Rescue Beauty Lounge: Santa Fe

This has just become Rescue Beauty Lounge week for my blog.  I received my package last Wednesday.  Since it's my busy season, I have been staying over at my brother's house because it was closer to work.  On Wednesday, I felt sick so I went home.  When I got home, I found my package and I was really excited.  Usually I'm always excited to receive new packages, but that day I was more excited.  Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes are pretty expensive because of the shipping cost.  So, if I decided that I want to buy some, I would have to make one big purchase, and also make sure that I really want that colour.  Anyway, after I made my first purchase with two from the BiB4 and Faraway from GOMM, I've been looking at the other polishes.  I found out more about the GOMM collection and how it'll never be brought back once the polishes are sold out.  


Anyway, the next polish I really wanted was Santa Fe and Ghost.  I wasn't going to just buy two polishes though, so when the pre-order came for Emoting Me, I had to add these two into my cart.  I would have added Poppy but I don't wear reds often.  Online pictures of Poppy are very pretty though.

Thoughts
The formula for me was pretty thick, but it was easy to apply.  I thought it was mainly opaque after one coat but I added a second coat just to even it out, but it didn't really need it.  The green shimmer is very fine and isn't that noticeable. It's more noticeable in the sunlight.  This type of orange is pretty unique.  Usually oranges are coral or bright.  If I could be similar to the describe from the RBL website, it does remind me of earthy oranges.

Although this is not part of the new collection, I think this is my favourite out of my haul.  From the Facebook update, this is on the running low list. I'm so happy it was available during the pre-order.
