Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...my favourites has to be Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish. I never used to be a Rimmel fan and found the London brand to be unappealing, but in my quest to find a good chip-resistant polish this was recommended to me by a friend. She had bought it because of the price - it costs £3.99 for 12ml - and had been suprised by its durability and hard-wearing properties. I went to Boots where the full Lycra Wear range was on display. After battling my way through ...
...I now really like the Rimmel London brand and have bought other products in their make up range, all of which I've been more than happy with. This polish is exceptionally good and I've since bought more, even from the featured range. The best thing about Lycra Wear is that it enables you to wear a bright colour and not be worried about ugly chips forming. Indeed, this is one of the reasons I've been so hesitant to wear one. I have since worn a dark ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...to things. A while back Rimmel had an offer going where you could enter a competition to win one of three colours of nail varnish from the new range they have brought out. I entered and requested a deep red the other two were a peach and a pale pink neither of which are the kind of colours I tend to wear. At the beginning of last week I had a little jiffy bag come through the post and I opened it not knowing what it was going to contain as I had ...
...it is as good as Rimmel claim. <<<<>>>> Rimmels website says this about the new nail varnish range; “Introducing NEW Wear Maxx nail polish - for colour that goes the distance! With the shock-absorbent Xtra Life(TM) LYCRA(R), colour becomes unbelievably smooth, shiny and lasts up to 10 days.” It is a small bottle standing at 8cm high, including the 4cm long handle to the applicator brush. The bottle is nothing special at all, clear ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...varnishes from different brands, but Rimmel Nail polish is my favourite brand and one of the cheapest i have purchased. What I've found with rimmel nail polish is that the durability is amazing, when you apply it it says on for days without been chipped, and continues to stay shiny and fresh looking for days. The Application is as follows... It's Very easy to do I recommend that you that you apply the varnish by painting a strip in the middle of ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...but this is the only Rimmel product I own as I've always considered Rimmel as a bit of a 15 year old schoolgirls brand but this nail polish has changed my mind. Completely. Anyway, when I apply my nail polish it always irritates me that I have to sit around flapping my hands in the air while I'm waiting for it to dry. I can paint the nails on both of my hands in around three minutes so it bugs the hell out of me that I've got to wait longer than ...
...dry before you can say Rimmel Is For Kids.' Not in those words, but this is how my (rather strange) brain converted the message that Rimmel was trying to get across. I was sold. And having a glance at the little 8ml bottle I found that apart from drying in 60 seconds, I'd get perfect coverage in just one coat. Bonus! Definitely sold, all I had to do was choose which colour I wanted to try. And there are plenty of colours to choose from, my local ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...shades available 'Velvet Rose' from Rimmel came closest to what I wanted. === The packaging === The bottle that you can see on the third product photo is small, round and has a handle of about the same size with a normal, thin brush. The black handle (annoyingly and misleadingly) says 'Up to 10 days'. The number 10 is exaggerated while the 'days' are in smallprint. (Now I see why.) === Application === This brush is quite small and is the standard ...
...=== Conclusion === Rimmel Wear Maxx is the worst nail polish I had used and considering that I paid the same price for Wear Maxx as Maybelline Forever Strong (10ml) I'm using now. Wear Maxx hasn't lived up to half of its claims, which I find unacceptable. I would sort of accept this quality from some nail polish picked up at a car boot sale but not from one of the leading UK makeup brands. === Price / where to buy === Available at Superdrug, Boots, ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...control. ☼☼☼ What does Rimmel say? ☼☼☼ ~ hardwearing ~ chip resistant ~ long lasting colour §§§ My Experience §§§ My nails aren’t in a great state of affairs but given that all but my little finger nails have grown over recent weeks and following a brief trip to the sunnier climes of Italy, I thought I would ‘encourage’ myself to continue with the nail growth regime, hence the purchase of a few varnishes. ...
...almost like paint stripper! ~ Application …… * It has to be said that I’m not the world’s best at applying varnish, especially with my left hand. * Many may know that the correct way of applying varnish is to paint a strip in the middle of the nail and then two strips at either side. * The thick lid on the bottle is easy to grasp but a lot of varnish does come out on to the brush and as with many varnishes it is necessary to wipe some of the varnish ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...smaller than a standard size Rimmel bottle (12ml) and quite a bit smaller than other brands that are sometimes a bit bigger. There's the boring bit over. Now I can tell you about my lovely nails. Rimmel London (whose nail varnish is incidentally made in Spain!) is not a brand that I rate too highly in the cosmetics stakes. The make up is often a bit too cheap and "schoolgirly" although I know that they are trying to update their image! Basically ...
