rimmel london steel grey nail polish bottle 365 untrieds 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.Back when Chanel Particulière was making nail polish headlines, there was talk of a potential dupe in Rimmel London Steel Grey.  Of course, at the time, whenever I would remember to look for it at my local drugstore it was sold out.  Then a few months back I picked up a bottle and I”m just now getting around to trying it out.

ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Rescue Beauty Lounge Glamourpuss

rescue beauty lounge glamourpuss nail polish bottle 365 untrieds 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

rescue beauty lounge drifter nail polish bottle 365 untrieds 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.

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…

Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer for Spring 2011

estee lauder pure color nail lacquer spring 2011 nail polish bottles Nail Lacquer has really become a fashion statement like a must have accessory. This collection compliments the runway trends we saw for Spring 2011 and comes in a range of soft and bold shades to capture your favorite look. – Estee Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux

This spring Estee Lauder has stepped up their nail game by introducing SIXTEEN nail polishes in a new long lasting formula.  In the past EL has given us mainly “safe” nail colors with a twist here and there but I tend to think of their line as being more suited to the conservative nail gal.  It’s not the first brand I look to for new nail shades.  Well with a master of color like Tom Pecheux on board, things have changed.

The sixteen piece collection is divided in half with eight core colors that will be carried at most Estee Lauder counters and eight Nordstrom Exclusive hues that include blue and green.  While to the average Fanatic, blue and green isn’t revolutionary, to a brand like EL it’s a pretty bold statement.  By incorporating this new palette with a seriously impressive formula, Estee Lauder has got my attention.
