Rainbow Honey Galaxy Nails Set Nail Art

Whew, it's been a while. I had meant to only take a week off but I got caught up in launching another project. Maybe one day I can announce it here, but in the meantime it's still not even ready and it bums me out that teams are so hard to work in and also Breaking Bad bummed me out yesterday so it's really about time I start posting in here again because this was always my escape to talk about anything and to focus on something else. I hadn't even painted my nails since the last week of August, so the smells and the act of painting was all familiar and nice again. Anyway - what better way to come back than with some MORE Rainbow Honey?

Actually, I'll be doing Rainbow Honey polishes all week and you'll see why. But today I have pictures as well as the result of Rainbow Honey's Galaxy Nails set. The set came nicely packaged and came with 5 polishes: Violet, Blue, Black, White and Space Dust, as well as two sponge applicators and instructions. Check it out.

I followed the instructions and kind of just winged it. I am not used to the softer, denser "make up" sponge - I usually use cut up kitchen sponge when doing my gradients. I actually kind of liked it. It gave a much more soft effect. Rainbow Honey also had their own "Violet" and "Blue" polishes which were packed with shimmer, and had a very sheer build up. It was very much made and formulated for galaxy nail art. I used a coat of Seche Vite for an extra glossy look.

I think it sucks there's only two makeup sponges but considering I've used the same chewed up piece of kitchen sponge for gradients over the last few months, I think I could stretch out the use of one for a bit. I can definitely use the other corners!

And lastly, here's my Rainbow Honey Galaxy Nails to go along with my galaxy skirt! Rainbow Honey is holding an Instagram/Twitter contest where you match your nails with your outfits and accessories. Here's one of my entries! They are accepting multiple entries so I'll be doing this all week!

What do you think of the Rainbow Honey Galaxy Nails set? Do you have a preference on what type of sponge you use for your nail art? What kind of matching polish do you tend to do with your outfits?

    1. Ha! I wish my nails looked like the nails on the packaging! My nails are quite a bit shorter! I have to keep them that way because I injure myself far too often and typing is a little weird on lengthy nails. Hard to maintain that 120 WPM!

  2. 1. Exceptionally beautiful and brilliantly creative use of color mixing and concept!
    2. Sadly, Cthulhu's nails were very long and sharply pointed (the better to impail you with, my dear)...BUT I wouldn't let that stop me from reproducing either the nail art OR bandying the name about. :3 <3

    1. Oh thank you so much! Rainbow Honey did a great job with formulating the Blue and Violet to sponge just right. Lots of shimmer!

  3. WELCOME BACK, YAAYY!!! :D
    I think this set is a great idea! And I looove how your nails turned out! I seriously need to try this soon!
    Also very jealous of your skirt! ;)

    I've only used a sponge once when I did a gradient in my summer beach nails and it was a makeup sponge like these, from a pack from Dollarama. I find it worked really well so I'll definitely be using them again.

    As far as matching goes, I usually just paint my nails whatever colour I want and try to match my outfits accordingly, hee-hee! Except for special events, then I'll match my nails to my outfit.

    1. Hay girl hayyyyy!!! :D I missed you!

      I just like everything space print LOL, how come I haven't seen your space leggings yet!? I wanna seeeee!!!! (Or maybe I missed it during my hiatus? I thought I caught up on your blog though.)

      I usually never match my nails to my outfit! But now that I am doing this, it seems like a good idea! :3

  4. These nails look gorgeous! The top coat of that type of glitter makes it look particularly awesome!

    I guess you could always cut the used part of the sponge off after it's too nail polishy to use? That's what I do because I'm really cheap about sponges!
