Rainbow Honey - The Robot Collection 2013






Good evening! Tonight I have the latest collection from Rainbow Honey: The Robot Collection!


Rainbow Honey Robot Collection

They came packaged so nicely, too!

Check out the awesome artwork by Mary Winkler...

Illustration by Mary Winkler for Rainbow Honey



To create the collection, Rainbow Honey’s Chief Designer, Dee Maldonado, took inspiration from anime, video games, super cheesy B films, and the work of Mary Winkler, illustrator, jewelry and textile designer.

The collection consists of 6 new polishes described by the maker as follows:

Bitty Love BotSparkling metallic aqua
Femme BotSparkling metallic peony
Dusty BotSparkling metallic lavender
Lucky BotSparkling metallic agave 
Skyward Bot -  Sparkling metallic cerulean
YoshimiA truly mod black & white combination of glitters sprinkled with a bit of iridescence


All of these polishes, with the exception of Yoshimi, applied basically the same. I used two coats of each of these with no top coat and no base coat. These LOOK like you can get by with one coat because the first coat looks like full-opacity but upon further inspection, I saw a few balds spots as they dried and did have to use two for full opacity. They do apply much like most metallic polishes in that you don't want to over-manipulate or you will get brush strokes. Knowing this going in, though, since I'm used to metallics, I didn't have any issues. I was actually pleasantly surprised I didn't end up having to re-do any nails or go over them because of brush strokes. Yoshimi is a clear-based glitter polish and I had no issues with the glitters coming out nicely and spreading evenly on the nail.

Now on to the photos...

Zoya Pixie Dust Collection 2013


Tonight I finally have the Zoya Pixie Dust Collection to show you!

This collection consists of 6 shades of textured polish:




Godiva - Soft Nude sparkle

Chyna - Red Dazzle sparkle

London - Fog Gray sparkle

Dahlia - Black Beauty sparkle

Vespa - Mint Kiss sparkle

Nyx - Perfect Periwinkle sparkle


Zoya Pixie Dust Collection


I'll just go ahead and address the formula and application now because it was the same on all 6 of them. As you would expect, it feels a little like it has sand in the polish but I had no issues with either formula or application. You do need to apply thin coats and let each coat dry between. I used no base coat and 2 coats of polish. I've included photos of each one without top coat and with one coat of Poshe top coat. They did take just a tad longer to dry but nothing that was troublesome and NOTHING like "the old days."

What do YOU think? After trying some of the other "textured" polishes (*cough Milani cough*) I was prepared to hate them. However, the finer particles along with the glitter elevate them head and shoulders above the others. Godiva and Chyna are my favorites. It's not something I would wear every day for ME, but if you're into the textures, you are going to love them.

These polishes, as well as 100s of other great Zoya polishes, retail for $8 each on zoya.com. You can also follow them on Facebook to get in on their frequent promotions and discounts as well as other information.
