Rescue Beauty Lounge IKB:2012- ReBeLs Rejoice!!
I followed the whole process of the Rescue Beauty Lounge Fan Collection pretty intensely. When Ji announced her plans for a fan-created collection, I even thought about entering an idea I've had floating around my head for awhile. But, I'm actually glad that I sat back and enjoyed the voting process, finding out who the winners were, etc. Altogether, it was a fun experience for Rescue Beauty Lounge lovers!! The collection was available for pre-order a few weeks ago, and I snapped up Rescue Beauty Lounge IKB:2012, as well as Aqua Lily.
IKB:2012 is a super bright, vibrant electric blue jelly. This polish was inspired by Yves Klein's signature International Klein Blue color. I think RBL did an excellent job of bringing this color to life. Check out these Google Images of "International Klein Blue". Perfect match.
I mentioned that this polish is super bright and I think it actually has some neon pigment in it. It dries sort of like a neon, not matte, but definitely not glossy. With one layer of top coat, however, it becomes super shiny and even more gorgeous.
I used three coats of IKB:2012 for these pictures. I think I did really need the third coat, as this polish is a jelly. It dries VERY quickly though, so it wasn't a hassle to do three coats. Overall, I am in LOVE with IKB:2012. I have heard people compare this with Orly Royal Navy, but I don't remember Royal Navy being this bright. I will have to find my bottle and compare the two for you.
Rescue Beauty Lounge IKB:2012 should be on sale at rescuebeauty.com sometime this coming week. I suggest to subscribe to their email list to stay informed.
I bought the same two polishes as well. I'm waiting until the semester is over to wear mine (one more week!)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so gorgeous! I actually think Royal Navy is darker than this, but I could be wrong.
I agree BMR. I think royal navy is quite a bit darker. You will really love wearing this beauty!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any RBL yet but this may have to be my first. It's stunning!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely worth it, Carly! This is a seriously intense blue! I got so many compliments on this mani too.
ReplyDeleteRoyal Blue's are something I lack in my collection. This color is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI feel like really good royal blues are not that common! There are a lot of navy blues, and deep blurples, but not so many royals! I'm glad to have this one :)
