GOT Polish Challenge: Graphic Lilies With Rescue Beauty Lounge

Hi everyone! I'm trying once again to do the GOT Polish Challenge. If you aren't familiar with it, GOT stands for "Golden Oldies Thursdays." Basically you use something from your stash that is at least a year old. I've started this challenge three times and dropped out after the first two or three prompts. So maybe this time will be a winner!

Rescue Beauty Lounge Aqua Lily

Today's prompt is turquoise, and I had so many great choices, but in the end I went with Rescue Beauty Lounge's Aqua Lily. It's closer to a teal, but still within the turquoise family I think. I bought this beauty when it was rereleased sometime last year, and it sat in the untried pile until now! Shame!

Read on to find out my thoughts on this polish and the nail art I did with it.


About Aqua Lily: This was one of those polishes that I HAD to have the moment I first saw it. I don't often go gaga over a polish, so that has to tell you something. It has a very rich turquoise/teal colour with a noticeable purple shimmer. I love the shimmer - it's really fine and delicate, and makes this polish so unique.

The formula was excellent. It's on the thin side, but it's not sheer. It builds up to full coverage in 2-3 coats. I really have no issues to report with this polish - it applied like a dream!

About this design: I decided to do some lilies, so original, eh?! ;) I painted them with black and white acrylic paint - starting with the black to build up the flowers, then adding the white last for the highlights.

The tiny studs are from a Vancouver-based shop called The Nail Room - they specialize in Japanese nail art supplies. Aren't they cute?

I wanted to create a graphic/drawing-like look with the lilies. I still need some practice, but I think I'm headed in the right direction.

Let's hear from you:
What do you think of this? Do you own Aqua Lily, and if so, do you love it as much as I do?
