Rescue Beauty Lounge - Anne

Anne is one of the Tudor fall collection from Rescue Beauty Lounge. Anne is a murky green shimmer with bits of purple sparkle in it. In the bottle I loved it.
Yep, another RBL bottle photo where I had to use flash, and it still doesn't look right.
Basecoat: Salon Sciences Instant Artificals (1 coat)
Color: Rescue Beauty Lounge Anne (3 coats)
Topcoat: Seche Vite (1 coat)

I always heard that Seche plays really well with RBL, but this is the second time where I've had the opposite experience. I used a brand new bottle of Seche for this mani and I still had shrink before I even went to bed. When I got up the next morning it still felt dentable.

And, I just don't like the color. I love it in the bottle but when it's on my nails I just wasn't thrilled with it. I'll keep it anyway because I'm a Tudor history buff, but... I probably won't wear this again.

Rescue Beauty Lounge - Catherine

Catherine is a purple-ish shimmer with fine purple and blue sparkle. It is one of the Tudor collection, so of course I had to have all four.
For some reason, I always end up having to take RBL bottle photos with flash. This particular polish is a lot lighter in color than it appears in this photo.

Basecoat: Salon Sciences Fiberglass Network (2 coats)
Color: Rescue Beauty Lounge Catherine (3 coats)
Topcoat: David (1 coat)

Application was very nice. Catherine is a little thicker than Scrangie and I had a little trouble with streakiness. The shimmer and sparkle is pretty subtle. I was attending a conference the day I wore this, and in the indirect lighting they used for the meeting rooms, it just looked purple-gray. Still, this is a really pretty polish, and I'm definitely going to wear it again.

Rescue Beauty Lounge - Scrangie

Scrangie is a blue-purple shimmer with a teal flash to it.
This is the first RBL I've tried - besides this one I own the Tudor collection and Chinoise.

Basecoat: NailTek Foundation II (2 coats)
Color: Rescue Beauty Lounge Scrangie (3 coats)
Topcoat: David (1 coat)

I had some bubbling but I think it might have been because I was in a HUGE hurry while applying this. Application was fantastic.
