DisapOInted

Normally I am a bit cheap when it comes to how much to pay for a bottle of nail polish LOL. For once I feel for the temptation to buy something expensive and decided to participate in the buy that  Nailmail hosted in November with Rescue Beauty Launge polishes. I got them last week and hid them away along with the other Christmas gifts. I got a bit disappointed when I finally opened the package - the color on RBLs webshop and what they look in real life is not the same.

From left to right: Molin Rouge, Catherine, Teal, Anne and Stormy.

The same night I tested Catherine, but she refused to dry no matter what base or top polishes. So I spelt with just Nail Tek III foundation Ridgefiller and on the morning of Christmas day it was Anne's turn. I must say both are among the best polishes I have tried when it comes to painting - the brush is just right and the formula just glides on. Two layers are more than enough.

But and that is one heck of a large BUT, the staying power is lousy. Only a couple of hours after application of Anne a large chip fell of the index finger and I promise, I had not used my nails as tools or something. My quite old Nikon Coolpix 3500 might be over the hill in some aspects, but jeeeezzz - look at the closeup of the cuticle and the polish outside the nail below, even though I have attempted some clean up :-( It does look somewhat better IRL though.

This is what the left hand looked later in the day - NTW everywhere. I'm starting to wonder if there is anything strange going on with my nails or if RBL is just another hyped up nail care company?

I am going to try out one of the other RBL polishes later on, probably after dinner. Right now I need to go back to sewing these DWR blocks.
