This is Rainbow Honey Oni from the Yokai collection from last fall. It seems to be sold out for the time being so I am not sure if they are going to be re-releasing it. It was a limited run last October but I got on a re-release earlier this year. Rainbow Honey Oni is a mixed flake and dust polish in a warm coffee base. There are primary bronze and gold flakes but there are subtle - VERY subtle - notes of violet shifts on some of the flakes. I wouldn't look for it though, it's only there if you look close enough. Formula is good - another two coater, and it dries with a nice finish as well. Not high gloss, and not dull or bumpy either. Here's my swatch in two coats:
For funsies, (and sorry this was a long time ago in March), I used the special limited edition monthly polish at the time Rainbow Honey Pot O Gil on the tips. I am not really sure if I like it. I thought it would look OK but instead it just reminds me of a glittery flamboyant disco grass block from Minecraft, haha!:
I do love those circle glitters and how they look like little coins! I'll have to do a separate post on it another time!
Anyway I hope you enjoyed this one! Any guesses on what I should layer Pot O Gil over for next time? Maybe there's a better glitter topper out there for Oni? Personally I love it on its own, though!
Oni is beautiful! And I actually like Pot'O'Gil over it. I have that one too but I have not used it yet. I'm planning to do a glitter gradient over white for next St Patty's Day.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried texting at the dentist's. I usually just stare at the ceiling. They have that floating ceiling with holes (texture), so I look for shapes in it, hehe! :)
Rainbow Honey polishes are always open for so many possibilities! I just can't get to them all, it seems lol. Especially with my growing collection of polish, ahhhhh.... #firstworldpolishproblems
DeleteMy dentist used to have a little TV in the ceiling to watch movies in but it was off at the time. I found that I am really good at being distracted with my phone. I got my thigh tattooed a few weeks ago and it barely hurt because I was just on the phone the entire time.
Ugh dentist...I don't mind getting my teeth cleaned but I have too many bad experiences at the dentist office before and going in there just reminds me of them >_<. Oni is super glamourous. I actually noticed the violets in it before I read it. It reminds me of the night sky. Would be great as a base for a space themed nail art. After you put Pot O Gil over it, I got this feeling of Star Trek: Nemesis / Borg feeling. (Not sure if you have watched Star Trek)
ReplyDeleteNot sure what would go with Oni or Pot O Gil...but I hope you find something and post about it. :3
It's funny because Rainbow Honey actually just released a space limited edition set of polishes and one of them REALLY looked like Oni but with a lot more purple. I'll have to do a comparison when I get my hands on it. And YES I have watched so much Star Trek!!! Haha, thanks for getting me off the Minecraft thoughts - it's all I could ever see.
Deletehttp://fab.com/sale/23768/product/386666 you can still get (very tiny 4ml) mini bottles of pot 'o' gil on fab! i missed out on PoG and soul gem, the latter of which i was LITERALLY DYING FOR (okay, that may be hyperbole), so i picked up a couple of these mini sets. i'm in the US, but fab does ship to canada -- i think there is an additional charge -- and i'm not sure about internationally other than that.
ReplyDeletesoul gem, especially, is a great layering polish from rainbow honey, imo! it looks nice over pastels, neutrals, and brights, and brings a little something different each time. i haven't tried it in a matte mani yet, but i bet i'd look pretty great there, too! i wish i'd gotten a full bottle of it, but the mini sets will do fine in a pinch, i guess. ):
That limited edition mini set is SO worth picking up! I honestly would if I could. Fab does ship to Canada, but they charge $40 to ship to Vancouver, which is the most ridiculous absurd thing I've ever heard. So unfortunately, I always have to find other means to get their Fab exclusives. Really glad that the space set was available on their website after a while.
DeleteAnd I LOVE Soul Gem! Super nice polish and so good for layering, or gradients, or whenever you want a touch of class.
