<b>Materials Used: </b>Orly "Liquid Vinyl", Rainbow Honey "<a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/products/the-god-of-destiny-15ml">The God of Destiny</a>", Cult Nails "Tempest", Zoya "Song", OPI "Congeniality is My Middle Name", China Glaze "Fairy Dust", Poshe Topcoat, Martha Stewart fine craft glitter in "Crystal"; Size 0 round brush; makeup sponge cut into halves;<br />
<br />
Step 1: Start with clean nails; paint base coat and when dry coat with your favorite black.<br />
Step 2: Paint one coat of "The God of Destiny" and let dry.<br />
Step 3: Sponge "Tempest" (or any other opaque white) in the general shape you will want to color. Using white first will allow the other colors to pop!<br />
Tip: When you pick up some color with your sponge, dab the excess off before dabbing on the nail.<br />
Step 4: Fill in most of your white area by sponging on "Song".<br />
Step 5: While still wet, lightly sponge on "Congeniality..." on the edges and as an accent to your tastes.<br />
Step 6: I filled in with a bit more "TGoD" around the edges, but this is optional!<br />
Step 7: With a fine brush or dotting tool add some white specks over your colors.<br />
Step 8: When everything has dried, add a thin coat of clear polish or topcoat; then gently sprinkle some of the crystal glitter on top.<br />
Step 9: When dry, top off with a coat of "Fairy Dust" for some nice holographic sparkle! Seal with a top coat if desired and you're done!<br />

To get everyone cheering for their team on our Facebook page I created two looks for the Superbowl! The first one is inspired by the Baltimore Ravens:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-beWp1C1q1Z0/UQ_88TQriFI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/zB93fIg2fKM/s1600/fb-09985.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-beWp1C1q1Z0/UQ_88TQriFI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/zB93fIg2fKM/s400/fb-09985.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To achieve this look I first painted 1 coat of black on all except my ring finger - I went with two coats of Gilded Angel there. Then I layered on 1 coat of Element of Magic on all my nails (and really that was already a pretty nice look!). To finish it off, I did tips with Gilded Angel and then a short and sweet gradient of Lunairetic on the accent. It looked quite awesome and sparkly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ukXnr4VumDg/UQ_845q6R7I/AAAAAAAAAas/PH0sGB1N6aM/s1600/fb-00006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ukXnr4VumDg/UQ_845q6R7I/AAAAAAAAAas/PH0sGB1N6aM/s400/fb-00006.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second look was a red and gold look to represent the San Francisco 49ers:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MBLbSQp9PtE/UQ_88UHVlqI/AAAAAAAAAbM/hOCrjkIGCp8/s1600/fb-09979.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MBLbSQp9PtE/UQ_88UHVlqI/AAAAAAAAAbM/hOCrjkIGCp8/s400/fb-09979.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one was pretty simple: 2 coats of Gilded Angel on all except accent. Then I did a gradient with Glittering Rapture: I did one thin coat starting a bit further down from the start of nail, let dry, and then one more thin coat starting at about halfway through the nail. The accent was about 2 coats of Dearly Beloved (I did two coats and then placed one more heart for good measure). </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Surely you've seen <a href="http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=water+marble">water marble</a> nail art by now! I, too, had many failed attempts when the water marble craze seemed to be at its height early last year, but eventually I got the hang of it! I felt like it had been sooooo long since the last time I did this, so I went for it again! For this manicure, I used "<a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/products/gilded-angel-15ml">Gilded Angel</a>", Zoya "Blaze", and Essie "Butler Please". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with 1 thin coat of Gilded Angel, this would be the 'backdrop' of the marble where most people use white. (Note: I did try to use both GA and Annual Emotion in the water, but they dry too quickly!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vX6DrKkHZIw/UQcrFA7pOJI/AAAAAAAAAYY/L-0jvIlvVRs/s1600/fb-09608.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vX6DrKkHZIw/UQcrFA7pOJI/AAAAAAAAAYY/L-0jvIlvVRs/s400/fb-09608.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, you're going to use some tape to cover around your fingers and nail beds, this will make cleanup easier! I've seen people use everything from glue to watercolor frisket, so feel free to be creative here! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, set yourself up with the polishes you'll be using, a small cup or bowl with room temperature water, and some napkins or paper towels. You'll also want something with a pointy edge to do your swirling!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You're going to alternate drops of polish slowly into the water, I only did about 3-4 drops each time, as I wanted the gold to show through in the end.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, take your pointy tool of choice and swirl! Be as creative as you'd like, but moderation is key!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are essentially creating a film on the surface of the water, much like what forms on your nails after the solvents evaporate! So, one at a time, dip your nails onto the film with some care as to the placement of the swirls. Sink it into the water and then slowly pull your finger out <i>without touching more of the polish on the surface of the water. </i>It should look like this!</div>

