Hello! Over the next few days I will be sharing the beautiful new
Rainbow Honey Summer of 199X
collection. Today I will be sharing what Dee calls the "shimmer-dusted cremes" - a perfect way to describe these pretties!

left to right, up to down: Apple Kid, Tessie, Mint Flavor |
First up is
Mint Flavor, a minty aqua with light blue sparkly shimmer. This is such a pretty color, the one I was most excited from this collection. I had a little trouble with the formula though -- you can tell in my pictures that there were some bubbles, which is a problem I don't often have. I guess with extra-careful application this might be avoidable (and maybe I just needed to get used to the formula), but it was still kind of disappointing. Super pretty shade though!

On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
3 coats Rainbow Honey Mint Flavor
1 coat KB Shimmer Clearly On Top
Tessie is a dusty periwinkle with sparkly purple-blue shimmer. So pretty, and I did not have any application problems with this one, hurray! Alas, it was raining like crazy the day I wore this one, so no sunny shots (actually, you can see some raindrops on my nails apparently, sorry about that - nothing wrong with the polish though). I really love this shade of purple-y blue!

Lastly,
Apple Kid is a bright fuschia with bright pink sparkly shimmer. This one looks extra-especially sparkly in the sun! This is two coats here, and while I don't think you can tell in the pictures, it was still a little uneven -- three coats might be best (or maybe just more careful application than me). So pretty!

Overall I was pleased with these shades. I am willing to chalk up the bubbles in Mint Flavor to mostly user error, especially since I didn't have that problem with the other two, but it is still kind of a bummer for such a pretty color. I really love the way all these look though, and really wishing these minis weren't so tiny -- not sure I have enough for another mani each! Love them so much though, might have to get the full-sizes -- I am sure I will be wanting to use these again :)
Look forward to some glitter tomorrow!
