BB Couture Ladies in Polish Collection

Hi friends! This is the women's collection pair to BB Couture's Men In Polish collection that I showed you a while ago, called Ladies in Polish. Both have an outer space theme, referencing the movie Men In Black. These polishes all have holographic glitter, which is of course never very easy to capture in a photo. They are always way more awesome looking in real life. I tried my best but believe me, these pictures are nothing compared to their epicness in person.

First is Galactic Stranger. This is a metallic icy grape purple with a truckload of holographic glitter. Really amazing and deep. This is two coats.

This is Manipulative Martian. Another purple but on the girly almost periwinkle side of the spectrum. The glitter is just as plentiful here but blends in the base a bit more. I don't love this shade on me but I can see it being a popular color for others. Two coats.

Here is Naughty Navigator. A dark cement grey with salty looking holo glitter pieces. I love this color and I think it's unexpected to do it in a glitter. Two coats here too.

Next is Physical Evidence, a rusty brick red shimmer with holo glitter. I used two coats on this but I think it would've benefited from a third. My mother absolutely ripped this out of my hands when I showed her the polishes, she is head over heels with it.

This is called Sexual Space, a youthful fuchsia pink with holo glitter. I didn't like this in the bottle but I ended up really enjoying it on the nail. It's very bubblegummy and reminds me of the 90's and Lisa Frank products. Two coats.

Stargazed Stripper is the last in this collection. This is a super metallic silver with holographic glitter. I wasn't sure if the uber metallic would work well with the glitter but it really did. I ended up loving this polish the best out of the bunch. You can't appreciate the insanity of the holo effect on this one, just, wow. Two coats.

I adore how these polishes tie in perfectly with the abstract aesthetic of outer space. Great formulas on all of them. You can get these for $10.95 each on www.bbnailpolish.com.

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!

Butter London - Two Fingered Salute

Nordstrom has a trio of exclusive lacquers from Butter London out right now and today I'm going to show you my pick from the three. Two Fingered Salute is one of the hottest polishes on the market right now, it has been sold out online and even in stores all over. I finally was able to order it a few weeks ago and it just shipped :) Side note: I honestly hate how Nordstrom packages their shipments though, I've ordered one or two cosmetics from them a few times and they always arrive in a medium to LARGE box that weighs about an ounce because it's that one thing and packing paper. It's wasteful and makes me mad. But it must not make me so mad that I've stopped ordering from them...

Two Fingered Salute is a dusty mint green with gazillions of irregularly shaped copper flecks that gleam dusty pink in the sunshine. I FREAKING love this polish! This is basically Rescue Beauty Lounge Halcyon, only a little lighter and with more pronounced shimmer. I always adore the BL formula too, two coats on this one. Ga-ga-gorgeous!

How do you like this guy? I am in love. You can look for this at your local Nordstrom store or online at nordstrom.com for $14.
