A few of you have asked what nail color I was wearing last Sunday. It’s Rescue Beauty Lounge in Bruised ($18), a beautiful cream mauve plum. Unfortunately it’s currently sold out online, most likely due to the recent holiday 5-hour sale. I don’t believe it’s a limited edition color so it should be available for purchase. I’ve been in love with this color ever since I first got it back a few months ago. Rich color, opaque finish, smooth texture. You do need 2 coats to get full coverage but I find most of the Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes to be similar in quality as Chanel’s recent colors (Rouge Fatale, Riviera, Khakis etc.) which I love.
I thought I would have more creamy non-shimmer plums but it appears that most of my plums are more on the vampy side (versus mauve-plum). Here it is compared to a few other shades. I’m sure there’s a dupe from OPI or Zoya, I just haven’t found one with quite the same undertone.
L to R: OPI Yankee Pankee Plum, OPI Queen of West Web-erly, RBL Bruised, RBL Moulin Rouge

It's gorgeous 🙂
Beautiful color!! Neverb tried any polish from this brand.
Thanks for letting us know what color that was! I was admiring that during your post. I was planning to get Bruised during the sale and logged on about 11:04 to order it and it was already sold out! Bummer! I purchased Moulin Rouge and Coral instead. Thanks for all your great posts. You keep me up to date.:)
Do you think it looks like the new one from MAC – Sly as a Fox?
That's the color I was trying to buy on Monday…was so sad that it sold out within 20mns of the sale. I got Drifter, Stormy and Film Noir instead. I almost got Moulin Rouge – it's pretty. Maybe I'll add it along Bruise when it's back in stock.
What happened to Killa Red? Did it get discontinued?
Thanks for showing me what Bruised looks like in person…it's lovely and I want it even more now. It's the perfect plum for me!

Oooh, I am such a sucker for plums and wines! Your swatches made me want to go out and buy them all! 😉
