Hey everyone, today I have some snowflake nail art, a swatch of Rainbow Honey Mint Flavor, and a Rainbow Honey haul to share!
I recently ordered a huge package of Rainbow Honey polishes and now that I'm off school I have so much time to play with them! As you can see below, I picked up the entire Summer of 199X collection, part three of the Final Battle collection, Tera Flare, Cranberry Sangria (I picked this one out but it was included for free for spending forty dollars or more), and Persephone which was thrown in as a surprise! I can't tell you guys how excited I am to use them! Be sure to let me know if you'd like to see any of these swatched before other ones, I'd be more than happy to oblige!
Aren't the boxes amazing? Everything about this brand is incredibly professional!
Here they all are for you guys to see! I think it'll be easy enough to describe which ones you'd like to see from this picture, so I won't bother listing all of the names here!
And here we have Mint Flavor, the only one of the eighteen I've tried so far! I have to say that the formula was perfect, not too thick or thin and quick-drying! Also, this beauty was almost a one-coater so what you see here is two easy coats and a coat of top coat!
I wore this on it's own for a day and I fell in love! It has the most gorgeous white or green shimmer (not sure, it looks more green in the bottle and more white on the nail) that makes it perfect for summer, winter or anywhere in between in my opinion!
Also, I fell in love with this new hand position for bottle-holding pictures! It's even perfect for Instagram! What do you guys think of it? :)
I then went in with a polish I just swatched a couple of days ago, Candy Nail Polish Egg Nog! I used a small paintbrush that I cut some bristles off of for the snowflakes, and a dotting tool for the dots!
I followed MrCandiipants' tutorial for these snowflakes (mostly because she's hilarious), but since my paintbrush was a lot thicker these look quite a bit different!
I don't really like the addition of the dots, but I'm really happy that I've finally managed to master consistent dotting!
Thanks so much for reading everyone, how are you guys doing? I'm so sorry that I haven't replied to comments in a while, I seriously love when you guys comment on my posts! I'll get onto that right now! :)

Candy Nail Polish Freshmint, Egg Nog, Fruit Cake and Sugarplum!
Hey everyone, today I have four Candy Nail Polish polishes to share!*
Sorry about not posting for four days, I now have three weeks off between semesters so I'll definitely be able to post more! Maybe I'll even try to change my nails everyday and post everyday! :)
Onto the polishes! Three of these polishes are from Candy Nail Polish's Holiday Collection (link here if you'd like to see the other three polishes in this collection) and the fourth is an unreleased new polish! All four of these polishes had flawless formulas, not too thin so that cuticle flooding was an issue and just thick enough that the glitters were perfectly suspended and distributed throughout them. I let a few of them sit upside down briefly but I really don't think they needed it! They all had really smooth finishes on their own, even Sugarplum and Freshmint despite all of the glitter in them, and that really surprised me! I did layer one coat of the top coat I always use, Essie Good To Go, over each polish for an extra smooth and shiny finish. I was even more impressed with their formulas considering they're from such a new indie brand!
This is a very picture-heavy post because these polishes are so pretty, so let's get to it!
Here's Fruit Cake with a coat of Julep's Matte Top Coat on top!
Lastly we have Sugarplum, a deep purple jelly stuffed with gold and possibly silver holographic glitters in various shapes and sizes! Show here is two coats and a coat of top coat. I posted a video to show the holographic glitters in action on my Instagram last night, here it is!
Thanks so much for reading everyone! Which of these are your favourites? Let me know in the comments! :)
*These polishes were sent for swatches and an honest review.

This is a very picture-heavy post because these polishes are so pretty, so let's get to it!
First up is Freshmint, a light green crelly polish with a slightly frosty finish and white matte hexes and shards, pink matte squares, lime green matte squares, blue metallic squares and hexes, and gold metallic hexes! What you see here is three easy coats and a coat of top coat, though it was just about a two-coater! The glitters in this remind me of candy, it's such an adorable polish!
Next is Egg Nog, an off-white/creme crelly with gold shimmer sprinkled throughout! I'm seriously in love with this polish guys, it's so delicate and beautiful and the name is so cute! I'm definitely going to wear this again soon with some nail art on top! Shown here is three coats and a coat of top coat but again, this was almost a two-coater!
Next up is Fruit Cake, a copper shimmer/frost polish with little rainbow glitters! The base looks too orange here, I really need to figure out how to colour-correct pictures! Shown here is two coats and a coat of top coat, and I also mattified it which you can see below!
