Comparison: RBLs vs. BBCs

When I posted my review of the new BB Couture collection The Pirates the other day, I got a few comments asking me to compare some of them with some Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes. So here ya go!

Press Sample

First up is Rescue Beauty Lounge Aqua Lily vs. BB Couture Calico Jack. Aqua Lily is from the Fan Collection from Spring 2012. Aqua Lily is on the left and Calico Jack is on the right. You can see that while similar, they are not dupes. AL is brighter and more vivid. CJ is a lighter and more muted shade of turquoise and includes lots of whitish glass fleck type glitters in with the pink shimmer. This is more visible in the shade photo below. Both have excellent formulas.

And the other comparison is Rescue Beauty Lounge Réveillon vs. BB Couture La Buse. Réveillon came out just this past fall/winter in the Fan 2.0 Collection. Réveillon is on the left and La Buse is on the right. Again, they are definitely similar but not dupes. The RBL is a silvery, more crisp blue and has more shimmer particles. La Buse has a more grayed tone and mixes in a few whitish glass flecks with a more subtle shimmer. I love both of these and couldn't choose between them.

There you have it! You can purchase Rescue Beauty Lounge nail polish from their website for $20 each. You can get BB Couture lacquers from their website for $10.95 each. Do you prefer one over the other in these comparisons? I am glad I own all four, I like things about each of them!

BB Couture for Men The Pirates Collection Swatches & Review

Hey folks! Today I have an awesome new collection from BB Couture called The Pirates! I am super impressed with all six of these colors, all very beautiful and nice to apply. I always look forward to BB Couture's new collections, they are always so fun and out of the box! This collection is from their "For Men" line, but of course anyone can wear them. I hope you like them as much as I do!

Press Sample

This is Calico Jack, a turquoisey blue with pink shimmer and subtle silvery turquoise microglitter. Super pretty and unique to my collection, although along the same lines of Rescue Beauty Lounge Aqua Lily. I can see myself wearing this over and over. The formula was great, two coats.

Next is Captain Kidd, a mid-tone taupe with pink shimmer. I adore that this company makes "ugly pretty" colors like this, maybe not conventionally beautiful but undeniably intriguing and attractive. This one was a tad thick but not terribly so. This is two coats.

Here is Blackbeard, a violet grape shimmer that almost seems metallic to me. The shimmer in this one is a mix of blue, pink and silver. I wouldn't call this one particularly unique but still very appealing. I used three coats here because the formula was a bit thin.

This beauty is called Long Ben, a fabulous pale pistachio green with pink shimmer. The pink shimmer in this might not translate in my photo but it's there and it's gorgeous. This one has a buttery smooth formula. I used two coats.

Bloody Black Bart is a stunner and sure to be a favorite with any purple lover. I am not usually, but I'm head over heels with this red toned sexy purple with red glitter bits. I love this. Two coats with a fabulous formula.

And last of the six is La Buse, a super demure and lovely light greyed blue with heavy pink shimmer and subtle silver microglitter bits. This is really beautiful and the formula was thin but easy to work with. Two coats.

You can purchase BB Couture on their website www.bbnailpolish.com for $10.95 each. There is a "For Ladies" Pirates collection coming very soon, so keep an eye out for it! What do you think of these swashbuckling swatches? Any colors catch your eye?
