Darling Diva: Rescue Me

You may remember the post I did a while back with the Home of the Brave polish from Darling Diva of which she donates 100% of the proceeds to Disabled American Veterans. Well, she's gone and done it again, only this special polish is for doggies, eeee!!

Basset Buddies Rescue (BBR) is an all volunteer group that rescues, fosters and places homeless basset hounds into loving, forever homes. If you want to read more about BBR, their website is http://bassetbuddiesrescue.org/basset/.

She chose this charity because they've helped her find three basset hound doggies to call her own and she has seen first hand how wonderful the BBR group is. Again, she is donating 100% of the proceeds for this polish.

Please show your love this Valentine's day by helping a good cause. :)


Rescue Me is a clear based glitter topper filled with hearts, squares, bars and tiny pink shimmer (love shimmer in polish like this!). I wore this over Revlon First Class which is a Target exclusive in the Top Speed line, however; I think it is very close in color to Superstitious.


Since it has bars, the dabbing method tends to work best for application, however; it can be applied in the usual way it just takes a little more brushing to even it out.


I think she's created a gorgeous polish for an awesome cause! What better way to celebrate Valentine's day?



Rescue Me can be purchased at Darling Diva's Etsy Shop or follow Darling Diva on facebook.
I noticed she is running a facebook special until her new collection launches Saturday - so be sure to use FACEBOOK15 if you're making a purchase at her shop today or Friday.

Pinks, oh my!

Color Club's I Believe in Amour is such a pretty shade of pink!

This is three coats plus topcoat. I wore this under The Polish Bar's By Starlight glitter topcoat.


I picked up this Love & Beauty polish at F21 a few weeks ago. The name on the label is Magenta and it has a sticker on the cap that says Raspberry. I didn't really notice whether it was scented because OMGLOOKATTHEPRETTYCOLOR! I fell hard and fast for this one! Two coats, like butter to apply and absolutely gorgeous to look at!
I wore this underneath The Polish Bar's Party Dress.

Urban Lacquer: a few core polishes

I have a few Urban Lacquer polishes (PR Samples) plus an untried mainstream to share with you today.

First is an untried polish called Gem Green from CQ. I picked this up probably a year or more ago. I haven't seen the brand around stores lately and I wonder if its still being made. Anyone know?
Pictured is two Coats; very easy to apply. Its kind of a sparse/scattered holo. It really needs bright sunlight to show the rainbow, but its a pretty shade of green indoors too.


I topped it with NaCl from Urban Lacquer. (italics are the shop's descriptions)
NaCl is a gorgeous, color-changing blend of white and iridescent glitter - 8 different glitters, to be exact. Looks beautiful over any base color! This formula is thick, and almost has a fluffy texture. It glides easily onto the nail, and is a wonderful addition to your winter polish collection!

I just love square glitter and this topper has plenty!

Little Black Undies (LBU) is a basic black polish that can be worn by itself, or under a glitter polish.

Two coats with topcoat and it was perfect!

But wait! How would it look with NaCl on top?

eeee! More squares! :D

Hurry Me Up is a unique blend of micro iridescent pink flakies, neon yellow hex glitter, and black shredded glitter in a clear base. Works best as a glitter topper, although can be worn alone, when applying 3-4 coats. The micro pink flakies will shift from pink to purple, and is a perfect "going out" polish!

Two coats of Hurry Me Up over Loreal Tea and Crumpets. Such a fun polish full of tiny shreds, pink glowy shimmer and teeny matte glitters! :D

Urban Lacquer has a lot of gorgeous polishes! You can follow or get yours at the links below. :)
