As many of you know, Rescue Beauty Lounge recently had an insane 50% off sale for 1 day only and of COURSE I took advantage of this! I wound up with 8 colors that I have been coveting for some time now and I am showing you half of them now, half later. Enjoy!

Grunge

Grunge I wanted not only because of the cool name, but also because it looked like one of those weird taupe-y mushroom-y colors I so love. When I first saw it in person though I was disappointed. It looked so pale and sheer. BUT once I got to the third coat and saw it outside it knocked me socks off! It DOES have very subtle shimmer, which I really like. The color reminds me of those no-nonsense nurse type loafers old ladies wear and somehow that does NOT turn me off, which goes to show how great RBL is!

Here is my second installation of my Zoya exchange haul. These colors were all awesome in their own way and I am super happy to own them. No application problems with any. Why? Because Zoya rocks!

Oh and I know I said no more words on the pics, but these are old which is why they are on there. Sorry for the wishy-washiness!

Charisma is really one you MUST see in person to believe. This is officially now my favorite pink ever. In the bottle it looked like a watery bright purple and I was sure I would hate it. What came out was a stunning bright blue based fuchsia that is so mesmerizing! Granted, it is sheer at first and jelly like so I needed a good three coats. Plus it’s dull and flat with no top coat, so I used a top coat here to shine it up for you and show it’s true potential. Amazing, right?

BB Couture has some really great new colors out and I think everyone can find at least one or two that they will like! I’m still DYING to see the new greens which should be coming out soon also and will keep you posted on those. For these pics I went in order of my least favorite to most favorite. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Catalina Cutie was my least favorite of the bunch because coral just doesn’t look good on me (clothing, lipstick, nails, etc.). However the color itself is really pretty in general. Like I said the base is coral and the jelly finish is infused with tiny green and gold glitter particles. It’s a wee bit sheer, this is three coats and you can still see my nails underneath.

Even though it’s still winter for about 7 more weeks and then we have 3 months of spring to get through, I cannot resist showing you China Glaze’s Summer 2009 collection called Summer Days. It makes me JONES for the balmy hot days of summer. I want to BBQ and eat out side and drink cool lemonade in my backyard while my cats run around after birds….Ahhhhh summer. This collection is really great and features China Glaze’s “famous” jelly-like glass flecked effect, which is so unique and fabulous. As usual the polish was great and I had no application issues of any kind. Pics taken in sun & shade with no top coat.

Happy Hump Day Vampies! So today I decided to post a bunch of drugstore polishes I recently came across that looked decent. Normally I am not a huge fan of “cheaper” polishes (I am such a makeup snob) but the colors on these were too good to pass up! This will be part 1 of 2 posts since I got so many this time around! All pics taken in sunlight with no top coat.
