Rainbow Honey The Yokai Collection

 Hey guys! Today I have a new collection from Rainbow Honey called The Yokai collection. If you haven't heard of Rainbow Honey before, they make some amazing polishes and I am blow away by their packaging as well, you can check them out at RainbowHoney.com or on Facebook.
 The Yokia is a limited edition collection that is set to release on October 13th. It includes Kitsune, Oni and Kawako. First up is bottle shots and the packaging.

 Now for the polishes in the Yokai collection.
 Kawako, the mischievous river child, a deep blue base with small silver and blue flakes and what seems like iridescent larger flakes, you might be able to spot one on my ring finger. It does make application of this polish a little more difficult because some of the larger flakes tend to hang over the edge of the nail but it is manageable. Picture is two coats with top coat.

 Kitsune, the magical white fox, is a light nude base packed with brown glitter, orange and gold holographic glitter along with a fine gold shimmer. Picture is two coats with top coat. This one was a bit thick but nothing a few drops of thinner shouldn't be able to take care of.

 I saved my surprise favorite for last, Oni, the malevolent wild demon, a dark brown base with gold and purple flakes. I think it is absolutely stunning! Picture is two coats with top coat.

 Do you have a favorite from this collection, will you be picking any up?

Cherry Blossoms, Geisha, And Newsprint

 Hey guys! I'm back with Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh? today and a design inspired by Robin Moses. She did a geisha with cherry blossoms and newsprint a little while back and it seemed so perfect I had to try it! You can watch her video here. Of course, her design is amazing, as always, and my nails are much shorter than the set Robin did. I had less room and had to change things to fit my nails but I really love it.

 At first my Japanese newspaper did not want to transfer so I went ahead and finished out my nails with the cherry blossoms and the geisha. I was so frustrated with the paper that I whined for a full day. My wonderful husband, tired of me complaining about crappy paper, went to the store down the road and bought a few different ones to try and, happily, they worked. 

 The base is OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh? and the rest is acrylic paint and transferred newsprint. 

 Below is what it looked like before the newsprint. 

 What is one of the most frustrating things for you about doing your own nails?

OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?

  Hey everyone! My week has flown by, how about yours?

 Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh? was one of the polishes that I knew I had to have from the Holland collection. It is a nude, bisque sort of grey putty shade. You know the old silly putty that used to come in the plastic egg? It was a nice pink beige color until you started to play with it, transferring newspaper print and then it started to look dingy and dirty? That is what this reminds me of. 

 Picture is two coats. No problems at all with this one, very easy to work with.
