Rimmel Pro- Anti Fade Colour system

Rimmel is one of those classic British brands, its a make up brand that I have used for many (many) years, so when I saw the Rimmel Pro on offer 2 for £6 in my local boots I snapped a couple up. I grabbed the 5 in 1 base and top coat and Ultra Violet. Ultra Violet is one of those colours that jumped out at me, I do have a few other purple colours but this is a beautiful light purple and as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted it. 

  The new maxi brush that comes with it makes it really easy to apply, so the application is even and to be honest 1 coat would of been fine but I like to do 2. I also noticed that it said on the bottle that it was anti-fade and also up to 10 days wear. I didn't have it on for 10 days, i had it on for 3 but i had no chips and i didn't even use a topcoat. It costs £4.59 at Boots Here but is well worth the price and its a great colour for the summer.

Skittle nails

Sometimes I struggle to decide on what colour to paint my nails, so instead of having to settle on just one colour, I used 5. I always find that when i do paint my nails all different colours it cheers me up and makes me smile, which is great for when the weather is miserable like today, and its one manicure that I always seem to get compliments on. For this mani i used Models Own, Barry M and Rimmel.



From left to right, Models Own Nude Beige, Barry M Mint Green, Barry M Bright Pink, Rimmel Ultra Violet, Models Own Blooboo. I also used Rimmels 5 in 1 base and top coat.
All the polishes applied smoothly and evenly, but both Barry M mint green and Models Own blooboo needed 3 coats to get the full effect while the other polishes just needed the 2 coats. All polishes are available from bootshttp://www.boots.com/ with the Models Own polishes £5 each, the Rimmel polish £4.59 and the Barry M polishes £2.99. In my opinion all are worth the money and I am sure I will be using the polishes a lot over the summer come sunshine or rain.
