Today I have Part 2 of the Rescue Beauty Lounge Je t’aime, Je’ t’aime! Collection to share. Part 1 was swatched and reviewed here with four shades. Two additional colors have arrived and I’ve been dying to share them with you for a few weeks but had to wait patiently to reveal them until today.
Combien? is a metallic gold-beige with flecks of champagne and silver shimmers. It dries to a semi-matte finish but still has some sheen to it once applied. There is a good mix of warm and cool making it a very wearable gold shimmer. There is a slight rosy hue to it which gives it warmth and prevents it from being too yellow. At the same time the silvery champagne colored shimmers add a complex twist and cool undertone to make it more neutral and refined.
Ji describes this as “Elegant and neutral, this beige-gold with a slight rose cast is not too shy to ask how much. This color is jammed-packed with sugary shimmer, but dries down to a matte for a tasteful bling-ness. Add a swipe of topcoat to amp up the bling factor.”
Swatched in direct sunlight below. Two coats will give you full opaque coverage. Application is very smooth and almost 100% streak free. There is some texture that is visible. This is applied without any top coat. Even though it has a more matte finish, I like that it’s not 100% matte.
In natural light the texture is more visible:
Trois Oignons Rouges is a jelly fuchsia purple that also has a matte finish which is really unique. Two coats will let the nail show through a little underneath but application is still very smooth and even. If you’re a fan of jelly cremes this will be right up your alley. It has a brightness to it which reminds me of summer, but it’s not screaming bright.
Ji describes this as “This was the first French phrase I strung together. Like the inside of red onions, this color is a cross between magenta and a toned-down fuchsia that dries to a chic matte. This application is so easy that you might want to try all of our other crème jellies. For ultra shine, use our legendary topcoat.”
Here’s a quick collage of the entire Je t’aime, Je’ t’aime! Collection (Part 1 Swatched here).
The colors will be available for pre-sale/early access today if you are signed up for the newsletter you should receive an early access link to buy. Colors will be available for everyone to purchase on Tuesday the 28th online via Rescue Beauty Lounge. Each polish retails for $20.
Did you order any of the colors from Part 1? Do any of the two remaining colors catch your eye?
The polishes were provided courtesy of Rescue Beauty Lounge for review.
the onion color looks nice but the formula looks uneven/ watery from your pictures. i have tom ford african violet so will prob pass– they look really similar, right? loved part 1 of the collection, though.
Hi Anonymous, I won't have time to pull comparisons, but you are right the colors are very similar. The difference is the RBL has more of a jelly finish with a matte texture if that makes sense while the TF is more opaque. But yes, based on comparing the two I think you are safe to pass if you want to avoid similar colors.
These colors are SO PRETTY! I need them both in my life stat.
So glad these two joined the collection. Loving Combien on you!

Beautiful swatches!
I got C'est Tout, which I adore. I find that when it comes to bright colors, RBL is OK, but when it comes to moody color melanges, they rule! I have a ton of greens, greys and silvers, but nothing else really like it. Plus, it lasted a week last time I applied it, which is pretty close to a miracle for me.
I Have C'est Tout and love it – I'm wearing it now as a matter of fact. These two are so pretty on you. I am definitely getting Combine? but I'm on the fence about Trois, I'm not sure I can pull it off because I am so fair.
Hi Jo, I completely understand your hesitation, if you're unsure I would say wait until more swatches surface online from other blogs.
Combien is soooo pretty. I like the color which is light and natural on nails. This is so perfect for everyday wear.
Hi Sabrina. Both those colors are beautiful. I would love to see comparisons of Trois Oignons Rouges with other polishes such as Tom Ford's Africa Violet. There is a really inexpensive drugstore version of this shade by Sinful Colors in Dream On (matte) that can be found just about anywhere, including Target and Ulta. I know you only feature upscale brands, but it'd be great to see that shade within the comparison as well, if you're willing to include it. Anyhow, I love your site and read it religiously. Thank you!
Thanks for the Sinful Colors tip! I'll be on the lookout.
Hi Melissa, unfortunately I don't have time to pull comparisons for this set but the colors are very similar. The difference is in the finish/texture. The RBL is a matte-finish jelly if that makes sense and is sheerer while the TF will give more opaque coverage. That being said it does seem to be more of a standard violet color that can be duped by other brands, the difference will be mainly in the brightness and finish.
Loved the Ah, Oui colour!
Lots of love, xx
