Rescue Beauty Lounge Bring It Back Spam

       Tomorrow is Rescue Beauty Lounge's second Bring it Back vote, which is an opportunity for all polish fanatics to get together and bring back three discontinued RBLs from the dead. I have a few of the contenders in my stash, and decided to make a little post featuring all of them. Hopefully, this will help some folks who are still on the fence about which ones to pick.


First up, we have Scrangie.


Scrangie is hard as hell to photograph, so the picture doesn't do it justice at all. I hate Scrangie for that.  Anyway, It's much prettier in person...the shimmer is stronger than how it looks here.

A closer look at Scrangie's shimmer. 

Next is Recycle.


I love Recycle. It's the perfect forest green creme. 
Although I admit that I'm surprised to see it in the running. I thought it was a core color. Are there no RBL core colors? Honestly, I think that Ji should bring it back regardless of how the vote goes. I feel like Recycle is such an RBL staple, you know? 

Third is Catherine:





Closer look at Catherine's shimmer.


Bottle pic.
    Catherine is pretty, and in the right light, you can get lots of pop from all the colors of shimmer. However, I found it to be rather flat in a multitude of other lighting conditions, which keeps me from loving it completely. 

And then we have Anne:




Closer look at Anne's shimmer. You may have to enlarge this to see, but there's pink stuff in there.

    Anne is gorgeouss....I love the contrast of the pink and gold shimmer against the murkiness of the base, and I like that it always has some depth, no matter what the light is. I went back and forth on buying this, but I will always be grateful that I sucked it up and bought Anne when I did. 

Next we come to Frugalista:


 I'm a sucker for glitterbombs, and Frugalista is a really nice one. The color scheme is elegant and fashionable,    and in sunlight, my nails explode into sparkles.

Lastly, we have Locavore. It's last because it's the best. ^_^



Locavore is the love of my nail polish life. Like, if I could marry a polish, Locavore would be a serious contender. It's so pretty and blingtastic, and the colors in it are amazingg. This gorgeous guy was brutally beaten and ROBBED in the last vote, but hopefully, history shan't repeat itself.  

Ooh, last minute addition. Starfish Patrick is also coming to the party!


This beauty is one of my favorite RBL's. Love it!

And that is it! Personally, I'm hoping to see Anne, Locavore, and Recycle as the winners, although I would also accept 360, Moxie, or Frugalista in Anne or Recycle's place. Locavore  is non-negotiable. 
Do youuu know who you're gonna vote for? O_O

I don't own any RBL polishes yet... but if I did I'd definitely want Anne in my collection :)

In that case, I do hope that it gets to come back. I really think it's a great color and my favorite from this collection.
Ahh. I went back & forth about buying Anne too but I finally did. I haven't really had the chance to wear it yet though.. I think maybe I'll wear that today!!!

LOL I remember that! You had the epic battle of wills right on my wall.
If you wear it, make sure you take pictures! Or I'll be mad at you. D<
I have to admit, I usually don't feel too bad about not buying RBL cause I just don't have $18 for ONE bottle of polish. But Scrangie is one of the few I would pay that much for. Every picture, yours included, that I've seen of it is gorgeous.

Girllll, you know I don't have no money for that either. If not for the 50% off sale last year, I would have exactly 0 RBLs. Or maybe just Locavore, because I got that from someone else.
Anyway, if you do get scrangie, I hope you like it as much as others...personally, I wouldn't pay 18 bucks for it.
I want Recycle, Anne, and Locavore! I feel kind of apathetic though, so I'm not sure if I plan on voting. Do you want anything from the last BiB? I was thinking purple haze, but it seems kind of boring with all the other pale purples out there right now.

lol, well just vote anyway. Let your voice be heard, girl.

The only one I want from the last vote is Bikini Bottom. That vote annoyed me so much...Bruised? Black Russian? Purpe Haze?! Like forreal, all those choices and that's what people wanted?
They aren't ugly colors, but come on son...there were better choices.
This. I was disappointed with the previous winners, too. I need Locavore, so I hope that wins. And, an older post of yours made me rush out to get Recycle. So, thanks for that. Because I certainly never expected that it would ever be discontinued. To me, it's the quintessential RBL color. Lastly, I have to say I never had any desire for Starfish Patrick until your swatch today.
Lol, me too...I'm already disappointed with how this vote is going as well, because Jane is so far up there. How do you pick Jane when there's Locavore to be had? Even Moxie is worthier than Jane. Ugh, why are people so boring?! -__-

And girl, we are so &gt;here&lt; on Recycle. I think Ji is awesome and I love how she runs RBL. Generally, when she does stuff, I agree with her decisions. But this Recycle thing is a mistake.
I'm happy that you were able to snatch it up in time though, and I hope that it satisfied you well. ^_^

LOL, poor starfish patrick. Nobody loves him.
From your swatches, I want Recycle. Badly. Even though it's probably easily dupeable. It's a gorgeous colour and I don't actually own any RBL so yeah, that'd get my vote. That and Scrangie? Catherine looks gorgeous in the bottle but isn't quite as interesting on the nail.

That's like the creepy thing about Recycle though...it looks so normal, but I really don't think that there is anything quite like it. In all the green cremes I've seen, I've never seen a dupe. It's so freaking weird, but that's what makes it so kickass.
I agree with you about Catherine.
They definitely have to bring Anne back!!!! >.<

LOL that would be satisfactory, yea verily.
I'm a definitely voting for Locavore! I'm also planning a post telling other people that they should, too. :)

Yeahhh team Locavore!! *does a belly bump*
And it's good that you're gonna tell people to vote for it. People listen to you.
I really like Scrangie and Catherine. I actually don't own any RBL polish yet :$ I keep seeing ones I like, but for some reason I haven't managed to pull the trigger yet (well it is probably the $18 price tag, but I seem to manage to buy a ton of $10+ ones!).

LOL me too, but you know...there's a big difference between a 10 - 15 dollar polish and an $18 one.
Or at least that's what I tell myself.
Well my dear, it looks like you're in luck, because Anne and Scrangie are doing really well!
I'm not that excited about Scrangie, but still, I say Yayness for you! :D

Ahahaha poor Locavore. Well now you know, and knowledge is power! *jumps into freeze frame*
i can't decide. i like them all. ALL of them. i really do. argh so hard.
