Rescue Beauty Lounge Naked Without Polish and Rainbow Honey Pink Cloud

Wow.  Long time no post.  Things have been crazy over here and I feel like we need to add more hours to the day so that I can do all the things I want/need to do.  Ever feel like that? Luckily, I've had some down time too and spent quite a few hours this year in a boat, on a lake.  I am such a water lover and find that I'm able to fill that empty tank of mine most adequately when I'm around a body of water.

Anyway, I hope you are enjoying your summer!  On to some nail polish!

I really enjoy me some nudes or neutral polish.  I think I've said this before, but it is just a really soothing thing to me.  Don't get me wrong, I love loud colors as well but a really creative neutral?  Count me in.

This is Rescue Beauty Lounge Naked Without Polish from Ji's Fan Collection 2.0.  A gorgeous shade of pale pink with copper flake and this gorgeous gold shimmer that shifts in certain lights to green.  I love when a basic color made more unique with a few touches.  This definitely fits here.  I also used Rainbow Honey's Pink Cloud as an accent.  I found they worked really well together.

Gorgeous, eh?

Naked Without Polish applied like a dream, two easy coats that leveled without much work from me.  Pink Cloud was a bit thick but I attribute that to the suspension based used to make such polishes.  It wasn't uncontrollable and was pretty easy to use.  I love the pop that Pink Cloud gave to this.  Anything for a bit more sparkle, am I right? :)

Rescue Beauty Lounge Naked Without Polish can be purchased here.  Rainbow Honey Pink Cloud (and other Rainbow Honey colors) can be purchased here, usually.  It looks as if Dee (the creative genius behind the brand) is getting ready for a new release too, so watch out for that.

Hope you liked the post!  And I hope to see you soon.  Ish.  Enjoy!!

Random Takko's, No Shell Needed.

Hello and Happy Wednesday!  I hope that your week is off to a great start.  To be honest, I wish I could say the same but it seems that Murphy (and his law) was right.  It can only get better right?  I will say that nail polish helps.  How you ask?  I find it very therapeutic to paint my nails.  It's my chance in the everyday hectic sludge that we call life to do something I enjoy.  It's also a very peaceful and soothing thing to do.  With four kids, it's interrupted most times, but I wouldn't change being called 'Mom' for silence.

On to the POLISH!!  Today I have a couple Takko Lacquer to share with you, courtesy of an amazing friend (who let me borrow them).  Now, I don't know about you but in my head, I always think Takko=Taco.  I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong but it will forever stay that way in my head.  Sorry Sheryl! <3  They are beautiful!!

For my first manicure (mani=manicure for those of you out there who aren't of Nail World) consists of Takko Marie Antoinette with Rainbow Honey's The Element of Magic and Hanami.

Gorgeous colors all by themselves, but you put them together and BAM!

Takko's Marie is a vibrant pale blue with gorgeous pink shimmer that stands out.  Rainbow Honey's Element of Magic is a glitter bomb of various purple glitter (some holo) with awesome blue and purple shimmer. I love them both separately but put them together and I DIE.  I also wore Hanami (a cherry blossom of a glitter topper) on my thumb with Element of Magic.

A blurry photo to really show off that sparkle.

 Wow, right?

The last mani I have to show you is Elevation Polish's Falzarego (which was a small batch prototype, aka a SBP) with Takko's Get Lucky (a gold holo glitter) sponged on the tips.  I love this one too.

 

As always, Elevation can be found here.  Takko Lacquer can be found here while news about updates and when she will restock can be found here.  Last, but not least, Rainbow Honey can be found here.  You should check them out. Dee has a My Little Pony collection (hello, where do you think The Element of Magic came from?) as well as cremes, shimmers, and other stuff.

Thanks for stopping by!
