Hello everyone!
Have you heard of the buzz surrounding the Rescue Beauty Lounge Fan Collection? It's been all the rave since the pre-order event. I was lucky enough to have ordered during the pre-order so I just received my nail polishes today. The collection had four polishes and I purchased three: Halcyon, Aqua Lily, and IKB:2012. The one I had to wear first was Halcyon! So here are some not so great swatches and a mini review. For future reference, I posted swatches on my FB page, and I am sure the other two colors will pop up there first as well, so check it out if you haven't yet.
These polishes are already on sale for a limited time on the RBL site. They are $20 each (price was increased slightly). They are still cheaper than Chanel polishes and much better quality!
I love RBL polishes. They are my favorite expensive polishes and I treasure each and every one of them. I was so excited for this collection and now I finally have it. Halcyon is a murky sage green with pink micro-glitter (it actually reminds me of a nail polish version of VDC's The Fett eyeshadow). The formula was fantastic. One coat was decently pigmented, and two coats gives a complete opaque coverage. The two coats dried fairly quickly and it dried to a semi-glossy finish. I suggest using a top coat for optimum glossiness.
I am very happy with this color, but I wish that the either the pink shimmer was more pronounced or that the polish had something else to make it more complex. I appreciate the subtlety of the pink shimmer, but I also want to see more of it. Other than that, it is a gorgeous shade and I am very glad I bought it.
