Rescue Beauty Lounge-Aqua Lily

So I was trying to wait until the end of the semester to wear my RBL Fan Collection polishes. And while I have one last exam next Monday, I realized that the semester is over (no more classes or anything, just that one last exam) so why the hell not? Plus, I have no willpower what so ever.
Aqua Lily is a turquoise base with pinkish/purple-ish shimmer. Now on most pictures this looked blue, but it really is turquoise. The shimmer in it isn't so much that it overtakes the base, but it steadily there, especially in the sun (unfortunately, no sun pics. Overcast most of the day where I am).
The formula on this was good. Mostly two coats. I did do a little patch up job, but that was because of how I painted it on (I did thin coats and it was just going on all kinds of weird) not because of the formula. And this dried so fast. Much faster than I was expecting.

I love this. I think if this was my creation I would have either had more shimmer or no shimmer at all (because the turquoise is just gorgeous by itself) but I didn't create it. And maybe that's why I don't create nail polish. This is beautiful as is. And unfortunately, if you didn't get AL already then you can't cause it's sold out already. :( And I have crossed out another one of my resolutions for my nail game this year-buy and wear a polish that was at least $17 in price. I think this is well worth it.

    1. LOL! Ji said they have just a few left, so you can always try to make a purchase early Monday morning (I think that's when she's updating the site).

  4. Just seeing your response. Guess I missed out. :( Maybe I should order Scrangie to make myself feel better.
