Rainbow Honey: Kawako

Rainbow Honey: Kawako
Midnight blue with silver and blue shimmer and flakes

Today I'm wearing the other Rainbow Honey polish I found in my infamous box of untrieds recently. I wore "The God Of Destiny" yesterday and wasn't quite convinced if it was a keeper or not. Today I'm going to decide whether "Kawako" is a keeper or not.

The formula is okay although the coverage didn't impress me. I needed three layers for desired opacity which is disappointing for such a relatively dark colour. The drying time was good though.

I dapped a bit of white and blue glitter by the base of each nail. The glitter is Gabrini's "C08".

This is the final design, including a layer of topcoat.

The shimmer is quite nice.

Here it is on its own, no topcoat yet.

And here are the two polishes I used today.


"Kawako" is not a keeper for me. It's too dark and the shimmer doesn't quite "pop" enough for me to love it. Also I'm not a fan of three coaters.  


Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Good
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: Sheer formula, not "wow"-material
Buy again: No

Gabriella Salvete: #133

Pink with glass fleck

The formula of Gabriella Salvete #133 is good. I used two easy coats for full opacity and the drying time is good.

I applied a star and a flower sticker onto my nails and dapped a bit of blue/white glitter onto each nail. The glitter is Gabrini Carnaval "C08".

Here's the final result, including a layer of topcoat.
