Pink Wednesday! Honeybee Gardens Goddess!

This week I want to tell you about a company called Honeybee Gardens. They are a local company to me, based in West Reading, Pennsylvania. Honeybee Gardens makes a line of cosmetics, including nail polishes, that are made from all natural ingredients. I was really curious about their nail polish because it is water-based and free from any chemical odors. It also does NOT require nail polish remover! Honeybee Gardens does have a special acetone free nail polish remover that you can use, but rubbing alcohol or vodka/grain alcohol also does the trick! They were nice enough to send me Goddess to review as well as a bottle of their polish remover. I am intrigued by this company and I really hope you will check them out!

They reuse and recycle as much as possible and never test their products on animals. You can find their products in health food stores, pharmacies, etailers, herbal shops, specialty and gift stores.

Pink Wednesday! China Glaze Exceptionally Gifted with Oxidized Aqua!


This ^ is how I have been feeling about Pink Wednesday lately. I am debating if I want to continue with this blogger tradition. I am honestly not a fan of pink nail polish. I also don't like to feel directed or influenced with my blog. I just want to have fun with this, and I simply dread Pink Wednesday. So I hope you understand, and won't mind if I choose not to participate in Pink Wednesday anymore (or not as often). 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This week I chose China Glaze Exceptionally Gifted. I expected this to me more of a metallic-like polish, but it ended up to be a frost. I only needed 2 coats, but I didn't like how the brush left marks in the polish. 

2 coats, with Orly Sec' N Dry top coat, artificial light, no flash...




As you can see here, brush marks!

I then added Oxidized Aqua. I applied diagonal brush strokes for a different effect. I ended up with what I would consider a "Crackle Fail". Not sure what went wrong, I am thinking my coats weren't thick enough. I have never had a problem with OPI or China Glaze Shatter/Crackle before. I do like the contrast between these two colors though!

With top coat, artificial light, no flash...




I love the way Shatter/Crackle looks up close!
