Rainbow Honey Schrammi

**PR sample provided by company representative**

I was sent the full Rainbow Honey Summer Fab Collection set of three mini bottles for review.  As always, the packaging showed Rainbow Honey's trademark attention to detail.  The pictures below are blurry, but I wanted you to see the pretty packaging:

 

 
 
Here are some photos of the mini polishes:

 


This photo is the sharpest of all the ones I took, and it shows the gold shimmer in the green and coral polishes, and it shows the crazy bling and holo in the glitter topper polish.
 





The mini bottles hold a lot of polish at 4 ml each.  I just topped a mani with Costa Del Sol, and I used maybe one-tenth of the bottle or less.  By making the mini bottles tall like this, the brushes can be relatively long and longer-handled than in most other mini bottles I have used, and that makes application easier.
 
I had nothing like any of these polishes in my collection of more than 365 polishes.
 
On to Schrammi:
 
Schrammi is a pinkish coral polish with a golden shimmer.  If you have a Cuban background, it might remind you of a mamey shake.  It is truly lovely.  Also, the color looks really flattering against my pale skin tone.  The golden shimmer just puts the polish over the top.  The golden shimmer is also subtle, and the polish as a whole looks classy, so it's work appropriate, but it's a lively, bright color and perfect for summer.  All Rainbow Honey polishes are works of art to me, Schrammi definitely included. 
 
I had no application issues.  I think I used two coats, but I can't remember for sure.  I know I used Seche Vite top coat as I wanted the mani super shiny, and Schrammi wasn't shiny enough for me on its own.  I think I got minor shrinkage from the Seche Vite, but I took the pictures after some days of wear, so a lot of what you see is tip wear.  I had no chips or other problems, and cleanup and removal was easy.
 
I wasn't able to fully capture the golden shimmer, but here are some photos taken in sunlight:
 
This is the color the polish appears most of the time, especially from a distance and in the light.

The Rainbow Honey Summer Fab Collection is available at Fab.com for $25 for three full-size 15 ml bottles.  These polishes are fun in a bottle, and I highly recommend buying this set!

  1. Just like Tenda, I love those little gold shimmer flecks. Gorgeous. I was surprise when I liked a similar shade (without the flecks) of Barry M Gelly polish, it's not a colour I would normally buy, but I did and loved it.

    1. I love the Barry M's on you! Too bad they are not sold at our local pharmacies.
