Rainbow Honey: Koi Pond

I love koi ponds and koi don't you? I remember we used to go to this outdoor restaurant when I was little that had a koi pond. The owner of the restaurant always gave me fish food, and while my parents were eating, and I was bored out of my mind I went and fed the koi.  Like most kids I loved all animals, so watching the fish was always fun and peaceful for me. Those were some good memories. I love when I can attach good memories to nail polish, and that's what Rainbow Honey's Koi Pond did for me.

Koi Pond is a dense mixture of varying sized black, orange, blue, green, silver, and aqua glitter in a clear base.

This is a great glitter. I absolutely love the idea behind it. The colors match perfectly to a koi pond. I love when indie polish makers take a concept, deconstruct it, and turn it into not only an amazing polish, but one that totally represents their idea. That is some creativity there. This glitter applies great. This was only one coat. Yes, one coat! That's a strong glitter there, and on top of that it was easy to apply. I definitely recommend this one for the glitter fans out there. I also recommend Rainbow Honey! I've loved all the polishes I've purchased from her.

Happy Wednesday!

Glitter Bombing Layering Birthday Fun!

Today is my 26th birthday. That is kind of scary. I actually don't mind getting older, but how fast time goes by these days is scary. I remember being little and a year felt like the equivalent of what 4 years feels like now. A year now feels like the equivalent of 6 months. Does that make any sense? I haven't even had any birthday drinks yet, and I'm blabbering away!

As I said I don't mind getting older. The older I get the more I am coming into my own. I'm starting to feel more comfortable in my skin, and the things in life that used to terrify me don't bother me as much. So, I can't complain. I'm sure there so many people in the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, and so forth who want to slap people in their 20's for complaining about getting old. Puh-lease. 20's is not old!

Here is my birthday mani!

This was a layering experiment. It is 1 coat Orly Androgynie, 2 coats Butter London The Black Knight, 1 coat Rainbow Honey The Worst Possible Thing, and finally 1 coat of Hits Phenomena Afterglow.

This is so awesome! I need to layer glitters more, you can really come up with some neat results!

I don't have really any big birthday plans. I think a nice dinner, cake, and some shopping will be in the cards. My boyfriend has made it a tradition every year to bake me a cake. He's not a baker or anything, but they're always delicious and it's sweet of him to do it.

Yay! Happy Birthday to me! I normally wouldn't be all like "yay me!" and stuff, but it's my birthday I give myself permission to be a little selfish. It's allowed on your birthday...right? :P

Happy Thursday!

Rainbow Honey 20% Cooler

I must admit I have not partaken in the current My Little Pony fandom. I actually have never seen the recent adaptation of My Little Pony, but I have feeling I'm clearly missing out. I was a fan of the early 90's My Little Pony Tales series though. My best childhood friend had a huge bin of my little pony dolls. She had ponies that if you squeezed their butts they said stuff like "Comb my hair!", ponies that when you turned their head their tail hair would grow, ponies that changed color in warm water, baby ponies, mermaid ponies, glittery ponies, and so on. I was rather envious of this My Little Pony collection.

Anyways, when I came across Rainbow Honey and her Equestria Collection (inspired by the current My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) I knew I had to have some. I picked up a few in the presale. I have 20% Cooler to share with you today.

Mattified!

20% Cooler is a sheer shimmery blue base packed with rainbow glitter.

This is an amazing glitter polish. Come on now guys, you can't really go wrong with rainbow glitter! Right? I absolutely love this polish, and I have feeling it's going to make it's way to my favorites list. I think it looks amazing mattified too! I love glitters like this matte. This is just an all around fun polish!

On a side note.... I totally had this lunchbox in kindergarten with matching thermos.

Is it sad I kind of want it now? I don't know if it's appropriate for a near 26 year old to be carrying around a My Little Pony lunchbox?

You can purchase 20% Cooler and other Equestria polishes from Rainbow Honey. Full size bottles are $10, while mini bottles are $5. She also is great about updates on her Facebook page.

Happy Thursday!
