Rainbow Honey Midnight Fountain Swatch and Review (Bonus: Iron Throne Bottle Shots)

Last post of the week and I've got something awesome/hilarious to share. I am a bit nervous because this weekend will be the first engagement shoot of 2014 - I don't know why I get nervous before my shoots. I've done dozens of weddings and engagements but the first one in a long time always gives me jitters! Blahhhh anyway I have something fun today, haha, here it goes:

This is Rainbow Honey's Midnight Fountain from the new spring collection Midnight Garden... on an Iron Throne. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Iron Throne, it's an icon from Game of Thrones. As some of you know, one of my hobbies is strange toy collecting and this one weaseled its way in my collection. I think I'll be using this throne for some of my bottle shots, obviously not all the time but time to time, I think it can be a lot of fun!!!

Swatch wise, Midnight Fountain kills it! I posted a sneak peak on my Instagram last night and it matches my Pravana blue hair perfectly. It's a glitterbomb to rule them all - a beautiful mermaid blue jelly packed with holographic glitters, iridescent squares, and a healthy serving of shimmer. The Kraken's mermaid sister; this one applies gracefully - two coats, no fuss. I topped my swatch with a coat of Seche Vite:

Overall, Midnight Fountain is amazing. I didn't want to take it off! I know this is a bit bold to say, but I think Midnight Fountain is probably my favourite polish in the Midnight Garden collection. There's a lot of great polishes in that collection, but Midnight Fountain is definitely one of the highlights or flagships of the group.

And just because you're morbidly curious like I was - I had no staining problems, which is great for a blue. I wore it over a couple of days and removed it using home made polish remover pads and the Julep "Party's Over" nail caps.

How do you get over being nervous over something that you shouldn't be nervous over? Do you like my Iron Throne bottle shots or is this just... too silly? What do you think of Midnight Fountain?

  1. It's like the Iron Throne was made for nail polish bottles, I love it! Also looking forward to Sunday night!!!
    That is a gorgeous glitter bomb! RH never disappoints.
    I know what you mean about getting nervous before you do something you've done many times before. That's how I get when I give blood, even though I've done it 25 times already!

    1. I have been so busy that I haven't watched it yet! Hopefully tonight or later this week! And yes, I am TOTALLY going to do an "Iron Throne" treatment with the polishes that I really like. Unfortunately it doesn't fit the "fat bottomed" bottle of Revlon but it at least can hold RH, OPI, Lippmann and Ozotic!

    1. Aw you are such a sweetheart. I am thinking about dying my hair purple or maybe navy because I can see my hair going turquoise and I don't want it going green while I am away, haha!
