Rescue Beauty Lounge BiB4 Aqua Lily, Insouciant, Recycle, and Piu Mosso

If you've been hiding under a rock, then you wouldn't know about the Rescue Beauty Lounge Bring it Back 4 polishes available for pre-order until Saturday night.  This time around Opaque Nude, Starfish Patrick, Insouciant, Aqua Lily, Recycle, and Piu Mosso will be available.  They're all $20 each and the pre-order is accessible through the email sent to all those on the mailing list.  To help make your decision easier(or more difficult) I've got a few swatches of the polishes. 

Insouciant was my first ever RBL, sent to me by a lovely member of the nail forum that I post on regularly through a gift exchange.  Looking back, I had no idea about the quality of RBLs or the uniqueness of this color until much later after Insouciant became out of stock.  It's a lovely taupey lavender shade with blue and pink shimmer.  Yes, blue AND pink shimmer, two colors!  My bottle was a bit thick but a little thinner would probably help.  Otherwise, application was a dream, consistent with all of RBLs formula.  This is shown with two coats and a layer of Poshe.

Aqua Lily was part of the fan created line of colors and was immensely popular and sold out quickly.  It's a stunning aqua shade with a hidden pink shimmer and applied like a dream.  This is two coats with one layer of Poshe.

Recycle is a fantastic green cream.  I can't believe I haven't used it until now!  If you don't have this one, you have to get it.  It did apply a bit streaky on the first coat but it evened out after the 2nd.  This is shown with one layer of Poshe.

My last swatch is Piu Mosso, a rich and pigmented navy with copper shimmer.  I probably could have used one layer but I did two out of habit and followed with Poshe.

Whichever polishes you choose, I'm sure you won't go wrong.  I myself won't be ordering any of the BiB unless my secret Santa has it on her list.  It'll be a great time to catch the remaining GOMM polishes as well.  Are you going to put an order in?

Hare Polish Pegasus Swatch and Review

I'm so glad that Hare Polish brought back some of her original releases.  I've been following her for a while and was kicking myself for months for not getting some of her polishes when they were first released(I was trying to save money, shame on me!).  Luckily in the last restock I was able to pick up Pegasus, an etheral looking polish similar to its namesake.  When I was young, I use to draw Pegasuses(Pegasi?) over and over again with my drawing pencils - I loved the idea that a magical horse could fly with strong handsome wings and dreamed of being able to ride one.  This is that dream come alive in nail polish.

Pegasus is a breathtaking pale grey jelly with silver multi-sized hex glitter.  I don't think I have anything remotely similar to it in my collection.  Application was a fail for me, however, because it was thick and gloppy and too dense with glitter.  I imagine if I could pour some of this out and add a little thinner and clear polish, it probably would be a dream to use.  I applied three coats in these pictures and would have added a fourth for additional opacity if there wasn't already too much glitter.  You can almost see on my index how thick the polish became after a few coats.  I had to use Gelous and Poshe to smooth out the chunkiness of this.  I'm surprised to be so disappointed in a Hare Polish as this is the first time I've ever encountered this problem with any of her polishes.  Despite this being a reformulation of the original, I wonder if the original was that bad to begin with or if she needs to go back to the drawing board for this one again.

Do you think the terrible application is worth the polish payoff?
