Fashion Polish: Rescue Beauty Lounge Fan 3.0 collection unveiling!

Hi ReBeLs!
Today is the Fans 3.0 collection unveiling and I'm super excited to be able to share with you the seven new Rescue Beauty Lounge fan collaborations.

"Introducing The Fan Collection 3.0 How do we collectively convey our passionate fixation for nail polish? By dreaming up fantastical colors, knitting compelling stories, and obsessively entering our infamous fan collection submissions. This nail polish color love-a- thon is an absolute dream-catcher. Here they are, the seven winners from across the world—it’s my true privilege to create these treasured colors and to share this extraordinary journey with all of you." - Ji Baek

Ethereal “It is reflected in a fleeting sunrise, the lining of a seashell, the bubbles of pink champagne in a gold-rimmed flute, the shimmering silk of a sari, the glow of a candle through a gossamer white curtain. Ethereal is elegant and infinitely wearable, but has the merest hint of flash. It’s a versatile polish that can be worn by anyone, for any occasion.”—Nancy’s Fantasy.

This color truly reflects the inside of a seashell—shiny, with a mellow white mica and flashes of pink that swim through its slightly golden-gray shimmer—you can practically hear the waves by looking at the bottle.

Ethereal is a white crelly infused with a reddish pink shimmer. Formula was nice although on the thin side. I used 3 thin coats plus topcoat.

Electro Glacier “This dream color would be an icy pastel blue/green with magical iridescent sparkles. It would be light and bright, never described as muted or dusty. More blue than Aqua Lily, and much lighter than Faraway, it is closer to the color of Bikini Bottom, but striking and opaque. I imagine the sparkle effect to be along the lines of Scrangie and NailsandNoms. Tiny, yet highly effective.” — Ashley’s #want

Electro Glacier was the most challenging of the collection, requiring many variations (there were tons of non-stop mixing going on—making this the most demanding fan color thus far) and boy, am I glad we stuck with it! Creating an icy blue that would stay light, but still be a true blue, took iridescent sparkly delight is jammed-packed with shine.

Electro Glacier is a pastel blue packed with matching shimmer particles. Great application and an easy 2 coats coverage.

Many Splendours “...a night-sky black polish that, like Uluru, responds to its environment revealing fiery flashes of red orange from within. “Many Splendours” could be thought of as a darker sister to my beloved bottle of Piu Mosso, however, like the island that inspired her, she will be truly one of a kind.”— Angela’s envisage

I am super technically challenged, but not one to give up. We focused on creating a lava-like color since black pigment by itself is very dense. I replaced the black matte glitter with gold and orange sparkles. This color dries to a matte. I’m really into this look, but one swipe of our super-shiny top coat (hyperlink) will transform Many Splendours into live, hot, molten danger.

Many Splendours is a heavy mix of fine black, gold and red glitters in a clear base. Surprisingly opaque and drying to a textured but flat finish, I used 2 coats plus topcoat below.

Golden Horn This is a beautiful place in Istanbul where the Bosphorus makes an inlet. The idea is to have an off-white base (nothing too strong) with gold particles in it, similar to Naked Without Polish (which had a pink base). I love Naked Without Polish and I believe this can be a unique addition to your line. The particles should show through, so probably the base will not be 100% opaque. I love white & gold, I think it can be worn all year round, it is classy and chic.” – Sara’s Marvel....

This is a sophisticated, soft white mica base with a flash of lavender and golden flecks. It applies like a dream and yep—all year around and for every occasion.

Golden Horn is an off-white crelly with a cool shimmer flack and gold flakes, a beautiful and very unique white. I used 2 coats plus topcoat.

Sanguine The color I crave is a juicy jelly a la Starfish Patrick with a bright, burgundy base. It is luminous, like Poco a Poco, illuminated by the soft, peached pink glow and subtle flashes of orange. The color is vibrant, bold, and spirited. At once bright and sparkling, mysterious and dark”. –Lygie’s craving.

It isn’t technically possible for a jelly to hold shimmers and flashes, so we’ve altered the base to a smooth, gliding, non-streaky mica base, which we punched with sparkles. If peachy.com is raspberry, this is its brighter, sparkly cranberry cousin.

Sanguine is a burgundy metallic shimmer with a touch of pink and orange microshimmer particules. Application was dreamy, I used coats plus topcoat.

Vixen by Sassy Shelly ”I’m dreaming of a shade that (as of yet?) has been missing from the RBL spectrum. It’s rich and decadent and just dripping with luxury. A vivid magenta! A semi-translucent jelly, but one that is so drenched in color that it can become fully opaque in just a few coats. Its depth is filled with shimmer, a shimmer like (the first) Scrangie so deep you feel as though you could dive right in and swim around for hours. A magenta that almost glows from within with stunning teal and gold, sparkling, shining through its layers...”— Shelly’s Dream...

There are so many shimmers in here that it’s almost ridiculously obscene—in a good way of course. This flawless formula waxes poetic on magenta while it perfectly embeds and traps the decadent, luxurious glimmers...

Vixen by Sassy Shelly is a bold magenta shimmer enhanced with magenta and silver shimmers. Smooth application and an effortless 2 coats coverage.

GalaxSea “Things that excite (and somewhat terrify) me are outer space and the sea. My inspiration for a new shade are those two extremes, as well as my favorite colors — multi-faceted shades of purple, blue, magenta– think fish scales. I love glitter in my polishes or sometimes a well-done shimmer makes an even bigger impact — think stars.” –Danielle’s Yearning...

Ok. This might win top honors at a shimmer contest. It really reminds me of our long-ago Scrangie, but on steroids. This lavender base enmeshed with flecks of blue glass makes this formula glidingly, oh-so-easy to apply—it’s a win-win.
