The owner Carrie was so nice and sent me a whole bunch to share with you. Today, I have a newer collection from her called The Islands.<br />

<br />
The first photo for each polish is taken in the shade. That way, you can see what the shimmer looks like out of direct sun. They're all visible and not at all of the hidden variety.<br />

<br />
Aruba. Three coats. Teal blue with green shimmer. The colour is closest to the second photo. The shimmer in this one is the most subtle out of the three, but I think that's mostly because its complementary to the base instead of being contrasting.<br />
<br />

<br />
Anna Maria. Three coats. Dark blue-teal with gold shimmer. This one was darker and more blue than I expected it to be from the bottle. I love the way it looks though. That gold shimmer is so perfect. I want it in a whole collection!<br />
<br />

<br />
Santorini. Three coats. Royal blue with flaky shimmer. The shimmer bits are slightly larger than the other two which are much finer. This one is my favourite of the trio. The blue is so, so perfect. I have this on as a pedi right now... the sandals are finally starting to come out for the season ahead!<br />
<br />
The formulas on these were all impeccable Really smooth and free flowing. Almost opaque at two coats but all needed three to be completely even. Full size Contrary Polish is available at <a href="http://shop.llarowe.com/">Llarowe</a> and minis directly from <a href="http://contrarypolish.blogspot.com.au/">Contrary Polish</a>.Stefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01485479015519184641noreply@blogger.com58tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020049865899695547.post-81822249359892594992012-10-23T00:52:00.000+11:002012-10-23T00:52:43.884+11:00Pastel rainbow gradientIn case you didn't know, it's Spring here in the southern hemisphere... and today, I'm feeling the season!<br />

<br />
This isn't much of a gradient really since the colours don't "blend" into each other. I chose to sponge on the rainbow because I didn't want to mess around with tape and getting straight lines (read: I'm lazy).<br />
<br />
What I used:<br />

<br />
L to R: OPI What's With the Cattitude, American Apparel L'Esprit, China Glaze Something Sweet, TBN Anna Loves It!, China Glaze Lemon Fizz and China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint. (They look so pretty lined up together!)<br />
<br />
All sponged over a coat of Revlon Powder Puff with stars from plate M17.<br />
<br />
I'm loving the way it turned out but I kind of wish I'd done the rainbow on the diagonal - I think it would've looked better that way. Still happy though! It's so cheerful :)Stefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01485479015519184641noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020049865899695547.post-83336585172921882742012-10-21T10:16:00.000+11:002012-10-22T00:23:58.219+11:00Rainbow Honey The Yokai CollectionRainbow Honey has a trio out for this year's Halloween and I was graciously sent the three to review so... here they are!<br />

<br />
The inspiration for the collection is drawn upon Japanese mythological creatures. Not something I am familiar with but it does sound very cool.<br />
<br />

<br />
Kitsune. Three coats. Camel with heavy gold shimmer and orange, gold and copper glitter. I've seen this one pull quite yellow on others. It almost looks like a nude on me. Not something I'd usually go for but it worked surprisingly well with my skin. On an additional note, a kitsune is a nine-tailed fox... anyone else jump straight to <a href="http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ninetales_(Pok%C3%A9mon)">this</a>?<br />

<br />
Kawako. Three coats. Deep denim blue with bright blue shimmer and silver flaky-microglitter. There were also large opalescent flakes which I actually did not warm to. I couldn't really spot them on the nail and they made application a little clumpy.<br />
<br />

<br />
Oni. Three coats. A black base filled with gold flaky-microglitter and red/purple shimmer. Reminiscent of OPI Holiday Glow. I loved that one and I love this one - it's totally up my alley and my favourite of the three. I especially love how heavy those mini gold flakes are.<br />

I saw <a href="http://miniblog.create-magical-nails.com/2011/10/halloween-nail-art-no9.html">this post</a> last year and told myself I *needed* to do it for the coming season.

