In a previous post here, I wrote about being surprised to receive the entire Robot Collection to review, and I reviewed the groovy matte glitter top coat Yoshimi worn over Femme Bot. I also reviewed Femme Bot by itself here, and I reviewed Skyward Bot by itself here, and I reviewed Lucky Bot by itself here, and I reviewed Dusty Bot by itself here. This is my last review of the collection. All the colors in the collection are really pretty. They are spring-like, but just a little edgy, so not the routine overdone pastel cream-finish spring colors. To me they seem like chrome polishes, and I never got around to buying any of the drugstore (Essie) chrome polishes, and these colors are prettier in my opinion, too, so I am very happy because I finally have chrome-like polishes. The polishes are made with aluminum flakes, which, according to Rainbow Honey's website, makes "the metallic lacquers of the Robot Collection simultaneously sparkly, reflective and smooth." The finish on Bitty Love Bot, a pale greenish blue metallic polish, is definitely both reflective like a foil and also sparkly, especially in sunlight, and the finish is definitely smooth.
The formula on Femme Bot, the pink metallic and the first of the "Robots" that I tried, had been excellent, and that polish had been a one-coater. I was expecting Skyward Bot, the second "Robot" I tried, to have the same formula and had hoped it would also be a one-coater, but I had problems with application. Luckily (pun intended), Lucky Bot was a one-coater like Femme Bot, and Dusty Bot was also a one-coater and very pretty with a very obvious chrome-like effect, and the final polish in the collection, Bitty Love Bot, was also a one-coater. I still think Femme Bot had the best formula of the bunch, but only Skyward Bot gave me any trouble. Bitty Love Bot wore well for a week (although I did get a minor chip or two) and removal was easy.

Thank you for reading my blog!
Another one I love! I wonder if RH actually ship to UK?
ReplyDeleteI would say ask about it on the Rainbow Honey Facebook page to see if anyone else from the UK has ordered from the retail partners. Otherwise you will have to check out the websites of the retail partners one by one. Might want to do that anyway to compare cost and shipping fees.