This might be perfectly ok for some (and admittedly, the excess polish will probably rub off as you do dishes or wash your hair) but for the perfectionist, you'll want to grab your favorite polish remover and a bristled brush:</div>

For these gifts, I chose two very special pieces of music that I absolutely love. "Dearly Beloved" is an instrumental piece from the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JATCsxW2fwo">Kingdom Hearts</a> series of video games:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />

"Dearly Beloved" is meant for layering and includes various shades and sizes of gold shimmer, gold microglitter, and red hearts and squares. It's really a very special combination! Shown below is 1 coat over black and over <a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/products/be-mine">Be Mine</a> on accent. </div>

The second gift polish is a bit more playful! I'm a huge fan of The Bird and The Bee and "My Love" is easily one of my favorite songs of theirs:</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span">I absolutely adore how Inara and co. are straight up dancing in confetti and glitter at the end! "My Love" also serves well for layering and is made up of gold glitter and flakes, white and pink hearts, and a multitude of iridescent glitters accented by a strong iridescent pink shimmer. Shown below, as modeled by my lovely little sister, is one coat over</span> <a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/products/be-mine">Be Mine</a><span class="Apple-style-span"> and over black on accent. </span></div>

I saw "<a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/products/the-worst-possible-thing">The Worst Possible Thing</a>" from our Equestria Collection land on several Top of 2012 lists! How exciting is that! I thought that would be a good polish to start off our Mani Mondays, where I'll show you fun and exciting ways to use Rainbow Honey polishes.</div>

<i>Products used: </i>Rainbow Honey "TWPT" over A England "Order of the Garter"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>How to achieve it: </i>Start with a base coat and then 2-3 coats of Order of the Garter. For the pictured coverage, two thin coats of TWPT is what you want. Using thin coats let's you build up the glittery goodness without giving it a chunky texture. </div>

<i>How to achieve it: </i>Start with a base coat; 1 thick coat of Muse is opaque on its own, but can be a bit runny. I used two coats here and 1 coat of TWPT with on coat of "<a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/products/sakura-matsuri-15ml">Sakura Matsuri</a>" on my ring finger. </div>

<i>How to achieve it: </i>Start with a base coat; I used 2 coats of Be Mine (from our upcoming Sweet Talk Collection!) and a thin coat of TWPT. Be Mine can be a little salmon-y on some skin tones, topping it with TWPT was a great way to add more of a blue hue. </div>

<i>How to achieve it: </i>Start with a base coat; white cremes can be a bit streaky, so 2-3 coats should cover your bases. I used one thin coat of TWPT and some hand placed diamond glitter on my ring finger. Do you think Rarity would be proud? </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>How to achieve it: </i>I started with 2 coats of PMW and layered 1 coat each (i.e., FF/PMW/FF) for the top swatch. In the bottom one, I've topped it off with one more coat of PMW. Has quite a nice candy-like look!</div>

