Fandom Cosmetics Rei Hino Swatch and Review

I've been struggling to keep this blog afloat but I've got two more posts for this week. Obviously I haven't been able to stick to my Monday to Thursday schedule but I've got them ready. Or rather, I will. Anyway, more on that later. Today I've got a polish from Fandom Cosmetics - we've seen them on this blog before. They do offer a blogger discount, so after I was sent a batch for review, I went ahead and ordered a couple on my own accord. You'll see why I couldn't resist this one...

This is Fandom Cosmetics Rei Hino, a polish inspired by Sailor Mars. As described on their shop website, "It is a sheer purple base filled with eden pink circles, purple stars, red hex, and white hearts." Sounds about right, and totally on par for the course! The formula was good and of course there was some glitter placement, but that's to be expected with shaped glitter like this. Here's one coat of Fandom Cosmetics Rei Hino over OPI Vant To Bite My Neck?:

In my opinion - one of the stronger polishes in Fandom Cosmetics' Sailor Moon inspired collection. It doesn't feature any glitters that are particularly thicker than others and I am also biased because Sailor Mars was my favourite scout. I mean - I have a giant tattoo of her!

What do you think of Rei Hino? I thought a deep purple was the only way to fly but what would you layer the polish over?

    I'm not a fan of big glitter generally but this combo is really pretty! I can relate to how difficult it can be manage posting, I always want to schedule in advance but haven't really gotten into that yet. Did you ever try BG cosmetics polish? It looks like Fandom is co-owned by the girl who did that indie polish.

      I just can't schedule. I try but it never works out. Ah well. Instead I am going to take a break. It sucks because I've worked hard on this blog but I have other stuff going on and this blog was meant to be a fun outlet to blow off.

      I never tried BG Cosmetics. I am not that well versed in the land of indie polish to be honest, haha.

    I agree with Zoe, I am usually not too fond of big glitter, but somehow this combination looks really nice :-)

      The other Sailor Moon polish you didn't like - maybe it has to do with the type of glitter? I definitely liked all the glitter used in this one.

    This is beautiful! I'm not a big fan of big glitters either because I don't really have enough retail space on my nails for that, hehe, but I still find them beautiful.

      It's all about hand placing! Also big glitter never lasts long on me. Even with two coats of SV, it always disappears after a day!
