Painted Polish District 1

I'm back with a second post today!  A brand I haven't tried before but was very impressed with when I perused the booth at the Love, Preview event in Southern California.  Painted Polish is the creation of a nice gal named Lexi.  Lexi recently came out with the Hunger Games: Catching Fire Collection.  It's a fun collection named for the different districts in the books/movies and is packed full of pretty polish in an assortment of finishes from holo to jelly to glitter.  Of course I had to get the holo...the nude holo to be exact.  And I'm very glad I did because it's pretty fabulous!  You can purchase Painted Polish from HERE and the bottles range from $8 to $10.  You can also follow Painted Polish on Facebook and Instagram (paintedpolishbylexi).

As I'd mentioned before this polish is from the Hunger Games: Catching Fire collection.  It's named for it's inspiration which is District 1.  Lexi wanted to show off how District 1 is "luxurious and known among the districts of Panem for it's wealth."  District 1 is a "nude linear holographic with a sprinkling of iridescent hex glitter."  It definitely has a rich look to it and I love the combination of the soft linear holo and the iridescent glitters.  It's pretty and unique in my nude holo collection.  The hex glitters are almost invisible in the sunlight, but they come out to play in shaded light.  This color is classy and suitable for work or any other occasion where you might want subtle nails.  I used 3-4 layers of District 1 for full coverage.  The formula was a touch thick but not uneasy to work with.  I finished it with 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.
