Rainbow Honey The Yokai Collection

Rainbow Honey has a trio out for this year's Halloween and I was graciously sent the three to review so... here they are!

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

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 this?

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.

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.

The Yokai is limited edition for Halloween 2012. Rainbow Honey is available here.

Some Saturday Spam

Happy weekend! I hope you get to enjoy it more than I! .... unless anyone wants to write my paper for me? :)

HARE Archipelago. Tricky to apply but IMO, worth it.

Essence A Lovely Secret. The shimmer... it is amazing.

Rainbow Honey A Little Kindness over Sportsgirl Nude.

Jordana Mint Candy. = Milani Dressmaker = Chanel Jade.

Candeo Joker sandwiched between sheer white.

HARE Supernova Springs over Sally Hansen Purple Pizzazz.

Nails Inc. Baker Street. If you're Aussie, it's very similar to Ulta3 Blue Marlin.

KBShimmer Ring Master over Pretty Serious Nightmaren.

Zoya Crystal.

BYS Glamazon. This thing... holy moly. Possibly the zingiest green I own.

Ozotic 505 over black.

Candeo Mallard over L'oréal High Tide.


Here are some links for purchasing. I get lots of questions asking where to buy things so hopefully these will help. List of links:

Lynnderella Inner Space

Not much to say about this except holy crap I love it. In fact, a huge bottle macro is my current desktop wallpaper!

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.

Lynnderella Golden Rules

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 :)

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.

Lynnderella Salad Days

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.

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 see the greens, the cherry tomatoes, the carrot sticks.... crazy!

Lynnderella is available here.

Lynnderella 50 Shades of May-Be

Ahh... 50 Shades. I have not and probably will not read it. Although I am a big devourer of, how would you say, Harlequin romance? The bad kind... Harlequin Presents. LOL. But yes.... it is true. Any other sad souls out there too??

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.