I used China Glaze Light as Air and Ruby Kisses Bold and the Beautiful for the gradient and freehanded the stars with yellow acrylic paint. I konaded some accents including the cat as well as a pumpkin and a bat (not shown) using plate HB28.<br />

One coat of Inner Space over Bloom Hollywood. I like to think of Inner Space as an amalgamation of Connect the Dots and The Glittering Crowd. It's got a base of the black and white CtD style glitters while all the space in between (inner space?) is filled with colour.<br />

I started with a base of China Glaze Passion, konaded the print with plate BM221 and then filled in most of the spots with Essence BBC Golden Sands which I mixed with a varying amounts of Passion to create different shades.<br />

Holographic gold glitter goodness! My favourite shapes in this are the lovely golden hearts. I don't think they are as plentiful as the others but I did manage to get two on my right hand :)<br />

One coat of Golden Rules over DR 06. Kind of night sky-ish over such a blue! The blue itself was really strange though... can you see how the colour bled onto some of the glitters making them look 'buried within' and kind of fuzzy around the edges? Strange phenomenon but I think the effect was pretty cool.<br />

It took me a while to narrow down which base colour to use under Salad Days. I can see it working with so many greens (amongst other things). I went with my most favourite Australis ever which of course they discontinued.<br />

One coat of Salad Days over Australis Here Today Gone Tomorrow. Maybe it is just the power of suggestion, but the resemblance of Salad Days to a lovely bowl (or bottle) of real salad is quite uncanny. I mean, I can <i>see</i> the greens, the cherry tomatoes, the carrot sticks.... crazy!<br />

One coat of 50 Shades of May-Be over OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui. Consists of black, white and greys like the name suggests. And if you look closely, you will also see a translucent, large-particle flaky shimmer that runs through it. The glitter is super shiny and I had a hard time taking pictures because I couldn't stop the reflections. Amazing.<br />

Pentimento is one of my very favourites from the Summer Solstice collection. It has a pink hue in the bottle which does not really translate on the nail.<br />

One coat of Pentimento over Elianto S10. Pentimento is a multi-glitter with a heavy dose of white... or maybe it's the other way around. Not too sure. In any case, it is so fun. There is also a hint of shimmer in the base too which ties in with all the microglitter. Super lovely!<br />

One coat of A Neutral Party over two of TBN Blue Fluoro (which is a laughable name, by the way). A Neutral Party is a gold shimmer base full of earthy glitters in tan, brown, gunmetal, black and white. I loved wearing this. Blues and browns together are one of my vices. Love.<br />

For this mani, I used the Essence Gel-look topcoat (recommended and gifted to me by my bud <a href="http://thepolishhaven.blogspot.com.au/">Kristy</a>) under Poshe to smooth things out and it seems to be a better alternative to Gelous. Everything is glassy smooth.<br />

<br />
For those interested in a breakdown, it's one coat each of Essence Wear Your Little Tutu and Etude House Glam Pearl as a base. Then SH Celeb City on the tips for opacity and finally the gradient, created with Etude Sparkling Silver and The Face Shop SL211. Easy!<br />

This is such a cute polish. The name is really appropriate since the exact thing it reminds me of are the pink and purple lollies from a bag of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolly_mixture">dolly mix</a>. Yummy!<br />

Three coats. A mix of pinks and purples in a white base. The opacity of this is spot on--a good balance between opaque and sheer to allow the glitters to peek through.<br />

One coat of I Don't Mean Rhinestones (but diamonds!) over one of DR 115. Super saturated regular and holographic teal hexes and diamonds. The holo glitters give off a lovely glowing property also makes it look more blue in sunlight. IDMR is loaded with glitter and would probably be opaque by itself in 2-3 coats.<br />

Usually I shy away from any form of freehand nail art or I relegate it to an accent nail only. That way I don't have to worry about doing my dominant hand. However, this looked simple enough that I could do it on all my nails so I went ahead. They're kind of messy but at least they look good from a distance!<br />

Deep Blue Seeing was one of the Lynnderella's I could not stop staring at when I first got it. The level of depth is seriously amazing and the name is so very perfect.<br />

<br />
One coat of Deep Blue Seeing over three coats of Color Club Chelsea Girl. The whole thing is a couple shades more green than these pictures show. Also, my camera wants to make all the glitter look the same - they're not! Lots and lots of different blues in there. The different textures of glitter give an really interesting yet subtle effect which is best seen in person.<br />

Just a disclaimer - absolutely none of the following pictures do this polish justice. It's so amazing that my camera couldn't handle it.<br />

<br />
The Garden of Even. Two coats over Verity Brilliant Violet. The magenta glitters are holographic and they flash the most amazing colours; shifting between a fiery orange and a vivid blue-purple. I cannot express how utterly gorgeous it is in real life.<br />
<br />

