Tired it: Rimmel, 60 seconds, in Blue Eyed Girl (231)

This was a dream to apply, completely opaque it two coats, the wide brush sped up the process, and it's SUPER affordable (I've always seen it for $1.50). I've been really getting into deeper, bolder colors recently... yes I'm ready for fall... :) It wore really well, had one small chip a few days in, but another coat on that nail solved that problem, lickety-split. :)

Color: A
Application: A+
Wear: A++

Tried it: NYC, In a New York Color Minute, in Hamptons Peach (267)

I have a love/hate relationship with this polish... I simply LOVE the color, and will wear it again for that very reason, but to get to the point of it being completely opaque takes 3+ coats... I prefer not to spend that much time doing my nails. Plus, the brush is kinda small, not one of those nice new wide brushes... but like I said, the color makes it worth it. It's a lovely nudey peach with a cream finish, so flattering to my skin tone, fresh and feminine. :) I've been wearing it for 3 days now, and so far only minimal wear... other then the application, I thrilled with this polish.

Color: A+
Application: C
Wear: B+

Tried it: Rimmel, 60 Seconds in "Caramel Cupcake"


Seriously, my favorite polish line. As you can see, it's practically the exact color of my skin, which I love for a sleek, ladylike look. Everything that I like in one polish! Here I am also wearing Revlon's ColorStay topcoat, and it's been three days, looken good!

- Opaque in two coats
- Wide brush (Essential for ease of application)
- AWESOME price! (1.50 at Walmart)

Tried it: Rimmel, Lasting Finish PRO in "English Rose"


Rimmel has it going on in the nail-polish department!

Another favorite. I pretty much love every color in this line, and this dusty rose makes me think spring!

✓ Opaque in two coats! (A must for when I do my finger nail, I simply don't have patience for any more.)
✓ Not too goopy, or too thin
✓ Wide "Pro" brush!
✓ Sleek, square bottle. (Definitely a pro if you like to see them all in a stream line row...)  ☺

In regards to it being "Long Lasting", can't say it lasts any longer for me then any other polish.

It Works! Nail-polish painted bobby-pins...

Easiest DIY ever! Way easier then painting my nails...


(by the way, this was two coats)

Came across this awesome idea on Pinterest! (where else?!?!)
