Ruby White Tips Happy Hour Collection Part 3 - Mind Eraser, Time of Our Lives and One Too Many

Press Sample 
*These Products are Cruelty Free 


I'm back with the final installment of the Happy Hour Collection from Ruby White Tips! Tonight I have the last 3 polishes in the collection: Mind Eraser, Time of Our Lives and One Too Many.  If you missed Part 1 with Bay Breeze, Pina Colada and Pink Sangria, check out my post here and to see Bubblegum Martini and Midnight Cosmos, click here.



Ruby White Tips Happy Hour Collection


Here's what the maker had to say about them:

Mind Eraser - What? It's a Mind Eraser....A what? A mind Eraser. A what? Oh never mind. 
Layered over ice. This is done as a quick shot. The first of the night back in my days...Vodka under Kahlua in the middle of club soda on the top. This is the darkest blue that you can get with out being black. It's so blue, it's black. 


My thoughts - I used one coat of this one and the formula is great. No issues other than it's really difficult to capture how this one looks in real life. The artificial lighting photos are accurate though. No top coat for the photos of it alone.

Time of Our LivesThe first of the Happy Hour Collection!! When you go out on the town, you want to what??? Have "The Time Of our Lives"....Why not! This is full and pure silver holo glitter throughout the whole polish. The scent is grapefruit, which doesn't last through a good hand washing! But it smells so much better when you open it, not stinking up the whole house with the smell of polish. I know a few people that can't tell when a polish has been opened in the house when I have this stuff added to it! I love it. If you do NOT want the smell, please say so in the comment area and I won't add it. 

My thoughts - I didn't know it was scented when I received it (or I would have asked for unscented as scented polishes trigger horrible migraines) so after I took the photos, I removed it. I did, however, put this one on my toes and weeks later, it's STILL on my toes over a plain black creme. It's so gorgeous and sparkly that I just HAD to wear it somewhere! And yes, I'm flexible enough to check out if the scent lasted and it did not. Don't judge me. It's truly so much more gorgeous and sparkly than my camera could capture. I used one coat in the layering photos and on the thumb I used two coats alone. One coat of Poshe top coat.

One More TimeSometimes when drinking you don't use your brains enough. And by that I mean, you don't stop drinking when you know you should. You have "One too Many"! No one wants that. Some of the best parties you've ever been to you've had one too many. It's never as pretty as this polish though. Or smells as good as it either. This one smells like Monkey Farts!!!! Yep, Monkey Farts. That smells a little like bananas, and tons like pineapples......Can be taken out of the polish if you would like it to be unscented. Just write that in the comments. The scent doesn't last long, but in the bottle it will smell forever, just on your fingers it gets off the very first hand washing. Like "Time of our Lives", this is a full glitter with black holo base.

My thoughts - again, I didn't realize it was scented until I opened it but how wonderful that you can request it without scent! I used one coat as a reverse gradient over Mind Eraser and one full coat in the "skittles" photos. One coat of Poshe top coat.

Ruby White Tips Happy Hour Collection Part 2 - Bubblegum Martini and Midnight Cosmos

Press Sample 
*These Products are Cruelty Free 


I'm back tonight with two more polishes from the Happy Hour Collection by Ruby White Tips - Bubblegum Martini and Midnight Cosmos. If you missed Part 1 with Bay Breeze, Pina Colada and Pink Sangria, check out my post here.


Ruby White Tips Happy Hour Collection
(*I had the bottle turned wrong on the top right - that's Bubblegum Martini)


Tonight we're going to have a Bubblegum Martini and a Midnight Cosmos! Here's what the maker had to say about them:

Bubblegum Martini Remember those days when you were young and you had Bazooka bubble gum? Well they can make that exact taste in a vodka cocktail now! YEP! You drink these and it's just like bubble gum. Talk about having a few too many!! This is a hot orange pink color. Neon. It has these blue sheer flakes in it and square iridescent colors in it too. It's sheer and matte, great with a glitter helper topcoat! 

My thoughts - This is a very cool color and I loved the iridescent flakes of course. I used 3 coats and one coat of Poshe top coat for the photos. No issues to report.

