NOTD: Rimmel 320 Rapid Ruby... + Review

 Previously swatched once in a haul post...



One coat...


Two coats...

- super fast drying time - extremely quick!
- large brush application that was rounded & easy to work with
- the pics of the 2 coats is after 1.5 days of wear... the tips were already werely out

Would I repurchase?
I really like the colour, but the formula kinda sucks... I mean, I put Seche Vite Top Coat on it and the tips still wore out like crazy after only 1.5 days of wear! I have since passed this on the my mother who likes the color & is not really picky about formulas! So... no... and even though the line is very tempting due to the quick drying time I think I will avoid it... the Lycra long wearing one seems alright though, hey? I have one of them... need to wear soon!


What do you think of Rimmel nail polishes? Yay or nay?

NOTD: Zoya Melodie over Rimmel 365 Beige Style + Nail Temp. 'Tattoos'!

Rimmel Rimmel 365 Beige Style Nail Polish
Drugstore purchase (Priceline!)

One Coat

 Two Coats


One coat of Zoya Melodie (swatched below... over Rimmel's Beige Style)


The brush applicator of the Zoya nail polish


Zoya Melodie swatched


The two nail polish colors swatched side by side...

Rimmel - 2 coats
Zoya - 3 coats


Review of the Rimmel Nail Polish in Beige Style

- like the colour - nice office color
- neutral goes-with-anything shade
- the application is okay - quite smooth
- the drying time was alright, the surface dried relatively quickly, but only with the first coat, it took longer for the 2nd coat to dry

Would I repurchase?
Not in this shade (how long will it take me to finish a bottle?), but I would be willing to try other Rimmel nail polishes in the future

Price?
AU$5 from Priceline (on sale!! :D)



Review of Zoya Nail Polish in Melodie
- The brush applicator is too small for my liking
- Not very opaque (kind of like Essie Nail polishes, however, the drying time is worse!)
- The formula is not my cup of tea...
- Nice shade
- Too much hassle applying because drying time sucks & it is quite translucent (in re: to Essie - not opaque but at least drying time isn't too bad! & I like the formula & application more than Zoya)

Would I repurchase?
No. I am not interested in any other Zoya nail polishes at this time either! I hate waiting for nail polish to dry! Guess I am too impatient? Maybe I got a dud bottle?


TEMPORARY TATTOO NAIL ART TUTORIAL

This was gifted to me by one of my sister-in-laws in Vietnam...



So, what you do is...


1. Take the plastic sleeve off
2. Sumerge in water for about 1-2 minutes


3. Remove it from the water and take it off and...
4. Place on finger nail!



5. Put a top coat over it! I used Seche Vite.



What do you think of nail art & nail tattoo thingies!? I think the nail tattoos look better than nail stickers because the surface is smoother! The application isn't too tricky either! :D

What have you got on your nails?
