Rainbow Honey FAB Summer Set Swatches

Some more Rainbow Honey swatches for you! I got sent these polishes for review (mini sizes) and immediately after swatching them I went and bought the full sizes. I love them that much!

These polishes are a little unusual as they are not available on Rainbow Honey's website. They are exclusively available on FAB (affiliate link for those who do not have an account with FAB) and only as a set and for a limited time. For a discounted price of $25 (normal price $30) you get three full size bottles including:

tenda is a bright kelly green lacquer with golden shimmer

costa del sol is a shimmery lacquer full of iridescent and holographic glitters ready to add some sun and sparkle to your manicure

schrammi is a deep coral lacquer with golden shimmer

You can purchase the set on FAB here.

For the swatches I used two coats for each of the base colors (Schrammi and Tenda) and one coat of Costa del Sol on my ring finger.  The polishes applied great. The two creams with gold flecks were a teensy bit thick but not streaky and overall had a good formula. The glitter only needed one coat to get a nice amount of glitter on the nail and wasn't as thick as glitters in clear bases sometimes are.

So what do you think? Any polish with gold shimmer instantly makes me swoon.

Rainbow Honey The Robot Collection Swatches and Review

Another late post! But luckily these are still available. I was sent these polishes from Rainbow Honey's The Robot Collection to review awhile ago and I'm just now getting to them. But no matter, just like anything Rainbow Honey does the concept is amazing and the product and attention to detail never fail to blow me away. To be honest, before trying the polishes I was unimpressed by the concept of black and white glitter over different colored chromes. But I can admit that I was wrong as the polishes look really great together. I am completely converted. So much so that I went and bought a full size bottle of the glitter, Yoshimi, because I was afraid of running out.


Rainbow Honey has the best packaging and design out of pretty much any company I've ever ordered from. Everything is consistent and well-thought out to the tiniest details.


This collection is special because along with the regular .5 fl oz (15 mL) bottles for $10 you can also get all 6 polishes as a set of 4 mL bottles for $25 (the set of full size bottles is $50).


The mini bottles DO NOT have mini brushes, thankfully. The brushes are full sized and easy to use.

The metallic chrome polishes might not be entirely unique, but they are very well done. You probably could get away with one thick coat, but I thought they looked better with two thin coats. The amount of metallic pigment (aluminum flakes) makes the texture a tad thick but I didn't find them too difficult to work with.

This is one coat of Yoshimi dabbed over the base colors. It applies really well for this type of glitter as long you don't try to brush it on like a regular polish. Dabbing is the key here!
