Color Me Bad


I like good deals when it comes to beauty products, so I mostly shop for my make up at the drug stores. The same goes for nail varnishes. I love Essie and OPI, but at $10 a pop, I needed to find a more affordable option. Cue in Rimmel's Lasting Finish PRO nail polishes. I am a HUGE FAN of this line. They have a good range of colors, they last for at least 7 days with very minimal chipping, and they go on smoothly when applied.


These nail polishes usually retail at $4.99 to $5.99 a piece, but they often go on sale for $2.99. My first purchase was the middle bottle, Steel Grey, which I thought was a great dupe for Chanel's Particulière. Since then, I never looked back and I've been buying nail polishes from this line every time a new color trend kicks in :) 

I love the thin yet dense brush applicator. Two coats are all you need to get the true color :)

I am not sponsored by Rimmel or anything to do this post. I simply wanted to share my positive experience with these nail polishes. I've tried Revlon, Sally Hansen, and Maybelline, but Rimmel is by far my favorite! What's your favorite drugstore-brand nail polish? :)

I have to admit, I'm an Opi girl. Though I'll grab Nicole by Opi at Shoppers which isn't as expensive. I'm at a computer all day so when a nail polish lasts several days without chipping I'm impressed!

I haven't tried Rimmel yet. Will have to try them now! I've been loving Revlon nail polishes so far though!

I'm SOO on board with you on this! Rimmel is my ABSOLUTE favorite! I used to use OPI, and same problem, it was just too expensive! I usually treat myself to a new color once every 3 months (gettin ready for the next season). Gotta say, the french manicure is WONDERFUL. A classic that's always a good choice ;)But my #1 fav color is "Gold Silk".
