Aqua Lemming

It's blue(ish). It's beautiful. It's finally mine. I got this as a birthday gift for a shameful price after the first time it sold out. I wanted to wait until my birthday to use it--so here it is.

Aqua Lily. Natural Light, Shade.






























It was one of those colors that does not disappoint upon receiving. It's the same gorgeous blued turquoise with pink particle shimmer that I expected. However, it was the formula, as with many Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes I've tried (gasp) that was problematic for me. It was very pigmented (awesome) and strangely self-leveling. It took about an hour to level out completely on the second coat. It pulled for me as well, so the second time I used it, I waited for the first coat to dry and had much better application. Another issue--it chipped the next day :( and for a polish that retails for $20, I would just find a dupe or wait for one.

  1. This is gorgeous x's a million on you! What's up with RBL's formula? I have Halcyon & haven't bothered trying any other RBL's because their formula is so not good.

  2. :)))) Thank you, Joni! I think this one would look awesome on you, also. Halcyon is still on my wl, but maybe I'll get two-fingered salute instead if you say the formula is bad. Bad formulas on pricey polishes are a huge pet peeve of mine.

  3. I would honestly get Two-Fingered Salute instead

  4. I've heard that formula sucks too, but the price wins :)
