Rimmel London

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all having a great day. I feel like it’s a while since I really got down to doing some nail art, and ‘nail art inspired by nature’ is something that I’ve had in the back of my mind for a long time. There’s so many beautiful colours and patterns that you can see in the natural world that can be just breathtaking, or funky, or plain weird… I decided to ease myself into it with a simple one, for today.

Hey everyone! Bit of a long post today, so grab a cuppa! Rimmel were kind enough to send me the whole new Rita Ora Collection, which is super duper exciting for me!! Rimmel are always fantastic for creating staple shades which look great alone or as underwear for a glitter, so they are must-haves in my eyes, and this collection is no exception. I have to confess to not knowing a lot about Rita herself, other than that she’s a British singer songwriter with a much-envied style! She apparently created these shades and named them which is pretty cool 🙂 the names are a little risqué, but you know how I like raunchy polish names! Such fun, in the words of Miranda’s mother!

These polishes are all in the 60 seconds range, which means they should be touch dry within 60 seconds. Great if you’re in a rush, as long as it does actually dry in that time! I have to mention the packaging quickly – I just adore the pop-arty stamps on the brush handles, and I especially love the fact that the background on each stamp matches the colour of the polish in that bottle, as well as the nails on the stamps too… it’s the little things!

Hello everyone!! So a really exciting package came through the post this morning from Rimmel 😀 it contained the new Sweetie Crush collection and the new Rita Ora collection (more on that one soon!) and this lovely little set of biscuits – a big smile was painted on my face and I got right to work!

I hadn’t heard much about the Rimmel Sweetie Crush collection before today, but I can tell you that it’s a collection of 5 gorgeous sweetie-inspired textured polishes, all in lovely Spring/Summer shades! I have to say I love the packaging too… the cute retro sweet-shop awning on the caps is just adorable!
