Rescue Beauty Lounge Anatomy Of A #KDrama Swatch and Review
Press sample
Hello beautiful nail polish lovers! The day is here! Another Rescue Beauty Lounge collection unveiling. I'm so honored to be included in this short list of bloggers as I've been a true fan of RBL since the moment I discovered them. This collection arrived when I was literally knee deep in house cleaning, fixing and de-cluttering preparing for my upcoming move. What a challenge this has been. But I did it! woot woot! And now...LET'S SEE!
(All swatches are with Rescue Beauty Lounge Base Coat and Top Coat)
Rescue Beauty Lounge Anatomy Of A #Kdrama
Picture this: A really hot, rich boy (his parents practically own the country—think
Samsung!) falls in love with a plain Jane, a pitifully poor girl whose family was financially
ruined by loan sharks. The boy’s equally wealthy best friend falls in love with her too,
and they even come to blows over the girl. She is without a clue since she is often too
exhausted from taking care of her family—and working two or three jobs. It takes about
8 episodes for this couple to hold hands; we don’t know which of the boys she will
choose, she may have held hands with both of them. They reach into their bottomless
wallets to give her makeovers—in fact, one of their fathers owns the department store!
(Oh Snap!)
Enter the boy’s no-nonsense Korean tiger mom who always has a rich girl for him to marry (think company merger), someone he loathes. There are loads of schemes to get rid of the poor girl, even if his mother has to hire a hit man. Yes, there will be a kidnapping and perhaps some injuries, you name it—I’m scared for her too, no lie. It takes about 16 episodes for these two to kiss and overcome her accidents, hospital recoveries, etc. They promise never to part. But wait! Something else surfaces, after the boy’s friend digs up the girl’s family history, it turns out that the couple are exactly like Romeo and Juliet, their ancestors were enemies and the reason why her family is destitute.
What will she do? Will she honor her family and reclaim their wealth? Or does she abandon ship?!

Rescue Beauty Lounge Burn The Evidence

Burn The Evidence has a finely milled panache glitter that is not only jammed-packed
with a mélange of red, gold, orange and copper glitters, but it also provides that dash of
ash-black brilliance. This color fully covers in two full coats and has a flaming three-
dimensional depth: Your hot nails will look like they’re on fire.
Out of the gate with this fiery goodness. Easy to work with micro glitter, opaque in 2 coats. This one is a stunner..and dries gritty. You may need 2 coats of top coat for that glossy finish. Love it!
Rescue Beauty Lounge Cue The Montage
Cue The Montage
Yellow chartreuse is the most difficult color to wear; it was a daring task to try to create
one that would be suitable for all skin tones. Cue the Montage has a different texture
than any other RBL nail polish. It dries matte and textured, so you must apply a
basecoat and topcoat for the full effect. This color has glittery silver that peaks through
in glorified harmony.
Warning: The glitter in this bottle does not appear the same when applied to nails; it has a sandwiched effect.

OK, I must say..this IS a daring shade, and not a winner for me personally. A formula that seems tricky, not very self leveling but opaque in 2 coats, dries textured and matte and is very top coat hungry. I used 2 coats of top coat here.
Rescue Beauty Lounge Instant Amnesia
Instant Amnesia
This is the perfectly neutral balance between fawn and taupe, a lofty palate cleanser
with a tinge of attitude. Its flawless beauty is infused with flutters of silver, green, and
pink shimmer. Once you wear it, Instant Amnesia will erase your memory of all the bad
nail polish colors from your past.
A gorgeous neutral that is in no way flat. You could get away with 2 coats but I have 3 coats here to be sure. Flawless formula. I'm afraid the shade isn't great for my skin tone but I'd wear it anyway!
Rescue Beauty Lounge Monologue
Monologue
Virtuously inky, Monologue’s navy blue base is embedded with a soliloquy of elegant
light-blue shimmer. Even in low light, this solitary dark blue retains its color and does not
appear to be black. Monologue has a smooth, undemanding application; this color is
darkly pigmented yet calmingly engaging.
Ugh. Stunning. A must have for the blue lovers! Perfect formula, 2 coats. A dark blue that doesn't turn black in low light and a visible shimmer. WIN!
Rescue Beauty Lounge Not Your Baby
Not Your Baby
A deceitfully, mysterious brown-bronzy-sage-green duo chrome, Not Your Baby is a
classic RBL chameleon nail polish—its identity changes depending on the light. Trickery
plays. This color may appear to be brown with a cast of sage-green shimmer in a
certain light, and yet bronze the next moment.
OK. Wow. Just wow. This is amazing. Really a color shifter in different lights and complex, I didn't want to take THIS baby off. Another flawless formula, 2 coats here.
Rescue Beauty Lounge Oh Slap!
Oh Slap!
The quintessential flushed cheeks for your nails, Oh Slap! goes on as a sheer pink in
one coat with opaque coverage in two coats. This is THE PERFECT PINK; the formula
is flawless and streak-free and is not pastel or white-based. You can practically apply it
with your eyes closed.
Ah love this pink! A perfect jelly formula, no streaks, but for me, I did need 3-4 coats for opacity, which is fine with me when it's a jelly and they layers add a glossy squishy-ness that only jellies do. There's no top coat here. This one was hard for me to get color accurate, so if my skin tone seems off it was because I was trying to get the polish shade correct. The bottle shot is accurate.
Rescue Beauty Lounge Will They Won't They
Will They Won’t They
Will They Won’t They catches the sun’s rays as it glides on your nails. A gentle
cascade of the tiniest silvery, blue-green micro glitter softly flows on a pool of doleful
lavender. Sheer coverage in one coat, and opaque in two.
Lovely lovely!! I'm not even a purple lover and this is a must have. Probably my favorite of this collection. Perfect formula, 2 coats here. The shimmer is much prettier in person on top of this dusty lavender. In love <3 When I get a moment this one is going back on!
