Barielle Summer Brights

Barielle has a new Summer Brights collection!

Lemondrops is a super bright yellow creme. This was 3 coats and it was still a bit patchy. I'm just not a yellow fan honestly! It also was super hard to get off of my cuticles! And my nails are still stained from this a week later...

Pink Flip-Flops is a pale pepto pink creme. This was 3 coats and the formula was fine.

Sweet Addiction is a teal creme with a hint of silver shimmer. It's quite hidden and I didn't really notice it in person. I do love these teal shades though! This was two coats.

Cosmic Kiss is an almost jellyish fuchsia creme. This was two coats. I had some sheet marks and tried to fix them lol.

Blue Capri is a super intense cobalt blue creme that reminds me of Nails Inc Baker Street! This was two coats.

Overall this collection had good formulas except the yellow, but I pretty much always have trouble with yellows. The color selections really weren't very exciting though. I'm usually not a creme fan! 

You can buy Barielle polishes for $8 on their site or $25 for this collection. You get %15 off for registering with your email, and they're pretty much always buy one get one 50% off! Ulta also sells them and you can use their coupons if you'd prefer to buy them in person. Don't forget to check out Barielle's Facebook page too!

Bondi New York Chasing the Sun ~ and Giveaway!

There is a new brand of polish around! - Bondi New York
You may have heard of this brand on Twitter or your favorite blogs by new, but it was definitely new to me when I heard about it a few months ago!
They don't have a whole lot of colors yet, and most of them are cremes, but: "Our mission is to launch twenty fashion forward colors twice a year which follow and predict runway trends, in addition to limited edition collaborations a few times a year."
Also an awesome thing, they donate to charity! "100% of the net proceeds of the brand go to our non-profit which in turn makes grants to charitable organizations. Our first partnership is with The Food Bank for New York whom we are donating a minimum of $25k this financial year."

Chasing the Sun is a nice bright orange creme. It's kind of traffic cone orange, bright but not neon, and a tiny hint of white thrown in (which you can see in the next picture better).

The formula was nice and smooth, but a little patchy, so three coats cleared that up.

You can buy Bondi New York polish on their website for $15 a bottle. They're also available internationally at Harlow and Co for $15. Like their Facebook page too!

And we have a giveaway for you, courtesy of Bondi New York!!

Zoya Summer Pixie Dust Collection

More Pixies! Buy all the Pixies! I am loving these textured polishes so much!

This is the Zoya Pixie Dust Summer Edition! All of these have a super glittery matte textured finish. The formula on all of them was GREAT.


Destiny is a gorgeous coral pink with gold and coral glitter. This is three coats, with Solange sandwiched in on the ring finger. It really makes a polish glow!


Solange is like gold dust on my fingers! It's a bright yellow gold with gold and yellow glitter and a little orange shimmer. This is two coats.

Beatrix is a nice tangerine orange. It's bright, but softer than bright orange. It has gold, yellow, and orange glitter. This is two coats.

Miranda is a pretty fuchsia berry with silver and pink glitters. This is two coats.

Stevie is a pretty pale lilac purple with silver glitter. This was two coats.

Liberty is a bright royal blue with even brighter blue and silver glitter. This was two coats, but it needed three.

 All of these formulas were really great and I love love love the textured finish. Liberty and Destiny needed 3 coats and the others were 2. They look so pretty layered too!

You can get these polishes on Zoya's website - $54 for the collection of 6 or $9 for one.
If you sign up for an account with this link you'll receive a coupon for a free bottle of Zoya nail polish! If you add two more polishes to your order you even get free shipping. Awesome deal! So you could get this full collection for $45 and free shipping = $7.50 a polish.

Franken Femme Stardust

Hey ladies and gents! Today I have a franken for you from Franken Femme. She has a polish blog where she posts recipes and swatches of frankens she's made. She's also considering selling, so if you like her stuff, let her know!

This is Stardust! I named it with the help of some friends since Franken Femme didn't have a name for it.

This is a super pale mint blue with iridescent glassfleck shimmer. 

Here's a good view against white so you can really see the color of it.

And it glows! It's the little glitters or something that really glows and not so much the base polish. I think that makes it even cooler, and that's why I named it Stardust :). 

Check out Franken Femme's blog for some cool frankening ideas, recipes, and resources! If you'd like to buy a franken from Franken Femme, see which ones she has for sale (this post), or ask her if she'll make you a custom one, you can email her at frankenfemme@gmail.com.

Rainbow Honey Robot Collection

Here is the new Rainbow Honey Robot Collection!!

All of the polishes except Yoshimi have the same finish - metallic with silver flakies. 

I absolutely love the art they did for this collection! I wish it were on the bottles too! Here is a little info on the collection and colors too.

Femme Bot is a fuschia metallic.

The formula was good with two coats.

Dusty Bot is a pale silvery purple metallic.

The formula was good with two coats.

Lucky Bot is a bright fresh green metallic.

The finish on this one was really odd. It was drying a bit before I even finished a coat, almost like a matte polish. It was doable, just weird. This is two coats.

Skyward Bot is an ocean blue metallic.

The formula was good with two coats.

Bitty Love Bot is a light teal metallic.

This formula was a lot like Lucky Bot's - quick to dry and weird. This is two coats.

Yoshimi is a clear base filled with black and white squares of various sizes and small iridescent glitters.

This is one coat of Yoshimi over Bondi New York Chasing the Sun. The formula had no issues.

This is totally my favorite polish in the collection! It's a little Connect the Dots-esque, but a totally different take. The iridescent glitters really make it unique.
The metallic collection is a little done, but I do like how they paired a metallic collection with the robot theme. Very cute idea! The foily collection reminds me of the older Color Club Foiled collection of metallic polishes. The colors are mostly different though, so if you dig metallic/foil polishes, hit this one up!

These polishes are available on Rainbow Honey's website for $10 each or $50 for the set of 6. The mini set is $25. Don't worry if you're not in the US, she has lots of other retailers!

This was two coats with a great formula.

Jindie Nails Smells Like Green Spirit

Aahh a Nirvana reference :P

Jindie Nails Smells Like Green Spirit is a super bright green jelly with small/medium/large hexes silver/purple/light pink/blue and medium blue circle glitter.

The formula was great. This is two coats. I love how super bright this is, and who doesn't like circle glitter?
