Ruby White Tips Swatches and Reviews: Like Kim, But Not and Sonny the Horse at Ryerss Farm

*purchased with a blogger discount*



Ruby White Tips Like Kim, But Not (2 coats)





Ruby White Tips Sonny the Horse at Ryerss Farm (2 coats, cold)


Ruby White Tips Sonny the Horse at Ryerss Farm (2 coats, warm)

Guys, can we talk about The Bachelor for a second?! Whoa, Arie is such a dick. The whole scene was raw and emotional. My heart was breaking for Becca and I can only imagine what she's going through. Sorry, I know lots of people don't watch the show, but I just needed to get that out there! Tonight I have the second set of polishes from Ruby White Tips

A few years ago they had a polish called Kim, a nude holo named after an angry Pomeranian dog. That polish is no long available, so I assume Like Kim, But Not ($9.50) is named after that one, but with a shimmer twist. Like Kim, But Not is a warm neutral creme with silver and red shimmer. This is my perfect nude! I have yellow undertones, and I think this works really well with my skin. I think the shimmer will allow it to mesh well with cool-toned ladies and gents, too. I used 2 coats for the photos above, and it applied flawlessly. It dried with very minimal texture, and was easy to remove. 

Are you into thermals? If so, Sonny the Horse at Ryerss Farm ($10) is for you. It's a mint green creme that turns purple when cold. It transitions quickly and I love that the warm vs cold state is so striking. My apologies that my tips started to turn purple in my "warm state" photos. Like I said, it changed so quickly! If you have really short nails, you will mostly see the warm state unless you wash your hands or go outside when it's cold. I mean, it's still winter, so I'm sure you can easily find some cold weather! I used 2 coats for the photos above, and I had no issues with the formula or application. 

There you have it! Laura has a mix of colors and finishes in the shop, so there's something for everyone. My top picks are Bitch Please, I Ride a Unicorn and Sonny the Horse. You can find Ruby White Tips on their Etsy storeFacebookTwitter or Instagram pages.

Ruby White Tips is Back! Swatches and Reviews of Bitch Please, I Ride a Unicorn and Dangerous Doney

*purchased with a blogger discount*


Hi guys! I'm still nursing this illness (I'm not 100% sure what I have), but I'm slowly recovering. It seems like the plague has been worse than usual this year. Oh, guess who's back?! Whelp, I think I let the cat out of the bag with my title, but Laura from Ruby White Tips is back to making polish! You may remember her from some swatches I did a few years ago, and I'm stoked that she's back in the polish game. She just released a whopping 22 polishes back in January, and I have 4 of them to show you. I believe she is releasing a new polish every month, so keep checking her Etsy page for updated info. Let's get a closer look, shall we?

Ruby White Tips American Horror Story Swatches: Lana Winters and The Aliens




Ruby White Tips Lana Winters (3 coats)



Ruby White Tips The Aliens (2 coats)

*These polishes were purchased at a discount and I only give honest reviews*

Everyone watching the Oscars tonight? I don't get as excited as I used to back in the day. What are your feelings on them as you get older? Oh, and I really don't want to go to work this week. I have so many appointments and meetings to go to that I am just dreading it. I hope your week starts out well.

The final 2 polishes I have to show from Ruby White Tips are Lana Winters and The Aliens. Up first is Lana Winters which is an....interesting polish. When I sat down to try and figure out what color it truly was, it was hard to come up with a good description. It's a multichrome of gold, taupe and pink, but I don't think that really gives it justice. Either way, it's really a cool polish. Again, there was a slightly thick application that can easily be dealt with by using thin coats. I ended up using 3 coats, and I know you can see VNL on my ring finger, but that was just due to the lights (you couldn't see it in real life). 

And then there was The Aliens. This one was the first one I picked out when I decided to make a purchase. It's a blood red jelly base with tons of gold glitter. You know red is my least favorite color, so the fact that this was my first choice really tells you something. I think what sets this apart is that the gold glitter really stands out against the red. The formula and application was really good on this one and only needed 2 coats.

Ruby White Tips American Horror Story Collection Swatch: Murder House



Ruby White Tips Murder House (2 coats)

*These polishes were purchased at a discount and I only give honest reviews*

I have another polish to show from the American Horror Story collection and it's a blurple with pink shimmer throughout. The shimmer is much more noticeable in real life, and you can click on the photos to see them larger. I wasn't sure what I was going in for when I ordered this because sometimes it looks more purple, and sometimes it looks more blue. In the bottle it looked purple and I was a bit disappointed but the dusty blue comes out more on the nail. I was very impressed with the application of this one since it was very smooth and even in only 2 coats. So pretty!

Ruby WhiteTips American Horror Story Collection Swatches: Rubber Man Thermal Polish




Ruby White Tips Rubber Man (3 coats) Left-Cold Right-Warm


*These polishes were purchased at a discount and I only give honest reviews*

Hi guys, I hope you are gearing up for a great weekend. I have no idea what is in store for me, but hopefully it is relaxing. I have a few more polishes from the Ruby White Tips brand. All of them come from the American Horror Story collection, and I have to be honest, I don't watch the show. My husband isn't a huge fan of horror, so you can imagine he doesn't like this show. Anyway, I have no idea what Rubber Man references, but it's an awesome jelly thermal polish that changes from a deep brown when cold and a reddish brown when warm. You can also get this one with or without glitter; of course I had to get glitter. I found the formula to be a bit thick, but that is the norm for indies since they have to keep the glitter suspended. I added a couple drops of thinner and I was good to go. I used three coats just because it's a jelly, but since the ends of my nails are always cold, they were dark brown and you couldn't see VLN anyway!