<i>Products used: </i>Rainbow Honey "<a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/products/lunairetic-15ml">Lunairetic</a>"and striping tape</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<i>How to achieve it: </i>This was my NYE look! I started with one coat of Lunairetic (it is SO blingy in the sun, so I had fun wearing it on its own for a while first) and then cut pieces of striping tape in 1-2" lengths. Starting with placing one piece along the center of the nail, and then layer the other pieces like you're slicing a pie, with all the pieces crossing each other at the base of the nail. When everything is in place, paint one coat of your favorite black polish, wait 5-10 seconds, and then peel off the tape. Easy peasy! And so cute! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this holiday season, I reflected on a piece by one of my favorite poets, T. S. Eliot, entitled "The Cultivation of Christmas Trees". While not entirely secular, there is plenty to ponder over in regards to the commercialization of holidays and the memories we should hold on to.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">T</span></b><span style="font-size: medium;">here are several attitudes towards Christmas,<br />Some of which we may disregard:<br />The social, the torpid, the patently commercial,<br />The rowdy (the pubs being open till midnight),<br />And the childish - which is not that of the child<br />For whom the candle is a star, and the gilded angel<br />Spreading its wings at the summit of the tree<br />Is not only a decoration, but an angel.</span><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">T</span></b><span style="font-size: medium;">he child wonders at the Christmas Tree:<br />Let him continue in the spirit of wonder<br />At the Feast as an event not accepted as a pretext;<br />So that the glittering rapture, the amazement<br />Of the first-remembered Christmas Tree,<br />So that the surprises, delight in new possessions<br />(Each one with its peculiar and exciting smell),<br />The expectation of the goose or turkey<br />And the expected awe on its appearance,</span><br />
<br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">S</span></b><span style="font-size: medium;">o that the reverence and the gaiety<br />May not be forgotten in later experience,<br />In the bored habituation, the fatigue, the tedium,<br />The awareness of death, the consciousness of failure,<br />Or in the piety of the convert<br />Which may be tainted with a self-conceit<br />Displeasing to God and disrespectful to children<br />(And here I remember also with gratitude<br />St.Lucy, her carol, and her crown of fire):</span><br />
<br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">S</span></b><span style="font-size: medium;">o that before the end, the eightieth Christmas<br />(By "eightieth" meaning whichever is last)<br />The accumulated memories of annual emotion<br />May be concentrated into a great joy<br />Which shall be also a great fear, as on the occasion<br />When fear came upon every soul:<br />Because the beginning shall remind us of the end<br />And the first coming of the second coming.</span></blockquote>

<span>RAHWAY, N.J.</span>, <span>Oct. 11, 2012</span> /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- <a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/" popable="true" rel="nofollow" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #336699; cursor: pointer; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Rainbow Honey Cosmetics</a>, a new and independent brand that designs and produces its own nail polishes in <span>the United States</span>, has embarked on a mission: Educate the public about dangerous chemicals in many mainstream American nail lacquers.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Why is this important? People are clueless to what's in the nail polishes they wear. "Several of the largest nail polish manufacturers in the world continue to include the big 3 chemicals in their nail polish formulas and we believe the public should carefully assess this prior to buying any of these products," says Dee, founder and Chief Designer for Rainbow Honey. "Everywhere I go I see so many children wearing brightly colored polishes on their fingers and toes. Parents are unaware of the volatile toxins their children are coming in contact with," she adds.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Rainbow Honey nail lacquer is different, <span>Pamela Hoffman</span>, DPM, explains: "It does not contain dangerous chemicals or what has been referred to as the toxic trio: Formaldehyde, Toluene and Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP). These are three very bad substances. In fact, DBP is banned in the European Union, and Formaldehyde and Toluene are strictly limited," she says. "The cosmetic industry is not regulated in the US as it is in <span>Europe</span>. The toxic trio are linked to developmental problems, asthma, damaged organs and cancer. No parent would knowingly allow a harmful chemical on or near their child or themselves."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
With this in mind, and with a nail lacquer 100% free of the "toxic trio", Rainbow Honey has taken the position to educate the public on these dangerous chemicals while offering a safe (and beautiful) alternative.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"The best part about Rainbow Honey is that without the toxic trio the polish actually dries faster, does not discolor your nails and lasts longer. And, they have some amazing swatches!"- Dr. Hoffman</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Rainbow Honey has committed to an ongoing effort to disseminate information, write articles, fund research and work with experts in the field to develop communication tools to increase awareness.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"The American public needs to know more about what is being put in its nail polishes, and when they do, we'll be able to put pressure on larger manufacturers to do what's right for the consumers," Dee concludes.</div>