Midnight Cosmos - If you're anything like me you've had a few of these things called Cosmopolitans. I wasn't supposed to be out long, just for Happy Hour. How did it get to be Midnight already???? This is a matte type of polish. Best with only 2 coats and a nice shiny topcoat! 

My thoughts - This one says 2 coats and I suspect that may work for shorties, but I needed 4 coats, mostly to hide my staining. It dries to a wax or rubber finish. Photos are with 4 coats and both without and with top coat. No issues other than the number of coats.

Ruby White Tips - Happy Hour Collection Part 1

Press Sample 
*These Products are Cruelty Free 



Tonight I have 3 polishes from the latest collection from Ruby White Tips - The Happy Hour Collection! I have the whole collection to show you over the next day or two also!



Ruby White Tips Happy Hour Collection


The three I"ll be showing you tonight are Pina Colada, Pink Sangria and Bay Breeze.

Here's what the maker had to say about these:

Pina ColadaThe first tropical drink I ever had was a Pina Colada. I think it was the brain freeze that mad me get such a headache from them! Never again. I still can't even drink Slurpee's because of it. The smell though....OMG It's heavenly! Pick a fruit, there's a bunch of the neon's in the white creamy base. It's a great color. No lumps totally smooth too! There's some purple, green, pink and blue squares in there. With some micro blue making the base look light blue, but it's not, it's white. 

Sangria First time I ever had sangria.....What the hell is this fruit for? Then I took a sip and fell in love! If you've never had Sangria it's a red wine, with all sorts of fruit in it. It's got a ton of pure cane sugar in it too! It turns from a deep purple red wine color to a pinkish purple color. Kind of similar to this polish. Polish is red based, but turned hot magenta with purple foiled flakes! It's an amazing color! 

Bay BreezeVodka, Cranberry and Pineapple! (Malibu Baybreeze is a close, just swap the vodka for it). My past life (before kids) I bartended. For a LONGgggggg time. Maybe that's why I like mixing polishes so much? I think I owe those reading this money for therapy...This color is really smooth. It's a teal base color with a hue of yellow, but not yellow. It's a really hard thing to explain.

Ruby White Tips Boo2 - for Batworld.org

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 


This morning I have another polish to show you from Ruby White Tips - one of their batworld.org polishes: Boo2!


Ruby White Tips Boo2


Boo2 is described as "super vibrant! It's base is blue, but has plenty of undertones of purple. There's some added holo micro sparkles that make it shine even more! This is best with a top coat but is still beautiful without one."

I used two coats of Boo2 with and without top coat for the photos. No issues with formula or application at all. The shimmer in this one is beautiful! I would describe this as a blue-hued purple with scattered holo.

I'm not sure how most of you feel about bats, but I've always held a special place in my heart for them. I actually have a bat house in my back yard. Not only does it stave off mosquitoes, the bat guano is great for plants! Before I started using this on my plants, I killed everything. And mosquitoes smell the bats and/or bat guano and hightail it somewhere else!

Stay tuned for more Ruby White Tips polishes!

Ruby White Tips Kick A$$ Top Coat - Swatches and Review

Press Sample 
*This product is Cruelty Free 


Tonight I'm starting the first in a series of reviews on a new-to-me indie: Ruby White Tips!

To start things off, I'll be showing you a very sparkly, holo-y top coat called Kick A$$ Top Coat! (Yes I've replaced the Ss with $s because of search engines tagging my posts as not safe for kids or worse because sometimes there are "neutral" polishes that get described as n- u- d- e, etc.  And we all know I'm totally kid-safe!)

Ruby White Tips polishes are all at least 3-free and most are 5-free, and vegan. They test their polishes for several months before releasing. Stay with me until the end of the post for a 20% off code!

Kick A$$ Top Coat is a clear-based micro-glitter topper that is way too sparkly and holo for my camera to capture well. And the close up photos make the teensy micro-glitters look larger than they are. Apologies in advance. I layered one coat over Nails Inc. Dutchess Street, a deep blurple, and had no issues at all with application or formula. Since putting it on my fingers, I've added it to my current pedicure too! I want to put it over everything!
