Rescue Beauty Lounge - Aqua Lily

Finally tried one of my RBL's! Aqua Lily from the fan collection. It's a gorgeous turquoise w. subtle pink shimmer. I did not find that it was invisible, but definitely a hidden shimmer. In the sun I had no problems seeing it. In dim light I could still see it but it appeared more like a pretty pink sheen, if that makes sense. Loved it in all lighting though :) Worth $20? Idk, I feel I have similar shades (Jesse's Girl Mermaid's Lagoon & ChG Custom Kicks come to mind.. neither are dupes though!) but I am happy I got this. The formula & wear are very nice.  *It IS coming back I've read!*

3 coats

PS. Thoughts on the new collection? I'm surprised to see a pretty cold response to it in general. I really like it.. though with the price hike (why?) & outrageous shipping I'm still debating if I will order any. 

ORLY - Glowstick

Addicted to neons right now! Glowstick is an awesome Hi-lighter yellow jelly. SOO super neon. I recommend getting this under some florescent lights. I had this on at walmart and I about died when I saw it. Insanely bright. I am not one to put a white under my neons but this might be one that needs it. The pictures are @ 4 thick coats and my uneven nail beds are very noticeable.  ;)

Essie - Swing Velvet

Hi! This is an oldie, not sure when it came out but I think much earlier last decade from what I can see. Still, had never seen it before. I would call it a metallic-y plummy red. In low light it really just looks like a burgundy wine color.. but when you get it in the sun you can really see its gorgeous purpley flash. It really does look like velvet! My camera just failed to pick that up. On me, this is definitely one of the most flattering shades I own so I love it intensely!

3 coats, 2 was probably fine though!

Picture it a bit more like this tho :

BTOUCH - Good Evening

    Hi! Today I have one of the polishes from my bday haul I couldn't wait to try! BTOUCH Good Evening. Not sure if this is a newish brand or not. Can't seem to find much about it. Good Evening is a beauty though, a metallic charcoal loadedddd with micro holo glitter. The pictures don't really do this one justice. The glitter really dances! I used 3 coats that dried a bit gritty so I topped it with a coat of Gelous before using my Seche Vite. It dried rock hard super fast and wore great.

Need to get back to the supply shop to see what else BTOUCH has. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Bday Haul!

Hi! Quick post to show you the polish goodies I got for my bday week! My boyfriend took me to Philly for the day so I figured it was a good time to check out a nail supply. It was definitely the polish heaven I was looking for .. walls of OPI, China Glaze, Essie, Orly, Misa and more.. unfortunately it felt like hell. Was about 100 degrees in there and there were boxes 10 ft high covering most of it! WTH! Oh well, even not being able to see half the crap I still managed to buy about 10 polishes. Sweat was dripping off my face when I was bending down to read the shelves lol. Just a mess! I also had about 8 people staring at me bc I was getting in their way I guess. So I didn't take any pics of the store :( Sorry for the lack of obstructed by box polish shelves. Would have really made this post complete! Next time.

DL's- Private Dancer, Let's Hear it for the Boy, Dancing in the Sheets. Chanel Frisson, & Graphite. (first Chanels!!)

Sidenote: got Let's Hear it for the Boy & Dancing in the Sheets for $9.95 off hsn.com. Looks like that set is sold out now but this one is still available. $5 each for DL's?! Crazy deal.
