RBL - Piu Mosso

So, a few weeks ago I did a post on Rescue Beauty Lounge Pizzicato...remember? (If not, you can see that here). And it was based off of the Firebird Suite, which I still get all giddy about every time I think about it. Well, this is actually the first color I got from RBL. Piu Mosso is pretty much the storm. It has a unique subtle shimmer that makes this polish what it is. It's a dark blue with a fiery orange/copper shimmer that comes out to play in the sunlight.

That copper shimmer was harder to capture than it seems. A lot of the time the sun reflected so much on it that it made the shimmer look yellow. Obviously, from that last bottle shot especially, it's not yellow at all. You can't see the shimmer at all when you're in the shade, so it looks like a dark blue creme. But once this baby hits the sunlight it just explodes into life. A subtle beauty. Love it.

RBL - Pizzicato

Today I have Rescue Beauty Lounge's polish in Pizzicato. This is from their Firebird collection, which I had to have (I now own 3 of the 4). From swatches I had seen online I thought that Pizzicato was a dainty white polish with apparent shimmer in it. When it arrived I was shocked that it was a light pink/lavender shade with shimmer. I thought I wouldn't like it, but I ended up loving it! Well, the color anyways. We'll get to the formula after the pictures. Take a look!

All of those photos are under artificial light and are 2 coats. And the shimmer was impossible to capture! The bottle shot gives you an idea of what's in it. I was hoping to get some natural sunlight pictures, but the manicure lasted a total of 10 minutes because I got so frustrated. 

I only have 3 polishes from RBL and this is the only polish that gave me trouble. The formula took forever to dry. I think I waited 5 minutes between coats and it was still tacky. But, me being totally impatient, I went on anyways. The polish never set. I was going to add some leaves from a bundle monster stamp, and just as I put the stamp on my nail it went sliding...and took the polish with it in a big, gloppy mess. At that point I was so fed up that I angrily took the whole thing off. Besides, it was 11 PM and I was totally over it. 

Maybe, one day, I'll return to Pizzicato. It really is a beautiful color! And this has happened to me 2 other times with different polishes that were amazing colors that I hope to revisit one day. In the mean time, let's just enjoy the beauty from the pictures! 

I hope everyone had a happy new year!
