Rainbow Honey - A Little Kindness



Hello Everyone!! TGIF!!  Last night I was so tired, I ended up falling asleep at 7pm! LoL!!  We had some HOT temps though, which I was only outside for a bit compared to my poor Mr. CC!!  He had to work outside all day!  Eek!  Then all of a sudden, a storm rolled in bringing along hail!  Luckily they weren't too big of pieces falling, but it went on for 10-15 minutes!  Crazy weather!

Today is a gorgeous color by Rainbow Honey, called A Little Kindness.  I am convinced that this color will look great over anything!  It contains rose and gold medium hexagons, smaller gold and white hexagons, and even smaller light green and white hexagons.  The base is a cream color with a pink shift shimmer.  It just feels so elegant to me! 

So I wanted to show you the few colors I tried it with!!  The first few pictures are over OPI Don't Touch My Tutu, which I bought for $8.50 at my local Ulta Beauty.  I did 2 coats, then 1 coat of ALK, then another coat of DTMT, then another coat of ALK, with Cult Nails Wicked Fast Top Coat.  I did all that because I didn't want the glitter to be too much, but also wanted an accurate color of it!

 
 

The awesome news is that Rainbow Honey will be opening her website for the first time tomorrow (early Saturday) - http://rainbowhoney.com/!! She has a countdown going (which makes it SO convenient instead of trying to figure out time zones - genius! lol).  I absolutely love her creations, but she goes beyond that to fantastic labels and packaging for her products!  This came in the cutest little box, that just made it even better (sorry, I forgot pics but will include with my next Rainbow Honey review!!).  Dee, the owner, just posted pictures of the new boxes on her Facebook - HERE.  She also updates her Facebook page a lot, so make sure to follow her there!

 
Next, I tried A Little Kindness over Sinful Black on Black (1 coat).  I love how this brings the pink shimmer out!
 
 
 


I then pulled a random color to see how it would look, thinking it might be too different, but this ended up being my favorite look!  I used 2 coats of Zoya Phoebe (which is a gorgeous matte) as my base with 1 coat of ALK.

You can find Phoebe here - https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/0125C26B - This is a Share the Love link, which is a way for me to earn points through them! So cool for me, but you guys can get something too! See what Zoya wrote: Remember EVERYONE WINS with "Share the Love": When someone clicks on your personal link and sets up an online account, a $5 coupon a coupon for a FREE Bottle of Zoya Nail Polish will automatically be placed in their account and can be used immediately on their current order. TIP: If you use this coupon and add 2 more polishes to your order, you get free shipping too! The coupon will appear in the "My Coupons/ Promos" section of their "My Account" Page.
Pretty great deal! And actually I got a bottle of their Qtica Growth Stimulator https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/0125C2D0 (another link!) for the price of shipping (a $20 value!) through all their gifts of Share the Love points - didn't even do anything! 
 
 
 

And a friend of mine said that this was awesome over pink, so I had to try it and - WOW!  I used Cult Nails Bad Devious Nature with 2 coats and then 1 coat of ALK.  You can purchase Cult Nails on the website http://shop.cultnails.com/.  This is probably one of my favorite pinks, because the application is always flawless and the color is perfect!

 
 

I was taking pictures outside and loved the reflection on Mr. CC's truck window!! lol!
 
Well I hope you love this color as much as I do!  I have seen swatches of it over a ton of different colors and it looks fantastic with every one!  Don't forget to check out the shop opening on her website - http://www.rainbowhoney.com! 

Have a wonderful weekend!!!!  Anyone doing anything exciting?

Much Love,
Crystal

Girly Bits - Hippity Hop

 

Hiya!!! Ok, so I know this is kind of an Easter polish, but is wayyyy too gorgeous not to use year round!  Hippity Hop is by Girly Bits and she has some awesome creations!!  I love this glitter with a microshimmer!  There are so many colors together and they just glow!

I used Zoya Zuza as my base with 2 coats.  I forgot to take pictures, but you can see a previous post of Zuza using 1 coat HERE.  I then applied 1 coat of Hippity Hop and 1 coat of Seche Vite.  Hippity Hop applied pretty well, picking up glitter pieces on the brush. 

You can purchase Girly Bits on Pam's website, http://girlybits.bigcartel.com/.  You can also find them from http://www.shop.llarowe.com/ and http://www.harlowandco.org/.  Prices range from $10 - $13 per bottle, depending on the types (the shift polishes are more expensive due to pigment prices).

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I love the frost of Zuza with this gorgeous Girly Bits!  I think the two are great together for summer!! It feels beachy, yet glitzy!! ;-)

I hope you all have a great day!!

Much Love,
Crystal

A Dollish Polish Custom!

 

Hello Everyone!! Today I have a super duper special polish to show you!!! It is a custom order that I made through Dolly of Dollish Polish!  I absolutely love her creations and this may just be my new favorite!  I'm so glad she could make this!  Hussy is a nickname and potion for the concoction created! Is it wrong to want to wear this forever?  I mean, that would leave about 600 polishes sitting, which wouldn't be fair haha. But I just love this!!

I used two coats with a top coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.  It applied like a dream, as all Dollish Polishes do for me!  I can't say enough good things about this - I LOVE IT!  The pictures hopefully speak for themselves!

 


Dolly will be opening her shop on Friday, June 29 (which is my Mommy's birthday!!!) and you can find that http://dollishpolish.bigcartel.com/.  She will be selling the following shades:
  • URBAN CAMO
  • AURORA BOREALIS
  • PUTTING ON THE RITZ
  • RANDOM DANCING
  • SPANK YOU VERY MUCH
Another great way to say up to date on Dollish Polish is to follow her Facebook! You can find it HERE. 
 
 
 
I hope you enjoyed this look at my custom and can appreciate the talented Dolly of Dollish Polish!  I have many of her polishes and they are all fantastic!  You cannot go wrong with adding some to your collection!!

I hope you all have a great day!  I'm going out for martini's tonight with my cousin!  It will be so great to catch up!  And martini's always make the week a little better ;-)

Much Love,
Crystal
