Product Review and NOTD - Rimmel Sky High Nail Varnish

Hi everyone!
I was naughty and bought a new nail varnish today, I really fancied a summery turquoise nail varnish. So we popped down to Morrisons and found just what I was looking for at the Rimmel stand.


Sky High is a gorgeous creamy turquoise/teal shade and it's part of Rimmel's 60 Seconds nail varnish range. It costs £2.99 and you get 8ml of product, so pretty cheap. :)


I was really happy with my purchase until I applied it, the first coat was soo sheer, the second was very streaky and uneven. By the time I applied the third coat it had started to even out a bit and was nice and opaque. Unfortunately the nail varnish went all blobby and uneven on my little finger. :(
I applied some Seche Vite top coat and the pictures above show the results.

Summary
Pros - Lovely colour, a nice creamy finish and very summery.
Cons - The application is awful!
Marks out of 10 - 6/10


I was so disappointed with the application of this nail varnish, especially seeing as I have some of the other shades of nail varnishes from the same range and they're lovely to apply and very opaque after one coat. I will use this nail varnish again, but only when I have some patience to put up with the formula :)

Thanks for reading,
Jess

  3. Maybe trying painting a layer of clear nail varnish first, I'm absolutely awful at painting my nails and I find this gives me a smoother base :).
    The colour is beautiful though! x
