RBL The Real Housewives of the Tudor Dynasty

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I'm back with swatches of the Fall 2010 Rescue Beauty Lounge nail polishes (samples from RBL), and they are fantastic.  All were good in two coats, and all four are gorgeous shimmers.  You can read about Ji Baek's inspiration for the collection here. RBL will announce their availability on Facebook.

Jane is a pale neutral with a hint of pink and lavender, and just the perfect subtle shimmer.

Anne is a grey green with just a hint of pink shimmer.

Catherine H. is a gorgeous Wedgewood blue shimmer.

My favorite is a real stunner, Catherine, which is a deep purple shimmer.

I am absolutely in love with all four of these!  What do you think?

That's it for the RBL Extravaganza today, Dear Reader.  Until next time, love and nail polish to you!  

OPI Shrek Collection

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I wasn't up for swatching OPI Shrek last night, but I was this morning, so I have swatches for you.  Five of the pictures are under artificial light - my first shot at using a new light box.  The colors are true to life, but I'm still working on placement of the lamps to eliminate shadows.  The sixth was taken last night by the setting sun.

All six of the Shrek Collection are cremes and were three coaters for me, but I've found the dry time to be reasonable.  The brush on them is good, too - a little big, but not as moppy as in some collections.  There are two blues, two purples, and two weirdo greens in the collection, and I like them all.

The first weirdo green is Fiercely Fiona, a color like if you made pea soup using both green and yellow peas.  This one is a full manicure, and the picture I took outside last night.

The other weird green is Who the Shrek are You?, which is really the color of Shrek.

The lighter of the two blues is What's with the Cattitude, a baby blue creme.

The darker blue is Ogre the Top Blue, a bright medium blue creme.

The lighter of the purples is Rumple's Wiggin', a slightly pink pale lavender.

The last one, the darker purple, is today's Nails of the Day, Funky Dunkey.

That's OPI's Shrek Collection, and what I have for you today, Dear Reader.  Until tomorrow, love and nail polish to you!
