Rescue Beauty Lounge Scrangie

RBL Scrangie. Three coats. Perfect formula. One of my favorite polishes and it is even Mr. Janimal's favorite. I just wore it for our anniversary. :)

Rescue Beauty Lounge Piu Mosso

 

RBL Piu Mosso. Dark blue with copper orange shimmer. This is from the Firebird collection. The shimmer really comes to life in direct sunlight. I love it! Two coats and very pigmented. The formula was great.

One coat of NYX Girls Under The Moon over Piu Mosso.

CND Pink Wishes

Pink Wishes. Milky pink creme. It was a bit sheer for me so this is four coats. I want to say they were going for a jellyish look since the formula is not what I've come to expect from them. It was patchy at first, but evened out after the four coats.

Pink Wishes Pearl. Pink pearl topcoat. One coat over Pink Wishes. It reminds me of Violet Shimmer. I should note that this set is limited edition. It is very nice and subtle. The effect gives you that extra something if the Pink Wishes color is a bit plain for you.

A comparison of a few pinks that I own. Pinky (left) and ring are CND Pink Wishes. Ring is Rescue Beauty Lounge Lulu and index is Essie Pop Art Pink. This was four coats on all of them.

Rescue Beauty Lounge Purple Haze and Clarins 230

Rescue Beauty Lounge Purple Haze. Lilac purple creme. Two coats and the formula is perfection! One of my favorite purple cremes.

Clarins 230. I layered two coats over RBL Purple Haze. When I first became a nail polish fanatic, I thought I would never get my hands on this baby. Ebay prices were crazzzzzy and few and far between. Auctions would end on an upwards of $250!! Some time later a secret unicorn warehouse was unearthed and I finally was able to attain it. It really is everything I thought it would be. Rainbow in a bottle!

One coat of Lynnderella Love Potion No 99 over 230 and Purple Haze.

Purple Haze is a dusty purple creme and quite possibly my favorite purple. This is 2 coats and application was creamy and smooth. I know this is short but it is absolute perfection! :)

Rescue Beauty Lounge Chinoise

Rescue Beauty Lounge Chinoise

This is the first time I've ever worn a red nail polish! At first I didn't even recognize my own hands but I think I've grown to like this one very much. I love how bright and vibrant this is. Chinoise is the perfect ripe tomato red with no application issues. It practically applies itself! I used two coats and if you look closely enough you can still see some nail line but I was satisfied enough with two to opt out for a third coat.

Absolutely Alice, of course you can get a Grape Pop if you're as Mad As a Hatter!

Yeah, you're probably wondering, 'WTH did you do to your nails?' Well, the truth is I got these 3 colors on the same day and couldn't decide which to use first. I wanted to use them all at the same time, but didn't want to do skittles. So, I thought, why not do something a bit more creative? I was initially going to do a funky french, but remembered that I suck at doing even lines. So I settled on this idea. It actually looked a lot neater in my head. But the truth is, I LOVE the combination of glitter and cremes. Of course it does help that both Mad as a Hatter and Absolutely Alice are gorgeous!



And here was my NOTD from before the experimental craziness. RBL's Starfish Patrick. I have to say, I wasn't too thrilled with the formula/application on this one. I do love the way it looks against my skin tone. But the fact is I used 3 coats here on top of RBL's base coat (my HG). It's shiny enough, but the polish itself, unlike most RBL polishes was lacking in the opacity department. A lot of the RBL polishes I own are one to two coaters for no VNL. But I've found that Square Pants and Starfish Patrick (pictured below) need more coats to get an even opaque color. And even then, with 3 coats you can still sort of see my nail line.


Overall, still a gorgeous color in my opinion. It reminds me of cantaloupes and summer! I'm not at all ashamed to admit that a woman of my age with 3 kids was drawn to colors like these. Yes, I did join in on the Alice in Wonderland craze and yes I did buy the Spongebob and Patrick RBLs cause I thought my kids would get a kick out of them. But the truth is, all that aside, the nail polishes are still wonderful and I probably would have gotten them regardless. Until next time, thanks for looking and have a great day! :D
