Rimmel Salon Pro Nail Polish in Soul Session, Punk Rock, Hot Gossip and Barmy Blue

When I think "Lycra", nail polish isn't quite the first thing that comes to mind.. (there's also a mascara with Lycra). So what added benefit does Lycra have in nail polish? The Rimmel Salon Pro Nail Polishes with Lycra ($5.95) is meant to be a base coat, top coat, and gel colour all in one for the fraction of the price. 


The Good: Glorious colour payoff in 1-2 coats with a glossy gel-like finish. Stunning colours (including two Kate Moss collabs). The brush is flat and wide, allowing for quick 3-swipe application. Plus, the polish is fully dry in less than 10 minutes after application, which means that I can paint my nails before bed without worrying about sheet marks on my nails!

The Bad: The only caveat for this polish is the wear-time. My nail activity on a scale from 1 to 10 is probably a 10 - I do a ton of typing and cooking daily, a true test of the longevity of a polish. Unfortunately, the Rimmel Salon Pro polishes don't quite make the cut. On day 2, the tips are severely chipped. The product claims to last 10 days, but I'm not so sure about that. 


237 Soul Session (the chic nude)


711 Punk Rock (the rebellious blue grey)


323 Hot Gossip (the red with a sprinkle of glitter)


447 Barmy Blue (the ocean blue)


I had very high hopes for this polish (especially when it has Kate Moss's stamp of approval/endorsement). The colours translate beautifully onto the nails and it's so shiny there's no need for a top coat, but it's such a shame that the formula doesn't last a couple days longer. 

Have you tried the Rimmel Salon Pro Nail Polishes?
