HAPPY NEW YEAR!! *throws confetti* ^_^
Yep, it's the first day of a brand spanking new year and I'm still basking in that clean slate, anything is possible, it's a new year bitches feeling. Of course, being back in school will crush my spirit into a million sparkly pieces and extinguish all hope in my heart, but for now, I'm just gonna bask. :D
To celebrate this lovely day, I am wearing Look Rich, Be Cheap from Rescue Beauty Lounge's Spring Bling Collection.

Look Rich, Be Cheap is a bunch of small pale gold and amethyst hex glitter in a clear base. There's mostly gold glitter though.

Look Rich, Be Cheap is a little iffy to me. One on hand, I love how spangly it is. The glitter nicely catches and reflects light, and in sunlight, it has a really luxe feel to it. Also, I like the color scheme. The purple glitter gives little pops of color, and the contrast with the gold glitter is pretty.
However, the gold glitter itself is a bit of problem for me. I was hoping for a warmer, more classic gold. Instead, Look Rich, Be Cheap features gold glitter that is cooler in tone and actually looks a touch chartreuse to me. The shade of gold does lend the polish an extra dose of uniqueness, but at the same time, I think warm colors look better on me. Also, I hate chartreuse. Because of that, I probably won't wear this that much, although I don't regret purchasing.
Formula-wise, Look Rich, Be Cheap was fine. It went on smoothly and dried quickly. In the pictures, I used four coats of polish and I'm satisfied with the coverage that I got. There are still patchy bits, but you can only see them if you look closely. I also used one layer of topcoat over the polish, and my nails are still pretty textured. For a really smooth and glassy finish, I think one would need about three layers of topcoat, but I wasn't trying to do all that.
And with that, I am all done for today. I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Day!!
