Rainbow Honey Metalmark

Happy Tuesday! I told you I would be back today with what I topped Totes Magotes with, and here it is!

With a recent order from Rainbow Honey, they were offering grab bags. Of course I got one, and when it came I was ecstatic! It contained 3 minis, I got Magic Cake which I love and am happy to have a back up mini of it, and 2 minis from an upcoming, as yet unannounced collection! Both colors I got are beautiful, so I'm really looking forward to finding out the inspiration and seeing the rest! I will have to second of the 2 for you in the next day or 2 as well, but for today I have Metalmark.

Metalmark is a glitter topper in a clear base that has a pink shimmer running through it with various sizes of aqua colored glitters as well as silver holo butterflies. As soon as I put on Totes Magotes I knew I had to top it with Metalmark after a day or so. It went on easily, I used 2 coats plus top coat and had no trouble getting out any of the larger butterflies. With no fishing I was able to get at least 1 on every nail. Here is one pic in the sun and one in the shade.

Stay tuned for the second color from the grab bag! What do you think of Metalmark? Any ideas on its inspiration?

Dollish Polish Totes Magotes

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a good weekend and those that are off today for MLK Jr. day enjoy it as well. Today I have for you Dollish Polish Totes Magotes.

Totes Magotes is a minty holo that was a limited edition color, so I'm sorry if you didn't get your hands on it! Its too pretty not to share though. It went on like a dream, I used 3 coats and top coat. I have a picture in shade and in sun to show the base color and the holo in this beauty.

Rainbow Honey The Bubbly

I got the job! I actually left the interview Saturday already knowing I had the job. I start the 23rd, working in the deli at the local grocery store. Only part time, which is perfect, and I am actually getting a great hourly wage considering. My previous cafeteria experience helped with that so yay! Not quite sure what this means for my nails or nail polish yet, so that might not be so good :(. But what can I do. I will still be doing swatches even if I can't wear my CNS all the time, so you may be seeing a lot more of my natural shorties again soon!

To celebrate getting the job, on Sunday I applied 2 coats of Rainbow Honey The Bubbly to the OPI DS Classic I was already wearing. The Bubbly is iridescent glitters and opalescent flakes in a clear base. I topped it with The Bubbly scented top coat as well. The Bubbly went on really well, no issues with that at all. The top coat smells nice, and isn't very strong once dried, so no worries about smelling it unless your hands get close to your face.

OPI DS Classic

Howdy! Its been a while. Hope everyone had a great holiday and new year! I am going to try something this year, I am going to actually try and wear all the polish I already have at least once instead of buying more and more that just sit untried. I am going to limit my purchases to colors that I OMG HAVE TO HAVE instead of buying a bunch each month. Most of my new purchases from this point on are likely to be from indie shops, as they seem to have the most cant live without stuff. I will still do any reviews that are sent to me of course, and try to get swatches of new stuff up as I get it mixed in with my older stuff as I work my way through my stash. So, that brings me to this first polish!

I have a job interview this afternoon, so when I was looking for a color to use last night I needed something interview appropriate. I finally settled on this one, OPI DS Classic. This was a gift from someone in my birthday club, which was a lot of fun but is now over as we did the full year. Not able to participate in on again due to finances, but it was a great time. DS Classic is a nude with holo, though I wasn't able to get much of the holo to show up. Its storming today, so I had to use indoor lighting and flash. I use 3 coats to fully cover and top coat. It went on easily, not quite as sheer on the first coat as I expected. I almost didn't need the 3rd coat, but did it to be safe. I am not much of a nude/neutral person or a brown person, but this polish is really beautiful and doesn't look bad with my light skin tone. Its a good color for work so you can be neutral while still having some fun with the holo in it.
