Rescue Beauty Lounge, MAC, & Chanel

Greetings all! I am back from my mini vacation. Well I've been back since Saturday, but I went straight back to work, and I took off today for a personal matter. So about my vacation, I went to Lake George. It was good to be away from the city for 4 days. I had a very good and relaxing time. Went water rafting, and drove a boat for the first time :)

So during the trip my finally long nails broke. Three of them, so I was forced to cut them all to make it even. I have a few swatches done prior to the trip, so you will still see my long nails for now.

Today I have Rescue Beauty Lounge's Surf's Up Collection, MAC In The Buff from To The Beach Collection, and Chanel's Paradoxal from their Fall 2010 collection. Decided to put it all in one post rather then have them all scattered hehe

First up:

Rescue Beauty Lounge Surf's Up Collection


Diddy Mow - grayish green with silver flecks. 2 coats


Bangin' - bright red creme. 2 coats. Totally opaque in 1 coat though. I was a little iffy about getting this one because spending $18 on a red creme is just totally blah in my opinion. But I guess it's a nice red creme. I think I will use these on my toes!


360 - grayish blue creme. 2 coats.

It seems like 360 and Diddy Mow have all gray tones to it which is pretty interesting. I love Rescue Beauty Lounge's polishes, but I don't like the price. However, their formula is very close to perfect. I mean some drugstore brand polishes applies like heaven too even with a cheap price, so I can't really argue the term "You get what you pay for" or something along those lines -_- I already pre-ordered the fall collection from RBL "The Real Housewives of Tudor Dynasty" can't wait for those babies to come!

Next up is MAC's In The Buff from To the Beach collection:


In The Buff - beige olive creme. Very hard to describe this color. Nobody I know liked this color, but myself. I thought it was very unique, and strange color. I like it a lot. This was 3 coats.

And finally, the most anticipated Chanel's Paradoxal.


Paradoxal - taupe, purple, gray, brown shimmer. 3 coats. Definitely a chameleon. Changes in all different sorts of lights.


Paradoxal shown with flash to show the purple shimmer.

Gorgeous color. I loved it. Just didn't think it was worth $23. Formula was so-so. Didn't apply perfectly. It's like your typical Chanel polishes which are a little thick. Plus this didn't even last me a day. It started chipping at the end of the day. I guess it's good to have? I really like this color though because it's very unique.

I also ordered OPI's Swiss Collection, Zoya's Wonderful & Wicked collection, China Glaze's Vintage Vixen collection, Misa's What I Like About You collection, and ORLY's Plastix collection. I am gonna have fun swatching all of those xD

Well that is all I have for today, I think I'm going shopping today to enjoy myself even more :)
