Create Your Own Nail Polish with Rescue Beauty Lounge!

UPDATE: You can see some examples of the template and download the template I have created on the 'Design Your Own Polish Template & Examples Page'. Have fun!

_____________________________________________________

Ji from Rescue Beauty Lounge is giving us the opportunity to have a go at creating a shade for Rescue Beauty Lounge! How exciting is that?! 

She doesn't want colours that already exist or dupes from older colours, so make sure your entry is original! :D

She says we can also send in one image portraying our idea, if you need help with that or anything I would be more than happy to help you out.

I have a template uploaded of an empty RBL bottle so you can stick whatever image you want behind it to make it look like a polish. Or if you would like my help (or don't have access to an editing programme) with putting the image there, just send me an email nailjuice@live.com :)

This is so exciting! I can't wait! I am starting on my idea right now :D

RBL Square Pants

"Put Me Somewhere I Don't Wanna Be, Seeing Someplace I Don't Wanna See, Never Wanna See That Place Again"

I think I saved all my really favourite songs for last hehe.

Here is Bikini Bottoms counterpart, Square Pants.

I was also not too keen on it, but looking at the photos now... what was wrong with me?! Maybe i'm just lusting after my nails lol.

I used three coats here. Sqaure Pants doesn't really need a ridgefiller like Bikini Bottom.

I'm pretty impressed with Rescue Beuaty Lounge, but they aren't any better than all my other polishes. I think I also read somewhere that all RBL polishes need to be wearable at two coats to wear the RBL name. Don't quote me on that, but these two certainly don't qualify.

Aaaaaaaaand GO!

RBL Bikini Bottom

"Rest Your Trigger On My Finger"

My boyfriend chose this lyric, so i thought I should pair it with a colour he liked n_n

This is Rescue Beauty Lounge's Bikini Bottom. It was from a collection of three shades based off Spongebob Squarepants. There was also a yellow and a peach.

I really was not liking this the first time around that I tried it. It went on uneven and the polish gathered at the sides. So I then tried it over Zoya's Get Even (ridgefiller) and look at it now! :D

I really want to make some white bows out of acrylic and put it on top of Bikini Bottom...

What song is this from?!

Bikini Bottom & Square Pants

I just took these swatches for you :D Almost broke my neck trying, but here they are!

Square Pants is the pastel yellow with very subtle shimmer (similar to OPI The Violet-ter The Better), I used three coats here.

And of course Bikini Bottom is on the right, a pastel blue jelly. I used four coats here.

You know how I wasn't feeling too flash about these little gems? Yeah well, now I love 'em! :D Haha. What made me change my mind? My holy grail ridge filler of course!

Zoya's Get Even.

It's beautiful. It's white. It works so so well. But I do recommend that you use it over your normal base coat as itself tends to apply a little unevenly without it. You only need one coat of Get Even n_n

Without Get Even, Bikini Bottom applied lovely, but the polish sort of gathered at the sides of my nails, so it looked like there was less in the middle of my nail. Ugh. It was also a little difficult to make them all even (opacity wise) throughout all ten nails. Bikini Bottom also made my tips appear green. Green tips makes me think fungal.

When RBL brought these colours out last year, along with Starfish Patrick (which I'm still trying to figure out how to get) for Fall/Autumn I think? Any who, I knew I had to have them! My sister and I *love* Sponge Bob, and there were pastels made after the show?!!?! Holy flip!

I'll fully swatch these babies for you on the weekend.

Just in case anyone is wondering how I almost broke my neck lol, I stood on one of our breakfast bar chairs (they're really tall, guests often get stuck in them trying to get out of it) and had to try get as close as possible to one of the little lights on the kitchen ceiling (to make sure the colours come out correctly).

Rescue Beauty Lounge - Square Pants & Bikini Bottom

Don't they look stunning here?

I wore Bikini Bottom today and a got a few compliments on it, which I wasn't really expecting since I wasn't loving it 100%. You will get the review on that one later.

BECOMING A NAIL TECHNICIAN:
Today was day 10, still no sign of our t-shirts or student IDs. They seem really unorganised to me. It's costing me $100 a week to get there and home, with my student ID it would only be $58, so you can see why I'm a little pissed about that, eh?

Anyway, today we did another pedicure, I quite enjoy doing them lol. I really like doing the exfoliate and using the cuticle spoon (the spoon is used to cut the Pterygium).

I suppose with the exfoliate, I get enjoyment too :D and with the cuticle spoon, I can see that I'm actually making a difference. Oh I also love the painting, but I much prefer using my base coat and top coat.
