Rescue Beauty Lounge 'Chinoise'

Hi everyone~
I have been a little slow with everything (swatches/posts/commenting), but I have been so busy with school. Finals are around the corner, so I might be a little inconsistent with my posting. Also, there is a crazy amount of rallies and protests at UCD right now. The campus is in slight chaos.
But anyways, here is a super quick swatch of Chinoise~

Chinoise is a bright, lacquered red. Ji describes it as it looking like the lacquer on a painted Chinese screen, and I completely agree~

Price  and Availability
$18 on the RBL website

Formula
The consistency of the polish was great. This one is more liquidy than my other RBLs, but it wasn't too runny or difficult to work with. It spread out nicely and very easily. This is where it gets tricky. I found that one coat was not sheer, but it was sort of see through.Its hard to explain. In other words, one coat was decently pigmented, but under certain lighting I could see my nail line. You can definitely get away with one coat, but maybe two coats would be the best.The thing I liked the most was the finish. It was

Here is one coat of Chinoise on my nail. It is the only thing I have on my nails (no base coat, no top coat).
Sorry for the messy application @_@



Verdict
I'm not a huge fan of red polishes, but I received a number of compliments when I wore it yesterday. I love the brightness of it, as well as the glossy, jelly-like finish. Between my Lippmann 'Lady is a Tramp' and 'Chinoise', I would definitely choose 'Chinoise.' It is a color that will be easy to just throw on my nails and I know it will look good.

Rating: 9/10 (Negatives: see through, high price)
