Hello lovelies,

I've gotten a chance to review two Rainbow Connection store exclusive polishes. They are both from quite well-known indie brands - Polish Addict and Smitten Polish.

Rainbow Connection Exclusives: Polish Addict Rainbow Connection and Smitten Polish Birds of Paradise

Polish Addict Rainbow Connection - grey creme base filled with multi-coloured glitter. The grey base is quite warm with purple undertones and the rainbow colour glitter in it looks so much fun! The formula was good and easy to apply with the right amount of glitter. The polish dried fast but slightly gritty so I needed thick layer of topcoat (I've used Seche Vite).

Smitten Polish Birds of Paradise - red orange jelly base with gold, white, rose pink glitter. The jelly base is very sheer and it would take at least three thick coats to build up good coverage so I have layered it over similar shade, Barielle Orange Parfait. It applied well and I was also happy with the amount of glitter. Again, I needed a thicker layer of topcoat.

As I said above, both of them are exclusives for UK nail polish store Rainbow Connection but there are more!

Hello lovelies,

Now it's the time for the last and the most beautiful polish from the I Love Nail Polish Ultra Chrome collection - Cygnus Loop. I am mesmerised by this polish, it is amazing and a total chameleon. It is not completely unique but it is simply stunning.

Cygnus Loop is a purple base changing into dark purple, blue, burnt orange and underwater there are additionally gold and green gold shades. It is well pigmented so two coats will be enough for full coverage. in this case I have applied one coat over black. The polish is slightly streaky but it's not that visible unless in the direct sunlight.
