Review: Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Varnish

Left to right; 825, 703, 842 and 503

 

I only own four of the Rimmel 60 Second nail varnishes, ; 703 White Hot Love, 503 Mind the Gap, Victoria ,842 Too Cool To Tango and 825 Sky High.

The formula of them are pretty similar and only need one coat although 825 is slightly watery so you have to use an extra coat. They all dry in 60 seconds as the label says which I find very useful as when I apply nail varnish I always realise I need to do something, so they are dry before I smudge them.

As you can tell from the colours I own, I mainly like to paint my nails in shades of blue. My favourite colour from the ones I own is 503 Mind The Gap, Victoria. It is a lovely cornflower blue which I find myself wearing more and more during the summery weather we are experiencing.

These nail varnishes are perfect for when your about to go out but need to paint your nails as they dry so fast. I also find the normal Rimmel nail varnishes dry relatively fast compared to other nail varnish brands, e.g. Barry M and Essie.

 

 

One thing that makes me love these nail varnishes more than other brands are the brushes, which Rimmel call the 'Xpress Brush' which are advertised to produce a 1 second application time.They are really fat so you can easily cover the whole nail in one go (and your thumb in two) so it can take one second although to achieve a perfect the nail it may take longer . Another benefit over other brands is that they are quite cheap, as they are sold at £3.69 at Boots and are frequently on a 3 for 2 offer.

Overall I think Rimmel have successfully made very quick drying nail varnishes which come in multiple colours with cute names. I would recommend these to everyone and hope to buy more colours soon.

Hopefully you enjoyed this review and found it useful.
