Rainbow Honey Swatches

Hey guys!
*Products were provided for honest review*

Today I have 5 Rainbow Honey polishes to show you! Two of these are the top glitters from 2013, one is an unreleased glitter, and two are from the Sweet Talk collection! Let's get to it, shall we?


All photos are with flash and are two coats, unless otherwise noted. Sorry about the flash but I have to swatch at night when my husband can wrangle the baby, lol.

First, Be Mine, from the Sweet Talk collection.  A really pretty light pink with gold flecks of shimmer.

 Next, XOXO, one coat over Be Mine.

Papillon, a pink glitter with holographic butterfly glitters! This is one coat over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

Next, The Kraken. Trust me, this is so much prettier in person! I love these blue colors and the green glitter is just lovely.

Finally, Summer Blossom. This is one coat with placed flowers over Be Mine. The flowers weren't bad to fish out.

Operation: Helmer - January's Results!

Hey guys!

For January, I was going to be focusing on using my first China Glaze drawer. I managed to do about 5  manicures this month, which is so sad when you think that I used to do my nails almost every day! Life as a mom, I tell ya :-p

Here are the manicures that I did in January:

China Glaze High Def

OPI MBSW with OPI In True Stefani Fashion and China Glaze Aquadelic

China Glaze Pink Ombre:

Thumb to Pinky - 

Snap My Dragon, Love's A Beach, Make Some Noise, Pink Plumeria, and Mimosa's Before Mani's

Covered in Fairy Dust

China Glaze Green Ombre:

Thumb to Pinky - 

Westside Warrior, Holly Jolly, Cha Cha Cha, Gaga for Green, Re-Fresh Mint

with Snow Globe on index finger

Sunset Sail, Lemon Fizz, Papaya Punch, Velvet Bow, and Electric Beat dots

China Glaze Make Some Noise

So in total, I used 18 China Glaze polishes this month. Maybe it's cheating to do ombre's but I'm thinking that how a lot of my manicures are going to be, as I just don't have as much time to do my nails as I used to. Oh well. I think this was pretty successful, don't you?

Tomorrow, I will be posting the contest of February's drawer and asking for suggestions as to what polishes you most want to see for February!


What do you think? Did you use any of your untrieds or not as loved polishes this month?

Operation: Helmer - An Intro!

Hey guys!

So, this is rather late but I haven't had a chance to post lately! I just wanted to tell you a little bit about something I am doing this year. I'm calling it Operation: Helmer.

So, I have 2 Helmers from IKEA. They are basically full of nail polish. Not packed to the gills, but pretty much. I also have two shoeboxes full of nail polish on top of these helmers, one of which is a box of untried nail polish. This is ridiculous, as I do not ever reach into my helmer drawers for a color. So, I decided to utilize my helmers much better this year.

I am going to be using one drawer per month, along with the untrieds that are out of the helmers. This way, I will hopefully be able to go through each drawer pretty thoroughly at the end of the month and purge what I either didn't use very much or colors I decided aren't my favorites. I know that I won't get to every bottle in each drawer but it will be a good start to use my stash, instead of just adding to it!

It also seemed like a fun idea for me to post the contents of each drawer at the beginning of the month and ask for viewer requests, such as colors you would really like to see or different color combinations. I'm not always the most creative at color combinations, plus this would be a great way for more interaction :-)

Since January is half over, I won't be posting the first drawer (which is China Glaze, btw) but I will be posting February's drawer in about 2 weeks: Indies!

Hopefully this will help me to use and purge and organize! I might not get to post actual blog posts for each manicure but I will be posting on Instagram so if you want to follow along, follow me at http://instagram.com/fashionfooting! If you want to join me in my quest, use #operationhelmer, even if you don't have a helmer :-p

Now let's get to polishing!

SinfulColors Sheer Lustre Glitter Topcoats

Hey guys!

*Products were sent for review*


SinfulColors is releasing the Sheer Lustre Glitter Topcoats collection, "designed to be worn over and SinfulColors nail polish to add extra bling to any look. Choose from 6 sheer glittery topcoats designed to transform your fave shades to instant glitz and glam."

Girl's Best Friend is a pink and blue microglitter. This is one coat over OPI My Vampire Is Buff. This glitter was quite dense and easy to apply. One coat was perfect.

Glittery in Pink is a blush pink glitter in assorted sizes. This was one coat over Wet n Wild Black. Again, easy to apply and no issues with fishing any glitters out of the bottle.

Both of these glitters were easy to apply and I had zero trouble with either one. They were packed with glitters, making them easy to apply! I think my favorite was the Glittery in Pink, I'm loving the blush colors right now!

SinfulColors Holiday Tinsel Collection

Hey guys!

*Products were sent for review*

SinfulColors is releasing two collections for the holidays, to help embellish your little black dresses and zazz up your nails!

The first one up is the Holiday Tinsel collection "offers a festive flourish that's worth celebrating. Each holiday-inspired shade is infused with glitter that gives nails a just-tinseled touch." Now, if you are a fan of bar glitter, you will love these!

Both of these are one coat over a base color, with no topcoat.

Gold Tinsel is a gold and what looks like champagne colored bar glitter. One coat over Julep Josephine. This polish was especially packed with glitter and one coat was plenty of glitter on the nail.

Silver Rainbows is a silver holographic bar glitter. One coat over Nicole by OPI Challenge Red-y.

 This collection is available exclusively at Walgreens and retails for $1.99
