Rimmel London 416 Night Flight

Just a prewarning – there are about 5 pics in this post because yours truly couldn’t decide which pictures best portrayed the colour – sorry!

3 coats of inky black beauty 😛 Now this polish certainly won’t be for everyone. Personally, I love it, because it’s like black with an edge, and I really really hate wearing plain black on my nails, it feels cheap and tacky and it’s messy and I just really really hate it, always have done, even in my emo/rock addict phase I just couldn’t bring myself to wear black nail polish. In fact I had a very similar polish at that stage called “Extreme Blackcurrant” by Maybelline which I adored, but since I’m now boycotting Maybelline I had to find an alternative, which is when I found Rimmel’s Night Flight 🙂 Enough of the life story now.

So if you haven’t already died of boredom… this polish is very streaky on the first coat, so definitely requires a second and if you’ve got time, a third will really set it off but you can get away with two. In fact the main reason I added a third coat is because my index and middle fingernails keep flaking off taking the polish with them but there you go, that’s another rambly story.

Night Flight dries in a good time, although I’d advise, for speed, that you apply the coats thinly. It applied smoothly, no complaints, and the finish was wonderfully glossy and beautiful. The only think I’d recommend you watch out for is how you paint near the cuticles because, as my photos exhibit, it’s lighter near the cuticles so mistakes and messiness are easily noticeable.

The polish, which I’m assuming all the Lycra Pro polishes have (?) is quite wide, it’s a bit longer than that of the Rimmel 60 Seconds range, and seems a lot easier to use in terms of neatness when applying.

Unfortunately, again, I can’t really comment on the wear of this polish as I only had it on for a day or two. I noticed a tiny bit of tipwear but I’m sure a topcoat would seal the deal 😛

Hope you are well everyone, I’m slowly getting into the habit of taking photos of my nails now – I have a lovely one coming up next 😉
