Rescue Beauty Lounge Swatches Part 1 of 2

Last year I bought a bunch of Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes on their big $9 sale.
For some reason this year they didn't have the big one. I really love the colors I have, was hoping to get more.
This year, on December 8 through the 12th, there is a 30% off gift card available to purchase. This means that a $20 bottle of polish is a $14 bottle when you buy it with your gift card. I kind of wish they'd have that $9 sale again! That was epic. The gift card does help, though.
No affiliation, no one is sending me polish to review, these are my own purchases.
I am debating about the gift card. If you are thinking about it, I thought a few swatches would be helpful.
I'll post the rest pretty soon.
First up a pretty unique polish, Black Russian:

Densely packed red glitter and shimmer in a black base. It never devolves to total blackness, but the red is a really nice, deep one, so it doesn't look like a holiday type of polish.
Three coats. No top coat.
I have an LED light that causes the speckle effect, it's not texture on the surface of the nail.




The hardest to photograph, but quite a gorgeous polish, Lotus Elise:

Three solid coats of luxe glass fleck glitters in a rich strawberry red jelly base. What I could not capture was the pink, purple, red, and amber shades of glitter.
I might be able to muscle through a layering to recreate this polish, but it is a gorgeous polish. Striking.



Finally, my favorite, Pause:

Two coats. No top coat.
Super saturated purple with a luscious pink shimmer.
Really my favorite purple. Hard to fault. I adore this one a lot.

More quite soon.
Ever since the beginning of November, my cuticles have been a riotous hot mess, despite extensive moisturizing. Argh!
Thanks for reading my little nail polish journal!
