ReBeL With A Cause

My regular readers are very aware of my love for Rescue Beauty Lounge polish.  I now own 58 bottles so far.  If you look at my labels, I have written 64 posts dedicated to RBL so far.  This will make #65.  This is all for my love of the brand. I'm not getting paid or free polish or anything like that.  I just truly love the polish.

I saw that Ji, the owner, is having a contest for new bloggers to swatch the new Blogger 3.0 collection when it comes out.  OMG people!  You know I just had to enter this contest!  Usually, RBL only uses 5 of the very top bloggers to swatch the new collections before they go on pre-sale.  This is such an amazing opportunity!

Of course, we go back to the premise that I do not have pretty nails, nor do I have a bazillion followers and gorgeous photography.  That will all figure in since the voting is basically a popularity contest.  Yes I am a little bitter about this.  If it had to do with the love and dedication to the brand, I'd be in the running for sure. The ten finalists will be picked by RBL, but then those ten will be put to a public vote.  I entered this contest for the love of RBL, not because I had any illusions that I'd win!

But oh how awesome that would be!

Maybe if I happen to make the top ten, you guys could vote for me so I at least get some votes, other than the one I vote for myself?  HEHEHEHE.

The deadline to enter is today, but I will have entered at least one more swatch and show you later.

Here is your silly bottle shot.


This is Jane, No More War, Diddy Mow and Orbis Non Sufficit.  Some of my very favorite colors from RBL.

I started with skittles of these colors.  Before I show you, I want you to know that I scrubbed with a hand scrub, did my cuticles, filed and tried so very hard to do perfect polishing.  I tried really hard.

I think I did pretty good here.  Now I know these colors don't seem to go together, but just you wait.  I dotted on the accent with the three colors.  On my thumb, I taped off half on the diagonal and dotted on half the nail.  Here are the results.

Yes I see that I smeared the dots.  You can't really tell with the other pictures I submitted.  What happened was, I used CND Super Shiney top coat instead of Seche because I wanted super shiny nails to enter this contest.  I waited for the dots to dry and it still smeared.

Like I said before, I have no illusions that I will win even though it would be like a dream come true for me! I will continue to support and love RBL long after this contest is over.

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?
