Stash Swatch Initiative: Rescue Beauty Lounge Sante Fe (Road)

Hello again!


Rescue Beauty Lounge Santa Fe. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.

Today I have a Rescue Beauty Lounge polish that is still available! This is Sante Fe Road, and it is a part of RBL's newest collection, GOMM (Weird name for a collection? Yes, but there's a story behind that...).

The GOMM collection was supposed to be named "Georgia on My Mind" and was inspired by the works of Georgia O'Keefe. However, legal issues got in the way. You can read a full explanation of this here, if you are interested. I ordered and received my bottle of Sante Fe Road before the change, during the pre-order event, so I should note that my bottle has the unnofficial name and label. This color is now called Sante Fe.

 Sante Fe is a muted orange with a hidden orange shimmer. The shimmer is far more apparent in the bottle than on the nail. Indoors, this looks like a creme. The formula on this was thicker than the previous two RBL's I have posted (Halcyon and Scrangie), and it was excellent to apply. All swatches today are one coat of Sinful Colors Nail hardening base, two coats of Sante Fe, and one coat of Seche Vite.

There's a hint of shimmer there!
As you read (if you went ahead and followed the link), the legal drama surrounding this collection will likely prohibit any of the colors to be produced again. So, get this one while you can! Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes are sold through their website. I don't think these are available anywhere else. Shipping was super quick and the polishes come packaged beautifully.

Please note that this bottle has the old label. This should say "Sante Fe".

More soon! ^_^
