Mani of the Week: Rescue Beauty Lounge Catherine H

Oh, Rescue Beauty Lounge. You do it to me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. My best friend, Katie, bought me Catherine H for my birthday -- and, as much as I love the color, it took me until now to finally use it! I kept looking at it, and looking at it, and looking at it, and ... well, you get the picture. It just seemed so beautiful and perfect that I didn't want to sully the bottle with actual use. Of course, that finally seemed crazy, so I opened it up and painted my nails with the polish last night.

Perfection in a bottle. Really and truly, the beauty knows no bounds. The polish applies like a dream, evenly in two coats (one is actually dark enough to cover the nail, but I like to do two for good measure). The hue is a gorgeous blend of purple and deep blue that reminds me of the sky as the sun is about to set. Gold and iridescent shimmer give it a unique quality. Interestingly, it actually looks more purple than blue to me, both in person and in photos -- but it's definitely Catherine H, not Catherine, which was the more purple of this collection. In any case, it's a keeper!
