Rainbow Honey Fab Summer Set: Schrammi, Tenda & Costa del Sol

May 22nd, 2013 · Beauty, Swatches

I have the FAB exclusive  Summer Set for you today from Rainbow Honey with three fantastic colors for summer.

From FAB, “the FAB Summer Set is as refreshing as a cold sip of freshly squeezed lemonade. This set of three includes a dazzling array of shimmering polishes: kelly green, deep coral, and a sparkly lacquer that glitters with holographic flecks. Paint yourself in a beautiful new light.”

Rainbow Honey Schrammi Rainbow Honey Schrammi Rainbow Honey Schrammi

Rainbow Honey Schrammi is a coral creme with little flecks of gold. This is absolutely gorgeous and summer-worthy. The color is reminiscent of tropical sunsets, strawberry daiquiris, margaritas, and everything fun about summer.

Pictured above is two thin coats. The formula was great! Not too thin, not too thick, not watery, and easy to control for optimal application.

Rainbow Honey Tenda Rainbow Honey Tenda Rainbow Honey Tenda

Rainbow Honey Tenda is a bright, grass green creme with little golden flecks. I wasn’t able to capture the color correctly; it is washed out in these photos. These photos do not do it justice at all. Tenda evokes memories of lush green forests, rolling around in the grass, and bright, happy feelings.

Pictured above is two coats. I struggled with application with Tenda. I found that this color was a little bit thicker, so err on the side of caution and make sure you really load up your brush with polish. Otherwise, the color gets a little lumpy and doesn’t self-level out.

Rainbow Honey Costa del Sol Rainbow Honey Costa del Sol Rainbow Honey Costa del Sol Rainbow Honey Costa del Sol Rainbow Honey Costa del Sol Rainbow Honey Costa del Sol

Rainbow Honey Costa del Sol is a gold glitter topcoat with large hexagonal glitters, bar glitters, microglitter, and shimmer. Absolutely gorgeous, and this is coming from a girl who isn’t the biggest fan of gold. This topcoat is jam packed with glitter and shimmer! No digging needed, which makes application an absolute breeze. No need to fish for bar glitter, or hex glitter for an even-looking manicure. It just flows right onto the nail.

Pictured above is one coat of Costa del Sol with Tenda and Schrammi.

The FAB Summer Set is now available through fab.com for a limited time only. Each set contains 3 full size 15ml nail lacquers designed exclusively for FAB by Rainbow Honey and retails for $25.

FACE Stockholm Thea

FACE Stockholm Thea is a linear, pale green holographic polish. It is absolutely gorgeous. It’s not a new color in the world of holos, but it is still spectacular.

Pictured above is two thin coats with no topcoat. However, adding topcoat does not make it any less linear than what is pictured above.

Wear time for this bad boy is fantastic. You get the awesome linear-ness of GOSH Holographic without the horrible wear time. I spent a day typing at my computer with no chips, and two days of rock climbing with okay wear. Some chipping due to the abrasion on rocks, but nothing terrible like chipping within 10 minutes from washing my hair.

Thea is one of six new holographics released recently by FACE Stockholm. Thea and the other holographics retail for $16 each and are available via their website.

I can’t rave enough about this one. It’s absolutely stellar. My favorite Shimmer color to date!

Emily de Molly It’s Complicated

Emily de Molly It's Complicated Emily de Molly It's Complicated Emily de Molly It's Complicated Emily de Molly It's Complicated

Happy Friday! Today I have Emily de Molly It’s Complicated. This polish is anything but. Complex, maybe, but not complicated. It’s absolutely gorgeous!

It’s Complicated is a white jelly polish with black hexagonal and shard glitter, purple hexagonal glitter, and holographic-y translucent hexagonal glitter.

Pictured above are three thin coats. It’s Complicated applied like a dream… ridiculously smoothly and easily. I didn’t have much trouble with needing to fish out glitters. Dry time was great.

Emily de Molly is available through her Etsy page (but only if you’re in Australia!) for about $12 USD or through Llarowe ($13 USD),  Shoppe Ecclecticco ($15 USD), or Norway Nails (NOK159). A bit pricy, but well worth it in my opinion. Especially if you’re a sucker for white jellies.

Sheswai Ladylike

Sheswai Ladylike Sheswai Ladylike

Sheswai Ladylike is a lovely, lovely rosy pink creme with bits of silver shimmer dispersed throughout. I’m not really a pink person, but this one, I absolutely love. Ladylike is new for spring 2013, along with Dig It and For Real.

This polish had great coverage. Pictured above is two thin coats. You probably could get away with just one thick coat with a steady hand. Just gorgeous.

Sheswai Ladylike and the rest of the spring 2013 lacquers are available via Sheswai and Beauty Sage for $16.