I wanted to show off a manicure I sported recently! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I started off with one thin layer of <a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/products/ephemeral-15ml">Ephemeral</a> on my nails, with black on my ring finger for an accent:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-07JhC0xrIVA/UEZIUUNAtBI/AAAAAAAAAF4/FDZYDYR5WSU/s1600/fb-01208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-07JhC0xrIVA/UEZIUUNAtBI/AAAAAAAAAF4/FDZYDYR5WSU/s400/fb-01208.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I did one layer of <a href="http://www.rainbowhoney.com/products/celestia">Celestia</a> over each nail:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--Kfd8TOidJ0/UEZIVsTsLiI/AAAAAAAAAGI/jz7P9hrt9Z0/s1600/fb-01211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--Kfd8TOidJ0/UEZIVsTsLiI/AAAAAAAAAGI/jz7P9hrt9Z0/s320/fb-01211.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IWKAkbZfMq0/UEZIWbf3a2I/AAAAAAAAAGM/WE4LCHMOsIY/s1600/fb-01217.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IWKAkbZfMq0/UEZIWbf3a2I/AAAAAAAAAGM/WE4LCHMOsIY/s400/fb-01217.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Isn't the shimmer in Celestia astounding? </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, I topped it off with a matte top coat! It really makes the shimmer and flakes more visible!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a3ScsKKIAK4/UEZIXEivD6I/AAAAAAAAAGY/03yvroGy3ng/s1600/fb-01222.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a3ScsKKIAK4/UEZIXEivD6I/AAAAAAAAAGY/03yvroGy3ng/s400/fb-01222.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unsatisfied with the range of light and color in the above photo, I did the only sensible thing and made an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging">HDR composite</a> picture of my nails. How's that for color?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PAm2XiBCjEU/UEZITnh1NaI/AAAAAAAAAFw/LsYVrzeSUy0/s1600/fb-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PAm2XiBCjEU/UEZITnh1NaI/AAAAAAAAAFw/LsYVrzeSUy0/s400/fb-.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't think I like my fingers with so much dynamic range, but it was a fun idea! With Chrono Cross coming back soon, there are going to be so many more layering opportunities, so stay tuned!</div>

For those of you that have recently discovered Rainbow Honey, we attended <a href="http://www.bronycon.org/">BronyCon</a> (a convention for My Little Pony fans of all ages!) back in June and had a GREAT time! While a lot of time was spent painting nails, it was also great to chat with customers and see people experience Rainbow Honey firsthand. <i>You can click on any of the pictures below to make them larger.</i><br />

We are eagerly awaiting information on the next BronyCon - tentatively sometime during the winter months. We'll definitely be there again - come see us! I'll be sure to pass on information for the next event when it's released; you can buy MLP goodies, meet voice actors, and have a great time mingling with other MLP fans!</div>

Can you believe it's already been more than a month since the <a href="http://rainbowhoney.com/">new website</a> opened? It has literally been non-stop work on our end! Between maintaining stock and production and answering emails and questions ... time has just been slipping by!<br />
<br />
But the blog needs some dire attention! Here's a preview of what's coming up on the blog this week:<br />
<br />

