So Rainbow Honey had a great promotion during the Christmas season and if you spent $75 or more, you would receive the "Large Grab Bag" - what I didn't know is that it would also include a FULL SIZE bottle of a "Sample". Now whether or not it's going to be some sort of upcoming shade, I don't know - but on a clutch, I was trying to figure out what to do for New Years' Eve nails and this is what I ended 2013 and started 2014 with! To glam it up even more, I added one coat of OPI Pure 18K White Gold and Silver Top Coat and I think it just killed it.
This Rainbow Honey Sample is a bit of a royal blue that has hint of purple shimmer. It's very subtle. Formula was a bit thick so it was best to do thin layers. This is my swatch in three coats with Seche Vite top coat:
And lastly, here's that OPI Pure 18K White Gold and Silver Top Coat. Just one coat brought this type of coverage! I'm pretty happy with it:
Anyway.
I just want to say thank you to any of you who have stayed by the blog and followed it. I want to give a special thank you to My Ten Friends Nail Polish for giving me a massive shout out on Facebook, giving me a surprise influx of Likes just in time for my birthday. I hope I won't have to go on hiatus like that again.
I'm also sorry for the shabby cuticle care - haha! There's something I'll have to resolve this year.
Anyway, let me know how your 2014 has been so far. Are you killing it this year? Any big changes? I hope all of you have had an amazing winter, and I can't wait to catch up on the trends and share our swatches this year.
this is gorgeous! I managed to resist an order this time but I was sad to miss out on the grab bag, especially if it's this pretty! it sounds like it's been an intense end of year, but looking forward to your return! welcome back!

The grab bag also came with a large cuticle stick which is something I really wanted, so I am really happy I got one, hehe. I am so behind in the polish trends, it's kind of sad but I want to swatch every one of my polishes if I can - so I hope to be back for at least that long, hehe.
DeleteYAY YOU'RE BACK!!! :D
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had quite an end to 2013. That is now in the past and here's to an awesome 2014, CHEERS! :-)
That is one pretty blue! And I agree that the OPI topper was perfect over it.
So many pretty polishes that I'm missing out on. I know this blue was a sample, but they have so many others that I'd like to have. Since getting pregnant my priorities have changed a bit in the purchasing department. That being said, I still have like 50-ish untrieds in my pile so it's not like I'm running low or anything, and after that there's PLENTY of nail art that I can do! I did win 2 nail polish giveaways this past month, and one was from from RH!!! :D
I actually totally miss being on here because I don't get to talk about my personal life much on my "real" blogs, so this is as close to being myself as I can be! Which is kind of weird, but oh well.
DeleteI'm so excited about your little one! I've been trying to follow along and I love all the alerts on Facebook about all the clothes you are getting too, hehe. I am actually trying not to spend money on anything this year that I don't need - I am looking into going back to school for a while. Midlife crisis kind of shit, what can I say!
Glad you're back! I love your blog, and I can't wait to see some new manicures from you :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your love and support - you guys really keep me going through good and bad times. Hope I can post something awesome stuff you like soon! :D
DeleteI got the small size in my medium grab bag and LOVE the color! I'm curious to see if it pops up anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteMan it seems like people got some seriously good stuff in their grab bags! Rainbow Honey seriously spoils their customers, I love it.
