A Rhyming Dictionary - Calvin and Hobbes Collection

Press Sample

     Here's another fabulous installment from the lovely Morgan of A Rhyming Dictionary! Morgan's the babe behind the brand and I love her to pieces. Not only does she create awesome polish, but she's one of my best polish buddies.

     AWESOME formula. This applied beautifully and was nearly opaque in one coat. I'm a two coat kind of polisher so I added an extra. I finished it off with top coat to really make it shine.

     I seriously love this. It's so flawless. In person, the holoness is much more apparent. 

Susie

     This was a breeze to apply. Two coats and no issues. A little top coat and it was good to go since it dries to a matte finish.

     This is my favorite from the collection. I don't have any holos that are like this. It's magical. 

The Transmogrifier

light blue jelly base

blue iridescent glitters

one coat over Essie Strut Your Stuff

     I found this polish to be on the sheer side, so I layered it over an opaque base. It applied smoothly and without any problems. I topped it with a bit of top coat to make it shine.

     What's cooler than being cool? This polish. Ha! That was pretty lame, but extremely accurate. It's icy and iridescent. Total wow factor.

I'm Ho-oome!

dark gray tinted base

maroon and gold flecks

tiny purple/blue/pink shimmer

I'm Ho-oome!

three coats

one coat Rica Glossy Glam

I'm Ho-oome!

      This was a bit on the sheer side. Looking at these pictures, I didn't do it justice. Next time, I'll layer it over an opaque base. I used three coats and top coat for this look.

     This was so hard to photograph. It has a beautiful pink/blue/purple shimmer. It would look great over a dark base.

Lots of Tiny Snowmen

clear base

multi colored and sized circle glitters

one dabbed on coat over China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise

one coat Rica Glossy Glam

Lots of Tiny Snowmen

      This one requires a bit of work because the base is thicker and the glitters are heavier. Once you give it a good shake and roll, it's easy to apply. I got the brush loaded up with glitter and then dabbed it on. A bit of top coat and it's finished off.

       You could use this over any base and have it look amazing. There are so many different colors that it works well with everything.

G.R.O.S.S.

clear base

white and pink holo circles

magenta squares

light pink, silver, white, and gunmetal holo hexes

tiny pink holo sparkles

G.R.O.S.S.

one coat over Zoya Rooney

one coat Rica Glossy Glam

     This has a great application with a good glitter payoff. I didn't have any problems and needed just one coat for this look. I finished it off with top coat.

G.R.O.S.S.

     My second favorite! I love this mix and the name is perfect. G.R.O.S.S stands for Get Rid Of Slimy girlS. This polish is super girly.
