Pretty Names, Pretty Polishes

Rimmel Salon Pro Nail Polishes - £4.49 each

   (L-R) Reggae Splash, Soul Session, Navy Seal

Nail polishes are slowly but surely becoming a weekly purchase for me. I don't think there's been a single time I've been into Boots in the past six months when I haven't spent ages at the nail polish displays, lusting after all the colours and then eventually buying at least one.

I'd never really ventured into the Rimmel range for nail polishes before; Essie and Models Own seem to have everything covered usually but once I saw this range from Rimmel and Kate Moss, I knew I'd have to have a cheeky look. There are 32 shades in all, ranging from Punk Rock (a purpley/grey) to Reggae Splash (pictured above, an in-your-face peachy/orange), so there are plenty of colours to choose from.

I wanted to try out SO many colours, but the three pictured above caught my eye straight away. Reggae Splash is, as I've said, a gorgeous peachy/orange, perfect for a statement in the summer months, Soul Session is a toned down neutral colour, great for a 'I've had my nails done but I don't want it to be too obvious' look, and Navy Seal is a beautiful purpley/blue colour, which I think could go with any outfit or make-up.

The brush is pretty big, meaning it holds a lot of polish and, with the Navy Seal colour, you can get away with just one coat. With the other two, I'd recommend a second coat, so that there are no lighter patches and the vibrant colours come through. Rimmel claim the nail polish can stay chip-free for upto 10 days, which is definitely true! I had mine on for eight days without a single chip, and I am super happy with that - it means I don't have to keep touching them up all the time, a real time saver.

Overall, I'm really happy with these nail polishes. I'm currently eyeing up Brit Pop, which is an amazing sky blue, one I really want to try out for summer!
