The Real Housewives of Tudor Dynasty by Rescue Beauty Lounge

Today's swatches and review is totally drool-worthy. I have for you Rescue Beauty Lounge's The Real Housewives of Tudor Dynasty!! Four gorgeous shades inspired by the Tudor dynasty



Catherine is a smokey purple with gold, bright blue, fuchsia shimmer.


Anne is a smokey gray olive green with gold and pink shimmers


Jane is a a gray pearl with slight hints of gold and pink shimmer. The shimmers are not as noticeable on your nails than on the bottle. Sorry I didn't get to take a picture of this one in sunlight


Catherine H is a Wedgewood blue hue with pink and gold flecks.

All of these look different in different lighting. Under direct sunlight the flecks and shimmers show up pretty well. But if you're indoors it looks like your typical shimmers; however if you stare at it for awhile you'll notice the gorgeous gold and pink shimmers.

These were very opaque. All were done under two coats and a top coat. I had no problems with the applications, it was very smooth. Well worth $18 (in this case $72 for 4) out of my wallet. I love spending my money on polishes that are worth it.

My favorites would have to be Catherine H and Catherine. I like Anne too but Jane didn't really put much WOW for me.

Well that is all I have for today!

Something Really Old..

Hi all!

Vandaag heb ik iets voor jullie dat al ontzettend oud is; een van mijn nagellakken die ik vaak gebruikte voordat ik bijvoorbeeld het Fok! forum of Makeupalley had ontdekt! Dit was mijn favoriet toentertijd en ik dacht dat het wel leuk zou zijn om deze uit mijn Helmer op te diepen :).

Today I have something that is really old (at least, to me and my stash!); one of my favorite polishes that I used very often, before I discovered the Fok! forum or MUA! This was my favorite then and I thought it might be fun to share it with you and dig it out of my Helmer :).



Miss Sporty 112, drie laagjes. De bovenste foto is genomen zonder direct zonlicht, de tweede is genomen met zonlicht. 112 is een donkere nude shimmer met foily finish. Nude is niet echt mijn ding nu, maar doordat deze lak shimmer bevat en een foily finish heeft, was ze toch interessant. Het flesje is bijna leeg zoals je kunt zien haha. Ik heb hier ontzettend vaak mee gelakt en toen ik laatst keek of ze nog een flesje hadden, zag ik dat ze inmiddels andere kleuren hebben, met dezelfde nummers als hier in mijn Helmer staan. Jammer! Applicatie is ok, maar droogtijd is niet zo best in vergelijking met OPI en China Glaze. De lak droogt langzaam. Maargoed, het was wel weer even een uitstapje..

Miss Sporty 112 (old version), three coats. The first picture is taken without direct sunlight, the second picture is taken in sunlight. 112 is a slightly darker nude shimmer with a foily finish. I don't really like nude, but I loved this one before I discovered the whole world of nail polish. The bottle is almost empty as you can see! I used it so much.. I went to the store to see if they had this, but they have new colors under existing numbers. Pity! Application is ok, but drying time is bad in comparison with OPI and China Glaze. The polish dries sloooooow. Anyway, it was fun to go down Memory Lane..


Just spicing it up with a coat of Essie Matte About You. It gives a satin finish and I like this better than shiny.. At least, for now. Maybe it's because I've had this polish since like forever.

What are the oldest polishes in your stash? Do you still remember your first polish? Do you still have it? Do you sometimes dig it out of your Helmer/other storage?

Thanks for stopping by!
