Rainbow Honey (L->R) XOXO, Papillon, Be Mine,
Summer Blossom and The Kraken

Hey guys! Today I have a mix of Rainbow Honey polishes from different collections, plus one that hasn't been released yet :] I was super excited to swatch these, Rainbow Honey always has some awesome polishes up their sleeve! Check out these 5 polishes after the jump.

Be Mine is a "a 'crelly' finish polish with a dusting of microshimmer and gold flecks". This is from the Sweet Talk Collection. The gold and pink flecks make this pink polish a little bit more tolerable for me :P (the pink hater). Great Valentine's Day and spring time polish!

I did 3 coats of Be Mine. I was a little sheer on the first 2 coats but evened out nicely on the 3rd. Application and dry time were great and didn't give me any problems :]

I really love this glitter! XOXO is a "blend of glitters and flakes in a clear base for easy use over any manicure". There is a mix of holo silver and ruby colored glitters amongst lotsa other sparkly goodness.This is another polish from the Sweet Talk Collection. This topper is so freakin' sparkly it's awesome. I can totally wear this all year round happily. 

I did 2 coats of XOXO over Be Mine. This had a great smooth application and the dry time was great. I didn't have any issues with this one!

Papillon is a mix of iridescent glitter, pink glitter, iridescent flakies and glitter with some holo micro glitter. OH and I can't forget the holographic pink mini butterfly glitters :P Hello, spring time polish! The purple-y iridecent glitters have stolen my heart. This polish isn't out yet but will be released mid March in their upcoming Midnight Garden Spring Collection :]

I did 2 coats of Papillon over China Glaze Traffic Jam. It had a nice smooth application and I didn't have to fish for any butterfly glitter out. Dry time was great as well.

Summer Blossom is a "a festival of orange, yellow, and white blossoms in a sea of iridescent and holographic glitters". This was a limited edition from July last year, but it is currently in stock :] I kept wanting to layer this over a dark orange or brown lmfao but then it would defeat the purpose of "Summer Blossom". Although, this does remind me of a flowerbed of some bright flowers! I'm ready for spring y'all...lol This kind of reminds me of Papillon without a ton of iridescent glitter.

I did 2 coats of Summer Blossom over Zoya Lara. It had a great application with no issues. I didn't have to fish for the flower glitters, which kinda shocked me haha. No complaints here!

I'm not sure why I haven't purchased this polish yet. I feel so lucky to be blessed by its prettiness hahaha. The Kraken is a "marine jelly with a blue and green glow filled with glitters, shimmer, and the sea monster’s own holographic Crashing Boom Bang". Oh what a brilliant sea of glitter, flakies, color, and beautiful this polish is.

I did 2 coats of The Kraken, which kinda shocked me but made me happy! The application considering everything that is packed into this polish was awesome and so was the dry time. 5 for 5, no complaints :]