The ever lovely Kaz sent me the six polishes from her new <a href="http://www.pretty-serious.com/collections/in-the-night">In The Night collection</a> which I have for you today. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the video game it's based on.... but now I'm holding out for a collection based on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3gt4eY6Qc8">Bust-a-Groove</a>. Kaz?! :D Just kidding.<br />

<br />
Into Dreams. Two coats. Deep purple shimmer with pink flecks. Leans more fuchsia than most of my purple shimmers. And like most purples, it is more red-leaning than my pictures show.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Nightopia. Three coats. It was fine at two but I think the third coat gave it more depth. Blue-teal with gold shimmer. Slightly heavier in shimmer when compared to Bloom Bianca/San Fransisco but it's got that same gorgeous green tinge at the edges that I love so much.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Claris. Three coats. Cool pink jelly with gold glass-fleck shimmer. So nice. The pink reminds me of an artificially flavoured and coloured strawberry milkshake! And the gold shimmer warms it enough for me that my hands don't look grey.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Dream Delight. Two coats. Dense silver glitter in a smoky blue tinted base. The tinted base makes it take on an overall gunmetal shade as well as giving the look of depth in between all the tiny glitters.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Nightmaren. Two coats. Bright red with gold shimmer. This is not as pigmented as a lot of red shimmers which actually works to its advantage. The shimmer doesn't get lost in all the red and actually reads gold. Awesome!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Elliot. Two coats. Bright medium blue with white-silver flaky shimmer. The blue is really saturated and there is no VNL in real life, contrary to what my pictures show.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Pretty Serious In The Night collection is available now at <a href="http://www.pretty-serious.com/">www.pretty-serious.com</a>. There are also a couple of lip glosses and a loose eyeshadow in the collection as well to match with Into Dreams and Claris.<br />

When the Moon was a Star. One coat over China Glaze Blue Year's Eve. Shades of blue with gold accents as well as stars and moons. The holographic microglitter made it look extra twinkly. Seriously, move over SSN. <i>This</i> is the real starry night.<br />

Do you see that little baby star hiding in the corner there?! SO cute! I didn't even know those guys were in there. It was such an awesome surprise when applying.<br />

Lynnderella Kabbalah Bracelet. Over China Glaze Branding Iron. This is one <i>thin</i> coat. And when I say thin, I mean there was almost nothing on the brush--Kabbalah Bracelet is very dense. Short red strings, multi-coloured holo hexes and microglitter. Really fabulous. I love it.<br />

I spent a long time pondering what I wanted to wear under Common Sense (oh I do love word play). Pink, copper, peach... so many possibilities. In the end I settled on a soft pink.<br />

One thin coat of Common Sense over Ozotic 601 which is a pale pink scattered holo. Common Sense is a clear base filled with copper and pinks. Crazy pretty and quite flashy for such a colour. It's absolutely packed with glitter and I think I may try wearing it on its own next time.<br />

Over the Ozotic, it takes on a rose gold hue when seen from a distance. Kind of makes me want to wear matching jewellery with it! Anyone want to send that rose gold Michael Kors watch my way? lolStefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01485479015519184641noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020049865899695547.post-47639862696094915792012-08-25T16:06:00.000+10:002012-08-30T11:00:46.320+10:00Rainbow Honey The Worst Possible Thing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

One coat over China Glaze Grape Pop. The Worst Possible Thing is my favourite of the collection. It's very busy, but in a subtly sparkly way.<br />
<br />
Then I saw <a href="http://dizzynails.com/">Lauren</a> layer this over black and it looked so amazing I had to copy her.<br />

One coat. You can really see the iridescent shards when it's over black. The whole look is kind of galaxy-like, no?

Attitude Adjust-Mint. One coat over Jordana Mint Candy (dupe for Chanel Jade...remember that frenzy?). Last time I wore this, my base was too stark of a mint. I like this much better. Soft and pretty.<br />

Funny Money. One and a half coats over Essie Going Incognito. I wanted a bit more of the multi-glitter in this mani so I dabbed on a few glitters from The Glittering Crowd before going over it again with Funny Money to harmonise everything.<br />

I Can Afford It! One coat over Bloom Bahamas. My current NOTD. The sprinkling of orange and purple is so cute. And another PSA for Aussies... make sure you go pick up any B by Blooms you've been eyeing since they're being discontinued from Target. So sad.... I prefer them over the regular Blooms. Good news is that they're only $7 now. Bahamas is an awesome fluoro green. Not as neon as others but it has a perfect, smooth two coat formula.Stefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01485479015519184641noreply@blogger.com30
