped with I Miss You.  I Miss You is a delicate glitter topper full of iridescent and pastel glitters in butterfly, heart, square and hex shapes.  Tons of glitter comes out with each brush dip and it spread nicely on the nail.  All the glitter lay flat and smoothed out with a layer of topcoat.

Rainbow Honey Mint Flavor & I Miss You

Hello polish friends!  I have a couple polishes to share with you from the brand new Rainbow Honey The Summer of 199X collection.  This set consists of 10 polish colors inspired by the 1995 SNES game Earthbound.  Dee explains that each polish reminds her of a point in the game where a specific boss was meant to be beaten or uh oh!  Game over!  Part 1 of the collection "is made up of 5 new glitter bombs bursting with shimmer and color."  Part 2 is "3 new shimmer-dusted cremes and 2 new glitter toppers that give each creme a bold or sweet look."  There are A LOT of gorgeous polishes in this collection.  Head over to the Rainbow Honey Facebook page or Instagram (rainbowhoney) to see pictures and swatches of the other colors!  The Summer of 199X will be available on Friday June 21 at www.rainbowhoney.com.  
This is Mint Flavor.  It's a beautiful aqua blue with silvery shimmer.  It is bright and vibrant and a perfect color to compliment many summer outfits!  The formula on Mint Flavor was really nice.  Thick, creamy and easy to apply.  I used 2 coats for full coverage.  1 layer of topcoat.  I also drew some zigzag lines with Apple Kid on my accent nail.  Apple Kid will be in my next review so keep watch for it!

This is Mint Flavor with I Miss You, a glitter topper layered over it.  I Miss you is a gorgeous glitter polish!  It's pastel and iridescent, full of hearts, butterflies, squares and hexs.  You know I love my iridescent glitters, so you also know I fell hard for I Miss You.  I used 1 coat and was very happy with the amount of glitter that came out of the bottle.  The glitter spread well on my nails and laid flat.  I only needed 1 layer of topcoat for smooth nails.
