I love these polishes to death. Ji (or anyone else at Rescue!), if you're reading this, I need a purple! A bold eggplant, or deep shimmery violet! I'm begging, here! I'm dying for a rich, smooth, vibrant purple shade in Rescue Beauty Lounge's amazing, dreamy, buttery formula. Please? Pretty please? Pretty please with sugar on top??
Anyway, enough dreaming and begging and on to the pictures.
Concrete Jungle. Oops, smudged this one while taking the picture. XD
Stormy. What a perfect polish. It really does look stormy!
Grunge. Really odd and unique. I'm digging this.
Under The Stars. Lovers of dark blues like OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue or MAC Naughty Nautical will love this for sure. Deep midnight blue with the perfect amount of blue shimmer.
And, this one's for Diann_co: Moxie! It's a pale white gold that looks absolutely luminous in the sunlight. Like CND Light Diffusion, but better!
I can't rave enough about how perfect this formula is. I know, I know, you're all thinking, "Scrangie, shut up already! We heard you the first five hundred times!"- but seriously! I think they put butter in this stuff! I think I've figured out the secret recipe- it's one part melted butter, one part pigment, one part glass and one part pixie dust. Or something like that...
I think the polish fumes are getting to me...
Grunge and Moxie are my two huge lemmings from RBL right now. : ( I just really wish it wasn't so expensive.
ReplyDeletethanks for the swatches!
ReplyDeleteis concrete jungle a tad blue irl? is the picture accurate...if so...I NEED IT!
Stephanie, yeah they are a bit steep, but they are the *best* of the expensive polishes. Grunge is very similar to Essie Jazz, and Moxie is similar to CND Light Diffusion and you can get those for under $4 :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'll get really lucky and win that awesome Allure contest! *crosses fingers for you*
Laura, it does lean slightly blue, but not blue enough for it to not look grey. Wow, I don't make any sense LOL. Does that make sense? I'd say that picture is really accurate, maybe slightly lighter than real life because the picture is taken in direct sunlight.
ReplyDeleteI love those greys... The color of a perfectly overcast sky, just before it rains... *dreamy sigh*
Ok, Scrangie.. Shut up already! If you continue to post RBL swatches so often I think I have to beg (or force, if begging doesn't work) for you actually buy some of them for me!
ReplyDeleteRealized that amazon.com is the only other way to get it, and it'd be around 45 dollars for ONE polish. Makes me want to cry.
But beautiful pictures, as always!
Chaosophia, LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteBut holy cow, $45 for ONE? Yikes! I can't believe Rescue doesn't ship internationally. You would think they wouldn't mine having a whole continent worth of new customers!
THANKS!! Love it! I hope to go to RBL when I am in NYC next month. I also love the formula, tho I am finding my Black Russian mani chipped the next morning (BOO HOO)
ReplyDeleteDiann_co, wow! You're so lucky! If you're able to go, you'll have to tell us how it is :)
ReplyDeleteWow do I feel privilaged! You commented on my blog n_n
ReplyDeleteOh almost forgot aout the polishes, I love the first grey and the last goldy one. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteAww, Tabe-Chan, I love your blog! Keep posting, I love reading it! :D
ReplyDeleteI like them all!
ReplyDelete"Grunge" looks so unique and a yeah, a bit odd and I think that why I really like it:)
Sanna, exactly :) It's very out of the ordinary and unexpected!
ReplyDeleteYum, polish fumes! That last one with the gold shimmer is to die for! I, myself, have never, not never, tried RBL. We don't have that fanciness here in Sweden!
ReplyDeleteRocketqueen, so I've heard! It's really a shame, I know there are a lot of people in Sweden who would love to wear Rescue Beauty Lounge! I would think having more customers would be a good thing... They should reconsider and ship internationally!
ReplyDeleteHi! Very sad again that these RBL people dont ship to the UK. I would love to have at least Dead Calm, Recycle, Grunge and Stormy, but it seems so impossible...:(
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I've seen that you own ChG Recycle, is this one a close match to RBL Stormy? Thank you!
Ana
Ana, it really is a shame!
ReplyDeleteI believe that Stephanie @ http://www.polishaddict.com has a comparison (Stormy/Recycle/Concrete Jungle I believe)
But I can definitely do a comparison picture for you if you would like!
I would say it's pretty close to Stormy. Slightly lighter. It's similar enough to not need both.
Hi, I just checked Stephanie's comparison. Funny thing is that according to that picture ChG Recycle looks actually darker than Stormy (or my PC's pixel resolution is working against me!)...So now I'm a little bit confused, hehe
ReplyDelete(Well, not that I can get a grip on Stormy anyway, so I'll have to stand by Recycle)
Thank you,
Ana
Hey Ana!
ReplyDeleteI compared the bottles side by side and they're pretty similar, but Recycle seems lighter in the bottle. But looking at those swatches again, Stormy definitely looks darker on the nail! Colors confuse me :D
Thank you for the swatches! I really like Grunge and Stormy. I might have to give in and try them. I finally was able to get some EA's and their application is great. If these are as good as you say they are, I am going to love them!
ReplyDeleteAsia12mb, they are like BUTTER. So smooth and perfect!
ReplyDeleteI have only been able to get one EA (Ulta clearance bin had a ton of the same color) and it's really a shame they're discontinued!
Believe it or not, I was able to get my order from Buynail.com. I heard of the horror stories but I gave in. I got all of the ones that I ordered except one which was Buckingham. I really think they were out. But they gave me Madison Ave Light Bronze instead which happened to be one I was considering. So instead of trying to call and change it, I just let it be. I ordered 8 in total and only the one mistake. :)
ReplyDeleteAsia12mb, lucky! The one I wanted had Cappuccino or some sort of coffee name, but they were sold out. Oh well :)