What's coming to an end, you ask? <b>The Equestria Collection pre-orders! </b>Rounds 4 and 5 are slowly making their way out the door, along with some earlier orders that just recently paid. On that note, I want to remind everyone that if you have not contacted me in advance, reminders for open invoices will be sent today and tomorrow and on 6/26/12 <b>all open invoices will be canceled</b>. If you have special circumstances preventing you from paying by tomorrow, please <a href="mailto:info@rainbowhoney.com">get in touch</a> and let us know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now for the beginning of something new:</div>

If you have visited <a href="http://rainbowhoney.com/">rainbowhoney.com</a> recently, you may have noticed it no longer redirects to the blog! It may not look very exciting right now - but June 30 is around the corner and I can't wait to show you all our new website! <i>(Please note, there is NO password available and this is the only means of keeping the store closed.) </i>This <b>does</b> mean we are moving off Etsy for the time being, but I think this will be a step in the right direction for Rainbow Honey. No cart-jacking, no hold times, no constant refreshing - except maybe nearing midnight on June 29 - how many of you will be lined up to watch the opening? :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will have more information on the website, and a few sneak peeks later this week. In the meanwhile,<b> I want to invite all of you who have tried polishes from The Equestria Collection to chime in with swatches and pictures of your manicures!</b> Please <a href="mailto:info@rainbowhoney.com">email</a> any pictures you would feel comfortable sharing on the website with the subject "TEC Swatch" and let me know how many coats and if you used a base color. We will provide credit, of course, and link back to your blog if you have one. I can't promise we will use every single picture, but there will be plenty of ways to share pictures and discuss the polishes on the website once it launches! </div>

Finally, we are less than 1 week away from <a href="http://www.bronycon.org/">BronyCon at the Meadowlands Expo Center</a>! </div>

I hope you are as excited about this show as I am, we have spent a long time preparing for this and there are definitely a few surprises in store this week... </div>

