rescue beauty lounge diddy mow

diddy mow is a gorgeous soft green with just a hint of shimmer...i always prefer a straight creme but the shimmer in this doesn't bother me at all..it really adds to the depth and softness of this color. it's amazing!

rescue beauty lounge 360

360 is a beautiful slate blue. the subtle shimmer is only in full sun.

rescue beauty lounge bangin

LOVE!
Ji is amazing. she not only made a 'bright' coral-red that isn't neon or matte...it's opaque in 1 coat! i swatched it last of the 3 and didn't prep my nails as well as I should have so I apologize for the remains of 360. I know I'll get better/neater pics of Bangin soon when i wear it for a full mani....I can't wait. <3

As always with RBL...all 3 were smooooth application, opaque in 1 coat, easy to control, and dried glossy.
look what the mailman brought...swatches coming soooonnnn.....

nails inc baker street
bright coral. it reminded me of misa stop rewinding, just fast forward but it's more pink/red. same application wise..leaning towards being a jelly but since it's mostly opaque in 2 coats it's more of a creme with smooooth application and great vibrant color.

nails inc wilton crescent...i took this one in the bright sun to show how RED it is.

this is indoor lighting...it darkens but doesn't turn brown at all. i love it...classic and clean. one of the thicker cremes from nails inc but opaque in 1 coat...this is 2 to make sure it was even.

I'm so sorry for the lapse in posts...I've been taking a stroll down memory lane with polishes. It's so easy to get caught up in buying new colors and then just wearing those, you forget the ones you love the most...so there they are.

nails inc dover st and brompton rd
nails inc has an annoying habit of using similar names.
dover st. market is a vampy creme and brompton place is a bright pink creme

dover st and brompton rd always reminded me of each other in the bottle. like a shimmery and creme version of each other but they are really different.
dover st is too warm for me and brompton rd is just right.

ibiza orange
i didn't have high hopes for this one...it looks orange in the bottle...*yawn*
but on the nail...WIN! it turns a great tangerine...perfect for spring and summer!

nails inc hollywood was part of the Hills Collection.

i was surprised at how much i like hollywood! it is a neon so it dries down matte...but that also means application was awesome and smooth...almost like a jelly that way. i love it!

nails inc portobello market

i'm not sure what happened on this one...but portobello is a no go for me. it's just the wrong shade...i think if i were darker or browner it would be awesome...but the pink in my skin just clashed with the orange.

nails inc spitalfields

gorgeous easy to apply yellow...crazy smooth...beautiful buttery creamy yellow.
stinks that it does not work on me. i'm too pink...again for this color....i couldn't take it off fast enough.

mint greens...i don't own many...in fact ...this is it!

essie mint candy apple, nails inc haymarket (twin to satin), mac peppermint patti, and opi damone roberts
the mac was the most annoying to apply...by far. it also happens to be my least favorite color of the bunch. my favorite was the opi. and excuse the bloopy nails inc...i didn't wait long enough between coats.
