Time for swatches!
Holy cow... I've been gone for so long! But I'm back. And I swatched for 2 hours this morning to get these done for you all :) The formula of them all is very runny (compared to OPI) but goes on great! They weren't streaky at all! Here are my 8 Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes:Scrangie
Gorgeous! This is the only shimmer polish that I ordered from RBL. It is part of the "Blogger Writer's" collection. A purple with tiny green (maybe turquoise) sparkles. I'm sure glad I ordered it when I did because it's not currently available on the website. This is 3 coats.Dead Calm
This polish went on in 1 coat. This will be my go-to polish when I'm in a hurry and need to paint my nails! It is a dark, dark blue. Teal
Hmmm? Hard to explain. I'd say RBL "Teal" is to the color teal as the color navy is to the color blue. Did you get that? Haha. That statement just reminded me of those dumb standardized tests we had to take in elementary school. Anyways, if "Teal" is actually teal, it is a VERY dark teal. This was 2 coats. No More War
You either love it, or you hate it. I, in fact, love it :) As you can see, it is an olive green. Totally unique. This was 2 coats. Recycle
Another one that I love. I don't think I've ever seen a green that I didn't like, though. This is a true green creme. Again, 2 coats. Chinoise
Wow this color is bright! Yes, it is just a red... but it is so vibrant! This picture doesn't do this polish any justice. You really need to see Chinoise in person! This is 2 coats. Drifter
I looooooooove Drifter. I would call this a "wine" red. A dark, plumy, burgundy-ish red. Another 2 coater :)Frugalista
After I applied the first coat, I thought "There's no way I'm going to get this glitter to completely cover my nail"... Well, I did! This is actually 4 coats but 3 would have been sufficient. My camera really picked up on the bare spots so I added a 4th coat to make my nails photograph better. However, to the plain eye, 3 coats was plenty of polish! Here is a shot in the sun...
I wish you could see how much it shines. It is almost blinding! I wasn't sure I wanted a glitter polish when I was choosing the colors for my order. I'm glad I got it... I'm really happy with the glitter. I'm happy with ALL of my Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes! They are amazing... and didn't even need a topcoat!

WoW! What else to say :)
Oh my! They all look great on you. Teal is my favorite and yes, I knew what you meant with the description. =)
Wow, I like these glittery ones. Maybe top of the tip (or nail ;))?

Nihrida- I'm glad you understood! It is hard to describe that one!
Those all look so gorgeous!
Gorgeous, just got mine today! Wearing Killa Red...its awesome!
Ahh I love the Scrangie one. I tried to get hold of it but they wanted to charge me $45 shipping for 1 bottle of polish... :(
It looks utterly fabulous on you!
Lau- Oh my gosh! $45 is ridiculous, especially for such a tiny bottle! I definitely wouldn't spend that much on it...
I got Drifter too, and I love it. I love it hard. I think next time there's a sale I'll pick up Chinoise, too. I have No More War, but I haven't tried it yet...it looks great on you!
When the sale was on, I wish I could have seen into the future to catch your swatch of Frugalista- I had been on the fence about it, (other swatches were meh-) so I didn't get it, but I see your swatch, and now I seriously have a lemming. RBL rocks.
Stephanie- Thank you :)
ReaderRita- I was on the fence about buying Frugalista too! I'm glad I did! And like I mentioned in my post, the pictures don't show how shiny the glitter is! It is ridiculously sparkly! :)
great swatches!scrangie is my favourite one, I'm just a purple lover:)
I received my order as well, except "Dead Calm" is back ordered 6-8 weeks, I did receive "scrangie", "grunge" and "bruised"...I am not happy dead calm is back ordered, but after seeing your swatches, I'll be happy when it does arrive!
