Rainbow honey mystery unbagging April 2016

Rainbow honey mystery bag is a service that I subscribe to I was not provided this in exchange for posting.

This months bag (my birthday month at that) was pretty awesome. I got 3 polishes and a top coat, and I loved all 3 polishes this month! I would have to say the Peach tea is my favorite of the 3. Its something about the glitter I think. I do like the scent of the body spray but I do think tea is a bit weird to smell like. Maybe just a straight peach scent or something other than peach tea would have been better. I did see a lot of people online talking about how they wouldn't want to smell like peach tea. I can't wait to see what they have up their sleeve next month. Till then ~ Ruby

I really love any month that comes with cuticle balms. I can't tell you how many of rainbow honeys cuticle balms I have purchased over the years. I love them! The blue jelly polish this month I would have to say was my ultimate favorite of the month. I passed on the outer space dust to a friend but it met its untimely demise and ended up breaking and splattering its lifeforce over several of its brothers and sisters. Overall a great month and just another month I am glad to be subscribed.

A long time ago in a galaxy far away I found an awesome Disney themed topper from a new to me indie brand and was lucky enough to receive a mini of it from a friend! At the time King Triton from Blue Sparrow Trinkets only came in a mini and I love minis so I was totally cool with that. Until I saw the polish in person and it blew my tiny little brain. For months it sat untried as I was afraid to use up all this awesomeness. When I finally did break down and use it I kept it on for 4 days so you know it's true love.

Top 5 Favorite Indie Polishes

Top 5 Favorite Indie Polishes


Really asking for top 5 indie polishes is like asking for someone to pick only 5 stars in the sky to enjoy. There is just so many to love and constantly more coming into creation that I find it impossible to pick just a few. I decided to pick a few that I have used over the last few years and tried to diversify this list. Maybe I will do more of these types of posts, who knows. No, these aren't in any specific order.

A mixed bag of Daily Hues nail lacquer

I had these babies swatched for you for a bit I just sadly had items that I had to get posted first. These are from my stash that I got from Daily Hues nail lacquer. I even attempted my first ever successful water marble with them. Please ignore the weird nail shape I had going on here in these pictures. My middle and pointer were (and still are) patched but I have learned how to make them look better.

Pink Lemonade Watermarble

The heat has begun to finally feel sort of Summer-like and do you know what I associate most with heat? 
Yep, hands down it's pink lemonade! Originally I thought of doing a gradient...but then I thought what could be better than a pink and yellow watermarble!

It's Mer-Magical!

Living in the Midwest there are few special effect polishes that I can take full advantage of, however thermal polishes are one. Between the 6 month long winters and extreme summer heat requiring air conditioning I can wear thermals year round. This particular squishy, glittery color changer is Polish Me Silly Mermaid Tears. I was inspired to add some nail art by the name and color since who doesn't love mermaids!

Little Miss Disappear

Disclosure:  I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation


If there's one thing I'm probably the biggest sucker for it's anything and everything Disney related! The Lady Varnishes has been releasing a monthly Disney villain since December 2014 and then last November she also began releasing a Disney/Pixar Girl monthly as well. These ladies have all been full coverage holographic micro glitters. April's Pixar Girl was Little Miss Disappear for Violet Parr in The Incredibles; it is indeed incredible!

A true violet, Little Miss Disappear is made up of various sized blue and purple micro glitters. Pictured is 2 coats over an almost invisible base color but can be fully opaque in 3 layers on its own. Not only is the holo stunning but this can appear more blue or purple leaning depending on lighting.

One for all, and all for one

Helloooo readers, we haven't officially met yet but I think we'll get to know each other soon enough. I will be doing a formal intro post in the future but for now: Hi I'm Netters!

Gotta love that feeling when you squash one of your biggest polish lemmings. Recently, thanks to her wonderful kindness, I was able to get my hands on the entire Musketeers collection from European indie maker Polish Alcoholic. I've loved pretty much anything to do with every variation of The Musketeers for as long as I remember. Most recent in my heart however has been the BBC series The Musketeers. I discovered this collection not long after the show aired on BBC America and immediately added it to my wishlist. However before I could purchase it Aramis sold out! Boo. I decided to contact the owner out of desperation and she was sweet enough to make more Aramis so I could purchase the whole collection and at sale prices to boot. I swooned harder for these babies than their respective actors on the show...and that's pretty hard.
