Rescue Beauty Lounge Halcyon - Swatches and Review

I initially wasn't going to get any of RBL's Fan Collection but I'm ending up with three of the four. Best laid plans...Hahaha!

I really didn't think I would like Halcyon. Rather, I didn't think it would like ME. I always love greens. There are a few shades that don't really love me though. But once I got it and saw the duochrome (pink/copper) shimmer in it, I had to try it out.

Rescue Beauty Lounge Halcyon is a gorgeous sage green with lots of shimmer. The application was smooth and easy and fully opaque in two coats. My issue with this one is that it's not self-leveling and it's sort of a pain to apply. (And this one is still available as I type this...for NOW. But they are Limited Edition so if you want it, hurry!) It was difficult to capture the duochrome qualities of the shimmer but in person it's not difficult to see at ALL. It shifts from pink to copper!

I'd been asked several times how it compares to Zoya Gemma, so I'm including this quick shot here for you. As you can see, they're totally different.

As mentioned earlier, this is a Limited Edition polish (Two of the four in the collection have already sold out!) so if you want it, head on over to Rescue Beauty Lounge PDQ! Retail is $20.00.

What do you think? Which was your favorite of the four L.E. Fan Collection polishes?
