ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Rescue Beauty Lounge Glamourpuss
365 of Untrieds is my personal challenge to weed through the polishes in the ALU stash that I’ve been wanting to try but just haven’t gotten around to.I decided to follow up yesterday’s post about RBL Drifter with another contender in the Bring It Back vote, Rescue Beauty Lounge Glamourpuss.
You may remember that back in October, just before the big RBL sale, that I mentioned wanting a bottle of Glamourpuss in my sale order. Well, you naughty little minxes beat me to the punch and the color was sold out before I could get my order in. Fortunately, a friend was kind enough to gift me with a bottle and it’s taken me until now to use it. Let’s take a gander, shall we? |
ALU 365 of Untrieds – Rescue Beauty Lounge Drifter

If you follow the Rescue Beauty Lounge Blog, Facebook page or Twitter account than you know that RBL founder Ji Baek is doing another round of Bring It Back voting where the fans get to decide which discontinued colors will come back to life. After a successful vote last fall that resulted in the ressurection of fan faves Bikini Bottom, Bruised, Purple Haze and Black Russian. This time around the vote begins Friday April 15th and 21 discontinued polish colors are in the running to be brought back to life. The top three vote getters will make a triumphant return. As I was looking at the list of contenders I realized that there are few colors I own but haven’t swatched. Rescue Beauty Lounge Drifter is one of those. I bought Drifter over a year and a half ago and ended up filing it away before I even wore it. What a shame that was. See what I mean… |
ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Nicole by OPI Fresh Squeezed

Three years ago, Rihanna stopped traffic on the Grammy red carpet when she paired an electric blue dress with nails adorned in traffic cone orange, kicking off the orange nail polish trend of Summer 2008. Well orange is back people. It’s one of the biggest trends for Spring/Summer 2011 though this time around it’s more about brights than neon. I’ve worn a lot of orange polishes in the past so I wasn’t sure I would find anything that I haven’t at least tested on one nail and then I came across Nicole by OPI Fresh Squeezed. Fresh Squeezed came out last year when I was all up in my turquoise phase and couldn’t get into it but, its time has come. |
ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Zoya Julieanne

I’ve seen a few comments from readers saying they are disappointed that I won’t be reviewing new nail polish collections. I wanted to reassure you all that that isn’t the case. Just because I am launching this 365 project DOESN’T mean that I won’t be reviewing current collections. The Zoya Wicked collection launched in Fall 2010 as a set of six sparkling shades with names matching the Dancing With The Stars pro dancers. While the collection was pretty, only two colors really stood out to me, Edyta and Julieanne, a smokey olive green and jewel toned purple. Being that my favorite colors are green and purple, in that order, it’s really no surprise that those polishes called out to me. Alas, they’ve been sitting since Fall in my “to be worn” bin and haven’t received the love they deserve. Since I’m pretty season-less in my manicure choices I figured today is as good a day as any to give Zoya Julieanne a whirl. |
ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Milani Silver Dazzle One Coat Glitter
365 of Untrieds is my personal challenge to weed through the polishes in the ALU stash that I’ve been wanting to try but just haven’t gotten around to.
A few months ago actress Marilu Henner appeared on just about every talk show on TV to discuss her amazing memory. She can remember every day of her life, down to the most minute details. It’s absolutely fascinating to watch her speak about it. While I’ve always considered myself to have a good memory, my ability to recall events doesn’t even compare. So what’s my point? Well as I was digging around for my next 365 of Untrieds nail polish, I discovered a CVS bag filled with Milani One Coat Glitters and as soon as I laid eyes on them, I flashed to the night I bought them. It was unreal how I could picture everything about that night the instant my hand touched the bottle of Silver Dazzle. It was a Friday in December, the night Black Swan opened in Cleveland and I had just left the theater to get gas. As I waited at the gas station for my tank to fill I checked Twitter only to see a local Fanatic mention that CVS had displays of the One Coat Glitters out already. There JUST happens to be a CVS next to the gas station and even though they were about to close I hightailed it over to scoop up one of every shade on display, including the Jewel FX glitters. |
