I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Rimmel Drop Of Sherry

To my knowledge, this is the oldest polish I own. I got it in the early 1990s. So it's about that old, I must have been about 10 or 11 years old when I got it - hehe clue to my age ;-)




This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 3 minutes for a coat - not bad for an older polish). Considering the age, it's in good condition. Not gloopy or anything. I usually take good care of my polishes hehe! The colour is okay. It is funny how my tastes have changed over the years! Lasted really well.

    I love seeing old polishes, and in my experience they work just as well as when they were new if you take good care of them, like you obviously did - thanks for showing it!

  2. I like watching older nail polishes. The Rimmel bottle looks so different and the nail polish looks well still.

  5. Whoa, Rimmel was around in the '90s? What a trip! It took them long enough to come stateside, lol. It's so fun, pulling out and wearing the oldies. I swear no one knew how to make anything beyond frosts for a while, though. lol.

    1. Me too! Things do change so much over the years! :-)

      I'm still unsure about bar glitter - some of it can be okay. :-)

    1. It really is a nice one. Something a bit different for the time! Do you remember those old Rimmel bottles haha! This one is still surviving in the Helmer.

    2. I don't think I had any from Rimmel back then, was mainly Barry M and La Femme. It's surviving well!

      Delete
    3. Wow early Barry Ms - do you have any photos on your blog of them? Never tried La Femme!

    4. I don't have any photos, didn't start blogging until 2010 which is a shame as retro bottles be good to look back on.
