Bring It Back 2012 - Rescue Beauty Lounge

It's that time again! Rescue Beauty Lounge Bring It Back! Read all about the event here: http://blog.rescuebeauty.com/happy-holiday-in-may/. The tentative date for their sale is 11/2, but that may change due to the huge storm that's hitting the east coast right now. Here are the ones coming back that I have :)

Aqua Lily is pretty much unbelievably beautiful. The most recent retiree to be welcomed back into the RBL catalog of available lacquers. She's from the inaugural fan collection that debuted at the beginning of this year. Hot turquoise with killer pink shimmer. Like the glistening lagoon water of a fantasy island lagoon.

This is Starfish Patrick. Truly an essential polish in my collection. This is from the Spongebob collection that came out in 2008. I don't know how many times it's been brought back to life but I'm just as in love with it now as I was when I first saw it. Deliciously smooth light creamsicle orange milky jelly. Le sigh.

And the other BiB polish I have in my possession is Pui Mosso. This guy is from the Firebird collection, the first collection I had the privilege of reviewing for RBL. Luxe mysterious dark navy with a tinge of purple and a generous glaze of reddish copper shimmer.

The entire line up that will be available for purchase: Recycle, Opaque Nude, Starfish Patrick, Insouciant, Pui Mosso, and Aqua Lily! I hope to bring you the swatches for the others soon. Until the sale date, again set tentatively for Nov. 2, I would urge you to sign up for Rescue Beauty Lounge email newsletters in order to be alerted as soon as possible when they are back. Any of those in particular you are looking forward to picking up? Personally I can't WAIT until I see Insouciant in person. I'm kind of obsessed with it!

Scandalous vs. Starfish Patrick

Hi folks :) I really enjoy comparison posts, it really helps you as readers and that makes me happy. I wish I would make time for more of them, so I will definitely work on that in the future. This particular comparison was requested by someone when I posted the Rescue Beauty Lounge Spongebob Squarepants collection the other day.

The contenders are Cult Nails Scandalous, swatched here, and Rescue Beauty Lounge Starfish Patrick, swatched here. Scandalous is on the left, Starfish on the right.

Index and ring fingers features Scandalous, middle and pinkie have Starfish Patrick on. As you can see, Scandalous is darker and more straight jelly while Starfish Patrick is paler and more of a hybrid jelly crème formula. Scandalous is swatched with three coats and SP is swatched with four coats.

Both are excellent polishes, I honestly couldn't choose between them! Scandalous sells for $10 on http://shop.cultnails.com/ and you will be able to get Starfish Patrick soon (around November) with Rescue Beauty Lounge's "Bring It Back" promotion later this year for $20 at http://www.rescuebeauty.com/.
