Rimmel - Golden Hour

 

Rimmel Golden Hour Nail Polish

Rimmel Golden Hour Nail Polish

This is easy to use, easy to apply and quick drying (1 minute a coat - the bottle does not lie). The brush is wide and good and the formula goes on well. It is a gorgeous bold orange with an amazing shimmer and it is a ONE COATER. It really does look like a sunset. This lasted really well.

Rimmel - Speed Dating

 



This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (4-5 minutes a coat). It's a rather old polish so I was impressed with the drying time, as older polishes take longer to dry in my experience. Both the brush and formula are really good. This has a lovely shimmer and is slightly iridescent too. This lasted really well.

Rimmel - Peppermint

 




This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3-4 minutes a coat). It is slightly streaky on the first coat but okay on the second and try to keep brushstrokes to a minimum. The brush is good and wide. It is a lovely minty colour. 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.

Rimmel Pulsating

This is a very old nail polish that has been well used ;-)




This is okay to use, okay to apply and really slow drying (10 minutes a coat). As mentioned above, it's really old and well used, so I think that might have something to do with it! The fill line is just about at 'Nail Polish'! It's quite gloppy too. I have 2 spares of this stashed away and I think they would have been better to use. The new versions are probably better! Lasted well.

Rimmel Green With Envy




This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (about 4 minutes a coat). I got this polish back in 2007! It's a gorgeous green colour with a very subtle blue shift. You can just about make the shift out! Lasted well.
