The theme in today’s FingerFood’s Theme Buffet challenge is fishtail. Now to some people, fishtail means a braided pattern, and to others it means a curved chevron French tip sort of design. I’ve gone with the latter (as it’s easier – ha ha), but I have done braided nails before. I started with a base […] Read more
It’s time for a random untried in the Never-ending Pile challenge. And I’ve used two for this one! My first untried is the purple: Rimmel Purple Reign. It’s a lovely shade of purple that has an almost imperceptible gold shimmer to it. You can only see it really close up and it doesn’t seem to […] Read more
I’ve actually followed the proper rules for today’s Golden Oldie Thursday (GOT) Polish Challenge. Up until now, I have been using untried polishes, despite the idea about the GOT Polish Challenge being that you showcase not-used-in-a-long-time polishes. So for today, I’ve chosen Rimmel Rapid Ruby as my base colour. It was one of the first […] Read more
As we get closer to Valentine’s, it’s no surprise that this week’s theme in the FingerFood’s Theme Weeks challenge is hearts. I’m doing the Week Of Love Valentine’s challenge starting tomorrow too, so there are going to be lots of red, pink and lovey-dovey manicures coming up! The pink nails are three coats of Rimmel […] Read more
I had a lovely manicure planned for Day 30 of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. It would have used seventeen different polishes! But, I hadn’t had time to make a start on it until today, so I decided that, on top of all the work I have to do today, my complicated manicure […] Read more
Today in the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge it’s art with the colour you own the most of. (Ooh, a terminal preposition. The pedant in me would shout “bad grammar”! I’ll let it pass 😉 ) I own more blues than anything else. At current count, 87 of my 393 polishes are blue. That’s […] Read more
I’m self employed, and run a couple of companies, one of which is teaching marketing courses. At a workshop last week, one of my delegates was wearing a lovely polish. I asked her what it was and she said it was Rimmel, but wasn’t sure what the name was. In the evening after the course, […] Read more
I own 11 different pillar box/London bus plain reds. Four of these I’ve not yet tried. But so far, L’Oreal Rouge Cancan and Revlon All Fired Up have been my favourites. Rimmel Double Decker Red doesn’t quite beat either of those for me. It’s a lovely colour and the application of the polish is great, […] Read more
I bought this polish quite a few months ago now, and loved it so much I thought I would wear it straight away. But I bought it near the beginning of my polish obsession, when I was buying so much polish it seemed I’d never wear all of it! (And that still seems quite a […] Read more