Hi everyone! I'm so glad to say 95% of Round 3 is out the door. Our glitter issue with Koi Pond and The God of Destiny was certainly a curveball but replacements have been going out and shipping resumed this past weekend! Just wanted to mention that I will be auditing all the invoices sent out thus far, and <b>reminders for unpaid invoices will be sent out this week</b>. All unpaid invoices will be canceled on 6/25 <b>unless</b> you have made prior arrangements - generally done by contacting me.<br />
<br />
With that, we are also done invoicing and if you feel you were skipped over, <b>please <a href="mailto:dee@rainbowhoney.com">contact me</a> immediately!</b> There may have been a misspelling in your email address - or you may have forgotten to provide one entirely! (It happens!)<br />
<br />
<i>Round 1 Status: </i>Shipped; if you paid on time and have not received your order, please contact me. KP and TGoD replacements have also shipped.<br />
<br />
<i>Round 2 Status:</i> Shipped; if you paid on time and have not received your order, please contact me. 90% of KP and TGoD replacements have shipped, a few internationals will go out later this week.<br />
<br />
<i>Round 3 Status:</i> 95% of <i>paid invoices </i>have shipped. If you need more time to pay or would like to cancel your order, please get in touch.<br />
<br />
<i>Round 4 Status:</i> All invoices have gone out and shipping has started. If you have not received your invoice (they were sent last week) please <a href="mailto:dee@rainbowhoney.com">contact me</a>.<br />
<br />
Round 5 has been included with Round 4 for invoicing and shipping and the same status applies.<br />
<br />
All in all, it is a shipping marathon from now until the last package goes out. I'll try to keep things updated on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/rainbow.honey.cosmetics">Facebook</a>, but definitely look out for a new blog post later this week full of announcements - some of which I am very excited about! Cliff hanger? Maybe. But the week is half over already, so you won't be left waiting for too long!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680421357792174827.post-90116316961909612182012-06-11T17:22:00.000-07:002012-06-11T19:37:09.132-07:00Winners, Updates, and a Bleeding Glitter<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Round 1 Status</i> - All paid invoices shipped. If you are domestic and have not received your order, please contact me. If you are international and have not received your order by 6/21, please contact me then. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Round 2 Status</i> - All invoices paid as of 6/10 in Round 2 have shipped as of 6/11. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Round 3 Status</i> - Shipping has begun! Now, let me elaborate a bit here: while it would be <i>awesome</i> to be able to get everything out the door in a day it isn't realistic. A lot of you know how much time and care we put into packing everything up, and between that and continuing to produce the polishes you all love, well, it takes a little time. The orders have gotten smaller in comparison to the first round, so I am expecting we'll be done shipping Round 3 by the end of the week, maybe with some internationals going out over the weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Round 4 Status</i> - Invoicing has begun! Shipping will start as soon as Round 3 is out the door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Round 5 Status </i>- Invoicing for Round 5 will begin as soon as invoicing for Round 4 is over. I know this was originally scheduled to begin a week from today (6/18) so if you know you will need additional time to pay please contact me and I'm sure we will be able to work something out. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>The Tale of a Bleeding Glitter</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's talk about the kinds of glitters that go into nail polish. If you're a fan of indie polish, you've seen the term "solvent resistant" thrown around quite a lot, I imagine. What this means is that the material is resistant to the wear and tear of solvents, like the ethyl acetate and butyl acetate in nail polish. It's very much a necessary quality of any glitter we use, but it is difficult to determine just how resistant a glitter will be without testing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U9T7fozRxdU/T9aHwByAl8I/AAAAAAAAABc/6f65NcZREGE/s1600/fb-00198.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U9T7fozRxdU/T9aHwByAl8I/AAAAAAAAABc/6f65NcZREGE/s200/fb-00198.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6zM-8GFtZNI/T9aHxJWeqTI/AAAAAAAAABk/Pw0YS9-RpZs/s1600/fb-00202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6zM-8GFtZNI/T9aHxJWeqTI/AAAAAAAAABk/Pw0YS9-RpZs/s200/fb-00202.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can you tell which of these glitters is solvent resistant?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NXH9ppwLnyE/T9aHxmUs0kI/AAAAAAAAABs/3stWRtkV-ek/s1600/fb-00205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NXH9ppwLnyE/T9aHxmUs0kI/AAAAAAAAABs/3stWRtkV-ek/s320/fb-00205.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How about now? This is about 5 minutes after mixing.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-71IrNho_tXc/T9aHyEiUHxI/AAAAAAAAAB0/DxlI2tnXSnw/s1600/fb-00212.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-71IrNho_tXc/T9aHyEiUHxI/AAAAAAAAAB0/DxlI2tnXSnw/s320/fb-00212.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now? This is about an hour after mixing. What we see on the left is called a "bleeding" glitter - it is not colorfast and as such has lost its color to the solvents in the polish. Definitely something to remember before you even consider dunking that craft store glitter in some precious polish. There's a very good chance it will warp and bleed, among other things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unfortunately, one of our suppliers made the mistake of sending us this glitter on the left and having used what I thought to be the same glitter for months now we used it in several batches of Koi Pond and The God of Destiny. It's heart breaking for sure! But mistakes happen and I have already resolved the issue with my supplier and with my affected polish lovers - they will be getting replacements as soon as the correct glitter arrives! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For those of you not familiar, Koi Pond and The God of Destiny are pretty <i>awesome</i> layering polishes - that's why the clear base is essential!</div>

<b>Round 1 Status - </b>We are aiming to have Round 1 all out the door by tomorrow (Saturday, 6/2) and have been working round the clock to accomplish this. The average number of polishes per order in Round 1 was between 7 and 8 and more than half of these ordered the entire Equestria Collection! I am SO excited to be sending out so many secret polishes!<br />

