Rescue Beauty Lounge 'Iconoclast'

Here is one of my other RBL polishes which I also did not swatch for you guys. Fortunately for you guys, this color is still available :)

Price and Availability
$18 on the Rescue Beauty Lounge Website
It might be a little too expensive for some people, but I think its better if you buy one AMAZING polish for $18 instead of a bunch of crappy ones. I purchased this with my own money, and I do not regret it.

Iconoclast
From Dictionary.com:
[ahy-kon-uh-klast]–noun

1.a breaker or destroyer of images, especially those set up for religious veneration.
2.a person who attacks cherished beliefs, traditional institutions, etc., as being based on error or superstition.


Is an ebony creme, with very fine multi-colored shimmer. The shimmer is super fine, and very subtle. In certain light the shimmers are prominent.

Formula
Like Insouciant, this is very pigmented, and you almost only need one coat. I again applied 2 coats for the purpose of photographing it, but if I was going to wear this I would only use one coat. And like Insouciant, I feel that the coats take a little long to dry. It confuses me because the polish is not thick at all, so it should not take that long to dry. But maybe, I am just really impatient!!



Can you see the shimmer? Preeeeetty ♥

Verdict
I love this color because I love black nail polish. My obsession with polishes started with black nail polish, so this is a very nostalgic color. But the fine shimmer makes this different. My only complaint is that I wish the shimmer was a little more prominent because it can be almost undetectable in some lighting/angles. But overall, another great polish from RBL! I am very excited to buy more colors from RBL, but I am waiting for the RBL pre-fall collection. You can check out swatches of the collection at All Lacquered Up. She has beautiful swatches~
