Rescue Beauty Lounge Thank You

Thank You was released by indie polish maker Rescue Beauty Lounge as part of the Emoting Me collection for spring 2013. Creator Ji describes it as a bare, neutral nude with pink opalescent shimmers. It's a beautiful polish on the nail, a pale delicately tawny translucent nude with a pearly veil of cool pink particulate shimmers that float above the base color giving it a glow like fine thin porcelain. The diffuse opalescence of the surface has a clean, softly radiant look, very fresh and lovely.

Application was ok. The consistency of Thank You is very fluid and light, but not runny. It prefers to go on in thin coats, with the first coat especially allowed to dry before applying the next. The first coat was streaky, as was the second. With the third coat, the streaks began to disappear and topcoat helped them to melt away almost completely. This is a translucent polish and opacity must be built. For me, three coats was enough. Self-leveling properties were excellent. Even though I could see my ridges beneath the polish after two coats, the surface was smooth. The ridges finally disappeared after the third coat. Cleanup was easy and straightforward. Thank You dries naturally in slightly longer than average time to a smooth, shiny finish.

Photos show three coats of Thank You over Seche Rebuild treatment and Pretty Serious All Your Base basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite that turned out to be extra bubbly, as you'll see in the photos. My images do not do this polish justice.
