I FINALLY got my Rescue Beauty colors after having ordered them 3-4 weeks ago!

Removing it was a cinch, I was very surprised because normally I scrub and scrub to remove them and it wreaks havoc on my cuticles. All pics taken sun in with no top coat.

I had not a single issue with cuticle drag, sheerness or bubbles. I have to say, the ones I am showing today are not my favs of this collection, those come in Part 2. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Sand In My Suit actually turned out to be nicer on me than I would have thought. The color is like a golden beige with gold shimmer and for a neutral color, I actually really liked it. I think it could work on either fair or dark skin tones. This was three coats to get it completely opaque.

Today I am excited to give you a preview of Deborah Lippmann’s new color coming out in June called Marquee Moon. It’s a gunmetal silver with huge chunks of sequins in it!!! Yes, I said sequins NOT glitter!! The Lippmann team paired up with the Rodarte designers to come up with this fabulous concoction, which was worn last month at their fall 2009 show. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
