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!

I've used it twice and am still totally underwhelmed. I also expected more of RBL polish after the glowing reviews on blogs but found the application blah, definitely not as good as Lippmann or Butter London polishes.
ReplyDeleteWow. Really? I find this polish extremely opaque and really pretty. However, this is why there are so many brands of nail polish and so many colors. In my opinion, I love Deborah Lippmann, but I think Rescue Beauty Lounge makes a better formula. I found it extremely easy to apply, extremely opaque and I loved how quickly it dried. I don't know about you, but sometimes I read too many reviews and when I finally receive the product, it doesn't seem to live up to my expectations. You know, I get stuck in the hype of the product. (Which is a total bummer because I really want to love all those "holy grail" products.) Thanks for your comment! :)
