Rainbow Honey: Kawako

Rainbow Honey: Kawako
Midnight blue with silver and blue shimmer and flakes

Today I'm wearing the other Rainbow Honey polish I found in my infamous box of untrieds recently. I wore "The God Of Destiny" yesterday and wasn't quite convinced if it was a keeper or not. Today I'm going to decide whether "Kawako" is a keeper or not.

The formula is okay although the coverage didn't impress me. I needed three layers for desired opacity which is disappointing for such a relatively dark colour. The drying time was good though.

I dapped a bit of white and blue glitter by the base of each nail. The glitter is Gabrini's "C08".

This is the final design, including a layer of topcoat.

The shimmer is quite nice.

Here it is on its own, no topcoat yet.

And here are the two polishes I used today.


"Kawako" is not a keeper for me. It's too dark and the shimmer doesn't quite "pop" enough for me to love it. Also I'm not a fan of three coaters.  


Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Good
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Sheer formula, not "wow"-material
Buy again: No

Rainbow Honey: The God Of Destiny

Rainbow Honey: The God Of Destiny
A mix of black, gold and silver holo glitter

I found two old untried Rainbow Honey polishes in my infamous box of untrieds recently. I can't remember when I bought them, but it's many, many years ago. That's what happens when you buy a lot of polish, and you receive some that don't wow you. These two polishes probably need to be rehomed, but you know the rule: No polishes leave the house without being at least tried on.

The first one of the two Rainbow Honeys is "The God Of Destiny". It's so packed with glitter that I actually thought it was a polish that would work on its own. It probably can work on its own, but I think it's meant to be a topper. I layered it over black, and I only applied one layer of glitter over the black base.

I stamped on it. I found some awesome floral/skull designs on the stamping plate "Mezerdoo D-09". I stamped with a regular white stamping polish from El Corazón.

This is the final design, including a layer of topcoat.

And here are the things I used today.


Hmm... I am not sure about this polish. I might keep it for a bit and try to use it for at least one more manicure, where I dap on the glitter.


Number of coats: 1 over a coloured base
Drying time: Good
Finish: Glitter bomb
Overall impression: I am not quite sure that this is me. Maybe over a brighter, happier colour
