Nail of the Day - Rescue Beauty Lounge Iconoclast

I will admit when I painted my nails with this color last night I wasn't too impressed with the actual color. I have received several questions about my "nail routine" and whether I paint my nails every day. The answer to that question is - I paint my nails every day. I try to wear each polish for the entirety of one full day to see how it wears, chips, etc. I have not noticed any one brand to be more or less prone to chipping after just one day of wear thus far. Some lacquers I wear for multiple days, I just don't photograph them. For example, I paint my nails on the weekends and use those photos for my Monday and Tuesday posts, thus allowing me the possibility of a "break" from painting my nails for two days a week.

Anyway, I painted my nails with Rescue Beauty Lounge's Iconoclast last night and I will admit, I did it while catching up on some episodes of Shamelss on Showtime (I pretty much love that show.) When I finished painting my nails I didn't think much of Iconoclast but this morning when I went to upload the photos I took last night I realize just how beautiful this lacquer is in the light. Rescue Beauty Lounge Iconoclast is a deep black with mutli-colored microshimmer. It's a very unique color and absolutely gorgeous in the sunlight. I will admit, if you spend your time in doors while wearing this polish you won't think it's anything special because it looks like a classic black cream nail polish in normal lighting. However, take a second look in the sunlight and you'll see the gorgeous shimmer and see why it's so unique and amazing on the nails. Rescue Beauty Lounge Iconoclast was easy to apply, covered with one coat (but I applied two, just to be safe) and is part of Rescue Beauty Lounge's Spring 2011 collection. I applied Seche Base as a basecoat, two coats of Iconoclast and Seche Vite as a top coat. So lovely! Enjoy!

Nail of the Day - Rescue Beauty Lounge Insouciant

I purchased two lacquers from the new Rescue Beauty Lounge Spring collection - Insouciant and Iconoclast. I decided to paint my nails first with Insouciant because I thought it was such a lovely deep purple/lilac with a hint of gray. I have to say, I am very impressed with Rescue Beauty Lounge's formula and I think I now understand that high price tag of $18.00. Unfortunately, I ran out of Seche Vite for my top coat and had to paint this polish without a top coat. I thought this would be disastrous, however it wasn't it at all. Rescue Beauty Lounge's lacquers dry quickly and with a very pretty shine. I was very impressed by the consistency and application as well. I found Rescue Beauty Lounge's Insouciant to be nearly opaque with just one coat. However, I decided to paint two coats just to be safe. As you can see, this color is extremely unique. It's a deep purple/lilac with a hint of gray and a soft super fine shimmer throughout the lacquer. It's hard to tell in the photos, but this polish's shimmer is just gorgeous on the nails and really makes the nails stand out. I'd call this color the ultimate "chic girl" polish because of it's gray undertones, but deep purple/lilac base and light shimmer. I also applied Seche Base as a base coat to this lacquer. Enjoy!
