Rimmel Nail Varnishes (my first beauty post yay!)

Out of all beauty products, the one I can't resist is nail varnish, or polish if you're American. I've recently been more drawn to pastel colours, and if you're on a budget, Rimmel is a pretty good place to get them. A couple weeks ago I bought four nail varnishes in Superdrug (who had a buy two, get one free on all cosmetics deal going, which I'm not sure they have now, but if they do, get in quick!) and here they are!

As you can see, they're very pretty colours, and I recently wore the colour 704 called  "Sweet As Sugar" which is on the far left.

I absolutely love it, its like a cool greeny blue, the only criticism I have is that it requires two coats as it doesn't go on very evenly with just one and the colour comes out a lot better with the two coats. Usually with nail varnish I just put one coat on and I'm good to go, so its slightly more time consuming than other brands. 

About two weeks ago I tried out 705 in "Tangy Tangerine", and the colour came out quite nicely but it was a bit misleading as it looks slighter more pigmented than I would've liked, so I'll probably go out looking for a more understated one. Again it unfortunately wasn't great when it came to application and it ended up a bit messy, but I've since got the hang of it so my nails looked better with the second colour I tried out. Annoyingly I don't have a picture of the orange/blue nail varnishes actually on my nails as I had to quickly chip it all off during exams (A Levels, bleugh) and I haven't had a chance to reapply it, sorry about that!

I do recommend buying some Rimmel nail varnish as the colour range is pretty good and they're cheap, even though they do have a few flaws but it's still worth it!
