Indies & Undies, ft. Rainbow Honey’s “Summer Mixtape” Collection (with coupon code)

Reviews-Day Tuesday is back, y’all!  Today I have three of the twelve Rainbow Honey nail polishes from the “Summer Mixtape” collection.  Rainbow Honey is fighting the battle against boring nails – did they succeed?

Let’s start with the first polish, “I Wanna Get Better“.  This nail polish has a peachy crelly base, with neon glitter, in several shapes, including circles, hexes, squares, and stars.

Left – 1 coat, Right – 2 coats

2 coats of Rainbow Honey in “I Wanna Get Better” over 2 coats of Sinful Colors in “Skylark”.

I’m a big fan of the color combination on this one.  The orange with a few pops of yellow, pink, and purple are great for summer.  I did use a creamy, light orange base under this, since it is a crelly, and can go on kind of sheer.  But the cool thing about this color is that it is very buildable – with each coat of “I Wanna Get Better”, the color of the base became a stronger and bolder reddish-orange colour, which gave the look a lot of dimension.  I was able to get the star glitter quite easily, with minimal fishing, but I cannot say the same about the large purple and yellow circle glitters.  I was able to pick up a few, but most of them seemed to want to stay at the bottom of the bottle.

Next is “One Minute More“.  This polish is lemon-y yellow with tiny iridescent pink flecks.

3 coats of Rainbow Honey in “One Minute More”.

I have to say, I wasn’t the biggest fan of this one.  I opted to try this one with “no undies”, but I quickly began to regret that decision.  The formula was a bit thick for my liking, which led to a bit of balding, during application.  I achieved somewhat opacity with three very thick coats. Although I love a good lemon-y yellow, out of the three polishes that I received, this was my least favorite of the bunch.

Save my fave for last, right? *Drumroll*  This is “Elevate” – A clear base with a variety of shapes and colors of glitters, including triangles, circles, squares, and hexes.

Left – 1 coat, Right – 2 coats

1 coat of Rainbow Honey in “Elevate” over Revlon in “Minted”.

Gaaaaah, I love it!  So pretty, no fishing required, and this polish can go beautifully over almost any color.  I spent a good 5 minutes choosing which color I wanted to use as undies.  The formula was smooth, and each dip of the brush brought a great selection of glitters – no sinking glitters, bright fun colors – what’s not to love?
