Sorry la, people had to cope with new job ma. :B
My indie polish supplier Mei Mei's Signatures had a clearance sale some time back.
A purchase of above $200 entitles you to a 50% discount + 1 surprise bottle - LIKE OMG WHY NOT.
So in the end, $102 got me 14 bottles of polish, which is $7 per bottle?!
FYI usually 1 bottle costs at least $18-$25
Rainbow Honey - Mint Flavor
Turquoise leaning mint with silver shimmer
2 coats for opacity.
Rainbow Honey - Tessie
Periwinkle purple with blue shimmer
2 coats to opacity.
I think I have a million colors like this and I'm still in love with periwinkle.
Rainbow Honey - Tiny Ruby
A slightly pinkish leaning red jelly, packed with holo shimmer and glitter.
The formula was good, so 2 coats to opacity.. though under the strong sun slight VNL could be seen.
See the holo shimmer! This red is slightly truer to color
Rainbow Honey - Hanami
A glitter topper, with white and gold micro glitter, and rose pink microglitter and hexes.
Applied over Pretty & Polished - Pretty 2.0
This was inspired by the Japanese custom of flower viewing during the sakura season.
I thought RH did this polish very well, as the polish brought out the delicacy of the blossoms.
Powder Perfect - Iteru, The River
Royal blue microglitter holographic bomb!
2 coats to opacity
Another color I'm a sucker for.
Powder Perfect does damnnn awesome microglitters.
This was so sparkly without any top coat !
Had to use two coats of top coat to smoothen it out.. cause shiny glitters are thirsty.
XOXO Nails - Coffee Date
A glitter topper - nude jelly base with bronze hexes.
I painted 1 coat over Dorian Gray..
One day I'm gonna try make mint choco chip nails. :D
Love, Angeline - Magical Romance 2.0
Soft purple, with silver shimmer.
2 coats to opacity, with slight VNL .
The formula was good, color built up easily and was not very streaky.
Pretty & Polished - Pretty 2.0
3 coats to opacity.
First coat was quite sheer and I honestly got a shock. hahaha.
Formula was good, built up easily despite its initial sheerness.
Cool pewter grey
1 coat to opacity.
Smooth formula from A england, as usual.
No worries about streakiness!
A england - Her Rose Adagio
Metallic pink holographic polish
At some angles you can see a rose pink duochrome shift.
1 coat to opacity.
A england - still the best holographics.
Emily de Molly - Dead and Dreaming
Dark plum-red holographic polish.
The color and name made me think of dead wilting roses. :D
2 coats to opacity.
Delush Polish - Swans upon a time
White creme base with pink shimmer.
2 coats to opacity.. which is a headache.
The formula was quite thick, and it applied streaky.
A lot of patience is needed to get it smooth.
Jindie Nails - Mango with the Flow
A pastel orange crelly with silver hexes.
Er I'm not sure if I received a faulty bottle or what.. but it was horrible.
Polish was gloopy and there was too much glitter with each coat, no matter how much I tried to wipe it off.
Maybe I need to thin it more.. like a lot more.
I should like to mention I also ordered Rainbow Honey's Spirit of Wonder, one of their limited edition Christmas polishes.
It was supposed to be a pure white base, but the bottle I got was yellowish.
I emailed Mei Mei, who kindly offered to give me a swap, but her other stocks were faulty too.
She then offered me a refund - which I declined cause its too much of a hassle, and its not really her fault.
I had emailed Rainbow Honey too, and their response was kind of disappointing.
Their representative informed me that it is a common issue for some of their polishes, especially those over two years.
Eh but most of my other indie polishes dont have the same issue leh.. and it felt as if they were just brushing it off.
But its okay. I'm in the process of frankening the polish to get out the yellow tint.
