Rimmel - Coral Crush
This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). Both the brush and formula are good. It is a lovely pinky peachy colour with a great shimmer. It is really lovely and lasted really well.

This is an older polish, I have had it for a long time well over 15 years at least! It is a gorgeous red with a lovely shimmer and a one coater too! Super! Lasted really well.

Rimmel - Misty Jade
This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (4-5 minutes a coat). This is quite a sheer polish and requires at least 3 coats! The brush is really good and the formula, despite being sheer, does go on nicely. It is really a pretty green, I think. This lasted really well.

Rimmel Cheeky Chap
This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (3 minutes a coat). Make sure there is plenty polish on the brush or you will get the crackle/shatter effect!! So thick coats are the way forward with this polish. It is a nice enough chalky matte polish. Noticed slight tip wear, but last well otherwise.

Rimmel Love Bug
This is difficult to use, difficult to apply and quick drying (1-2 minutes a coat). It's really streaky and prone to bald patches. The brush is very thick, which is good because I would advise to keep brushstrokes to a minimum for better coverage. It's an okay yellow with a sorta matte chalky finish. Lasted well.