We've implemented a lot of changes this week with the hopes of speeding up production and filling - some more exciting than others. For one, most of Round 1 will notice the new Rainbow Honey labels:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vd2UjMT5L6E/T8jT8kn7sRI/AAAAAAAAAH4/phZ5YqXCYDs/s1600/fb-09893.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vd2UjMT5L6E/T8jT8kn7sRI/AAAAAAAAAH4/phZ5YqXCYDs/s400/fb-09893.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Aren't they pretty? I know I'm excited about them! One step closer to my dream of foil printing on the bottles! Another change that seemed like a given at the time was outsourcing my signature boxes - that one didn't work out! I was so excited about this and in the end the mass produced boxes were just not up to my standards. So we continue to make them in house and assemble them by hand, one by one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sZSEIoeSqgY/T8jT6rwTOHI/AAAAAAAAAHo/KinZjJ_nSNw/s1600/fb-09889.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sZSEIoeSqgY/T8jT6rwTOHI/AAAAAAAAAHo/KinZjJ_nSNw/s400/fb-09889.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
And that's what's been going on around here. I look forward to feedback from those of you receiving your orders this week! And I think there was a consensus on Facebook that seeing the secret polishes will only build excitement - but some form of tagging posts or pictures with a *spoiler* alert would be appreciated. I won't be posting pictures yet, but I can tell you I am in love with both of them. Maybe I'll release the names some time next week...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Thoughts: Like in Pinkie Promise, the iridescent shimmer really pops over anything darker than the soft yellow base. No undies on everything else, just two coats. And let me tell you, for such a soft and delicate polish in the bottle it is bling-tastic in the sun! </i></div>

<i>Thoughts: Would you believe I only had one orange polish in my collection? If you find yourself thinking, "you know, I don't normally like orange polish, but..." I am right there with you! And I loved, loved, loved wearing Hoof Wrassle. Every time I looked at it I would either squee at the square glitters or guffaw at the combination of tiny red and green hex's resembling a certain cutie mark. </i></div>

<i>Emma Says: This is Rainbow Dash :) Each nail is a different part of her - her eye,
hair, wing, cutie mark, and more hair. I picked Rainbow Dash because
I’ve always loved rainbows; when I was little I would write each line of
each letter of my name with a different crayon.</i></div>

<i>Mich Says: I’ve thought really long and hard about the designs and I decided that
the only way to include all the ponies (I love them all!) is to do a
simple stripes design with all their colors. It also shows how the
colors of one pony lead nicely to that of another ;) [From thumb to
pinkie: Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy,
Applejack] The stripes are also topped with one coat of China Glaze
Fairy Dust for that extra magical sparkle! <a href="http://thepolishwell.blogspot.com/2012/05/nail-ideas-my-little-pony.html">Read more here!</a></i></div>

Here are the first three Equestria Collection polishes on my very own nails!<br />

Pinkie Promise over Illamasqua Collide</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Thoughts: The yellow/gold shimmer in this polish really comes through on anything darker than the pink base it's in, so I would prefer to layer this one over itself or lighter shades like a soft pink or white.</i></div>

20% Cooler over (L-R) Revlon Pink Chiffon, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lightening, Sally Hansen Limestone, Color Club Factory Girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Thoughts: Looks cute over bright colors! I love a matte top coat over CC Factory Girl for the true Rainbow Dash effect! See here:</i></div>

The Worst Possible Thing over Zoya Ibiza</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Thoughts: This is maybe a thicker coat than I would normally wear, but it is so complex and really difficult to stop admiring. I haven't had sunlight since putting this one on, so the pictures are in artificial light (top) and cloudy light. The macro shot is of my ring finger - doesn't it look awesome?</i></div>

My sister stole my bottle of A Little Kindness, so maybe we can expect swatches of that one soon! I'll get to wearing the other two sometime this week. And look for a special blog post tomorrow... :D</div>