Ruby White Tips Polish Swatch: Ashley Rose Thermal Polish



Ashley Rose Warm Hands (2 coats)


Ashley Rose Cold Hands (2 coats)

*press sample*

Ashley Rose is the last polish I have to show, and I was shocked to find out this was a thermal polish. It doesn't say it on the bottle, and Laura was nice enough to throw this one in with my order so I didn't know what I was getting in to. When your hands are warm, the polish a blue holographic, but put your hands under some cold water and you can see it instantly change to a purple color which matches the bottle color. I noticed when I first took a picture of it, I thought to myself, "Man, this really looks different than the bottle color. Usually it's just a little darker, not a different color!" It was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't able to capture it with my tips purple and my nail beds blue unfortunately. This had a great formula and application with only 2 coats.

Ruby White Tips Polish Swatches: 7 Premiere and Jane's Lemming




Ruby White Tips 7 Premiere (2 coats)



 Ruby White Tips Jane's Lemming (2 coats) 

*These polishes were purchased at a discount and I only give honest reviews*

I've just been sitting here watching the Grammy's and being a bit bored. Man, some of these singers can't sing and it's so disappointing. Anyway, I have 2 more swatches from Ruby White Tips to show with 7 Premiere up first. I thought this was going to be one of my favorites, but it ended up being my least favorite. There's nothing wrong with it per se; I just expected to see more of a duochrome than I did based on the description. It's a pink color with blue duochrome, but they claimed to see up to 7 different colors. I think maybe there's some orange in there as well? There's nothing wrong with it, it just wasn't my favorite. The formula and application was slightly thick, but manageable. 

Jane's Lemming is just gorgeous. It's a very work friendly polish that packs a punch with the abundance of blue shimmer in the taupe base. I showed my mom this one, and she was shocked when I moved the bottle around and showed her the shimmer. I think this one is very special. It also had the best application out of all the polishes with only 2 coats. I only have one more polish to show tomorrow :-(

Ruby White Tips American Horror Story Collection Swatches: Normal People Scare Me and Don't Make Me Drop a House On You




Ruby White Tips Normal People Scare Me (2 coats)



Ruby White Tips Don't Make Me Drop a House On You (2 coats) over Normal People Scare Me

*press samples*

Are you a fan of the show American Horror Story? If so, you definitely need to check out the brand new collection that came out today from Ruby White Tips. The first one is called Normal People Scare Me and it's a bit of a duochrome shimmer with purple that shifts to pink. I think this is so beautiful! I was also really impressed with the formula which was smooth in only 2 coats. 

When I first saw the glitter topcoat called Don't Make Me Drop a House On You I thought it was going to be a bit of a snooze. I think this is my favorite of all time! It has silver holographic glitter in different sizes with fuchsia in there as well. I got multiple compliments with this combination since it stands out so much. It reminds me of a princess and I loved it. I was also worried it was going to be really thick which happens sometimes with indie companies. Nope, not here, I used 2 coats due to the fact that I wanted more bling, but 1 coat could definitely be enough since it is glitter dense.

Ruby White Tips Breaking Bad Collection Swatch: Better Call Saul





Ruby White Tips Better Call Saul (2 coats)

*These polishes were purchased at a discount and I only give honest reviews*

I believe this is the last of the Breaking Bad collection swatches I have to show and it's called Better Call Saul. When I first read this, I thought it was from Homeland since they both have a Saul. I actually embarrassed to say I couldn't get into Breaking Bad because it was so dark and depressing. Maybe someday I'll get around to watching them all. Anyway, Better Call Saul is a multichrome of silver/white, pink and blue depending on the angle with a pearlescent finish. This one is pretty awesome, too. I wasn't sure what to expect from the brand since this is my first time trying them, and I am so impressed. The formula was a bit thick, but nothing unmanageable. You also have to be careful of brushstrokes; just look at my ring finger. Oops! Either way, this is still a great polish that I'd recommend.

Ruby White Tips Breaking Bad Collection Swatches: Hell Yeah Science and An Ocean Full of It




Ruby White Tips Hell Yeah Science (2 coats)



Ruby White Tips (3 coats)

*These polishes were purchased at a discount and I only give honest reviews*

Have you heard of Ruby White Tips on Etsy? Well, if not, get on over there to pick up some beautiful polishes such as the ones I'll be showing you today (and in the coming days). Up first is Hell Yeah Science, which, as a scientist, I just had to have even if it were an ugly color (which it isn't). It's a dusty purple plum with a nice scattering of holo glitter thrown in. It's not a full on linear polish, but that's fine with me; it seems like a lot of indie brands are doing that these days. The formula was great and only needed 2 coats for full coverage. It may be slightly thicker than the normal China Glaze or OPI, but that's just something to expect from indie brands due to the bases they have to use. 

The second polish is my love. It's called An Ocean Full of It and is a duochrome of blue and green, just like water. Oh, and in some views, the gold really stands out as well. This one was a little sheerer and needed 3 coats for me, but you could definitely get away with only using 2. Since I've studied oceans and lakes for my research, this one really hit home and made me love it even more. You can find them on their Etsy store, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram @rubywhitetips.
