First Rescue Beauty Lounge polish!

I’ve always drooled over RBL polishes and finally decided to order four. They came wonderfully packaged and I think they are awesome! I’m not swatching them, because they deserve more attention than that (If they’re gonna cost two digits, they better get it!)

The first one I tried was…

Iconoclast!

It’s a black, but it’s “my” little black dress. It’s not just any black. It’s black WITH shimmer. And it looks to have some navy, or blue pigments in it or maybe that’s just the shimmer and my wishful thinking.

Holla.

It keeps giving off a bluish glare anywhere I am. It’s not just because this picture is at my nail spot, which is right next to a window. That’s why I think it’s midnight blue 🙂

See the blue shimmer I’m talking about?

Formula was GREAT. You’re looking at ONE COATED nails. I usually have Polish OCD that makes me put on two coats, but I want to savor every bit of my RBL polishes so I let it go at one coat 🙂 I also did not apply top coat, they were pretty quick drying-to-the-touch but required a whole day of curing

I ended up destroying this when I was going through more boxes. 😦 I can’t wait to open up the other 3 bottles I ordered, though!

Sparkles

I encourage you to click ’em to make ’em bigger. I’m starting a new system of linking back to my Flickr account, because Picasa washes out my pictures and makes me pout and frown.

Awesome huh?

The base is Color Club Where’s the Soiree? The version of this color that I have, is a simple black creme. It is topped with Orly Prisma Gloss Silver an amazing holographic topcoat. It is AMAZING let me reiterate!! I want to have babies with it.
I taped off the ends for a funky french. It was so rock star. I told Shauna that she had to have this polish, and these pictures are why!

Here’s a closeup/blurry shot to show the SPARKLES.

mmmm. Sparkles.

Across the Universe in a Week!

After sporting my Lippmann polish today, I realized a very important thing….

I have amassed eight Deborah Lippmann polishes. (I was also an idiot and told my nail fanatic friend that I had seven, but it’s eight. Because I didn’t count today.) So naturally, I promptly declared, on Beej’s Nails, today to be the start of

Deborah Lippmann Week!(and a day)

To kick off this week, we have Across the Universe standing in the front of the polish line! Look– isn’t she proud to be first?

Gorgeous, gorgeous blue and green hexagonal glitter suspended in a sea of black jelly with slight duo-chromatic shimmer. 

Hell yes.

 Just showing off my engagement ring. hee!

My camera is kinda poopoo, so if you google this you will see a hella lot better swatch photos. After wearing it all day today, I had to matte it down of course (and plus a new matte topcoat came in, Butter London’s and I think I love it.)

Isn’t it awesome? It really brings out the glitter and sparkles.

Stay tuned for tomorrow! We’ll be featuring the lovely lady, Razzle Dazzle.

A Challenge From Nick

Create a manicure based on this!

Challenge accepted, I said:

Here it is! 😉 But to keep the authenticity of the inspiration, I mattified it all down and the final product (viz., what I have on my nails now) would be this:

Base: Orly Cashmere Cardigan (it pulls too blue in this picture though, it’s a lot more periwinkle and purpley)
Black: Color Club Where’s the Soiree? freehanded
Stamp: Konad M64 with Icing by Claire’s Sterling Silver
