Rescue Beauty Lounge Jane

Jane is another of the Rescue Beauty Lounge 'The Housewives of Tudor England' collection. Like Jane Seymour, I find it a bit meh. It's a very pale dove grey with subtle beige/mauve undertones, and a subtle gold shimmer in the bottle that I've never managed to catch on my nails. I don't think it suits my pale olive hands at all; Anne looked much better on me (that post is here).

What it is good for is giving me excellent zombie hands. I watched episode one of the new The Walking Dead series with Mr London at the weekend (he's watching the rest of the series by himself, it gave me nightmares) and this is exactly the colour of zombie nails.

Look:
Beauty blogger, or undead minion? My best L4D pose. 
(The lovely bruises, which I think add to the effect, are from bare-knuckle fighting - should wear mitts!)

For a greige, I prefer Nubar Sandstone on myself. It's a touch deeper, has a bit more beige and mauve and the shimmer lifts it from the corpse-nail effect.

  1. I think if Jane Seymour were to walk around at night with the rest of the undead, she would wear this colour. Great review!

  2. I think Jane is supposed to be Opaque Nude 2.0. But Opaque Nude was a lot warmer. It doesn't look bad, but after you think Zombie, there's no going back. And it spooked me too.
    I think you would rock Bruised, it's a good Fall color. Or Om, that bad boy would flatter anyone. Just a thought, or two.

  4. I quite like how it looks, the undertones give it a little interest but agree I liked Anne better.
    I saw The Walking Dead too and they've really gone to town with the zombies - they are sooo creepy (that half one with the big eyes sliding across the ground was scary!).

  6. I actually like how it looks better in the bare knuckle fighting picture. It seems darker, less milky there. I definitely prefer slightly darker colours otherwise they seem to clash with skin tone. I look like the undead with Berry Ice Cream from Barry M. *shudder*

  8. Hello everyone - zombie nails were surprisingly well received ;)

    Hi Beanie - I have seen and lusted over Bruised on the website, love that kind of colour. Thanks for the recommendation, love the RBL formula.

    Meeta - I was terrified! I could barely look at the TV.

  9. I wasn't crazy about The Walking Dead either although I do like the way the polish looks on you.