...same price as most other Rimmel nail lines (which come in bigger bottles) and less than the price of most other make up brands. (Spectacular and other teen brands often cost a lot less though). I have not seen two tone colours from other brands but I am sure that this is a very reasonable price for such a product. Personally I have no problem with the fact that this varnish comes in such a small bottle. I can't remember the last time I finished ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

I got my 60 seconds extreme nail varnish as part of a gift set (with an eye shadow and a wristband). I received this product for Christmas. About the Nail Polish --------------------- I received an 8ml bottle, in colour 875 Zeitgeist. On the back of the Nail Polish it claims to give 'perfect coverage in one coat. Dries in 60 seconds. Flammable.' Did it only need one coat? -------------------------- Well I applied one coat and let it dry and ...
...But in one cost the colour was faint and barely shimmered so I applied a second coat. This then allowed the colours to reflect off the light but took longer then 60 seconds to dry. Did it dry in 60 seconds? ------------------------- The first coat did dry in 60 seconds but as I stated above this dried faintly any you could not see the shimmering effect of the colours. So when you applied the second coat this took longer then 60 seconds to dry ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...really good quality. I chose Rimmel because I already buy some of my makeup from there and there was a 3 for 2 offer on in Boots on the Rimmel counter. I’d heard that the Lycra wear range is supposed to be really good and as well as lasting ages they prevent nails from breaking while it is on. It costs £4.50 for the bottle when you buy it from Boots which I think is a reasonable price. '''Packaging…''' The bottle is quite straightforward, it is ...
...labels. The bottle has the Rimmel logo printed in white and again the Lycra logo beneath this. '''The Nail Varnish…''' The first thing I notice about nail varnish is how good the brush is, and I was really impressed with this one. The brush is quite small but a fan shape which means you can cover the whole nail in one sweep. This makes it a lot easier and quicker to apply as well as making a smooth finish, rather than when it goes streaky looking. ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...silver writing that it is Rimmel 'London' Lycra Wear and that it lasts up to 5 days and is super durable polish and the colour is stated (in my case the colour is Grape Sorbet, 307). On the back of the bottle (now all in small white writing) I'm told it is chip resistant and flammable, some information is given in foreign languages, contact details for Rimmel are listed, I'm told it is made in Spain and finally the size is stated. nice enough little ...
...is really simple to use. The consistency is really good not being too thin or runny or anything and not being too thick and/or heavy either. It simply glides over the nails and clings well, drying in a highly glossy way in a couple of minutes and I do feel like with most nail polishes/varnishes that your best to apply two coats of this just for a really even look and better durability. It doesn't stink to high heaven or agitate skin or nails either! ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...there it was – a Rimmel display (next to another cosmetics stand I’ve instantly forgotten). It was actually the lipstick I stopped to look at; there was a small promotional poster about their latest line, water-cooler-diamond-shiner-glitter-something-or-other, but I didn’t like any of the shades. Then I noticed this little bottle shimmering away interestingly among the other perfectly nice, yet bog-standard colours of nail varnish. ...
...hint of gold too. Hmmm, interesting. Zeitgeist it was called, and it looked cool. I picked it up and liked the colour a lot. As you turn it, the light catches it and reflects back different colours. Clever stuff, but don’t ask me how it works. My mum has some gorgeous nail varnish which looks very similar, and I know hers was close to £7 a bottle. At least, I think it was £7 a bottle. It might have been more. I figured this little 8g bottle ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...varnishes were Rimmels newer range, Rimmel Wear Maxx Nail Polish. The shades included in my little package were luckily shades I would wear; 'Pure Sin', 'Grape Sorbet' and 'Vintage'. I don't know about anyone else, but when I get new products, I tend to try them out straight away, and as I wasn't going out anywhere for the rest of the day, that is precisely what I did - different colours on each nail!! ******The Product****** This nail varnish ...
...******Testing the Product****** Rimmel is a well known name for its great products, though as we know, some products do not live up to expectations, so did this product? Well the simple answer is yes it did! It was extremely easy to apply and went on perfectly in one coat (although I still managed to get it onto my skin when using my left hand - though this proves there was no reaction!). The one coat gave a smooth, and somewhat silky coverage. ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

I've been quite an avid collector of nail polish for a long time (20 years at least) and have tried almost everything on the market. Quite by accident I came across Rimmel's 60 second nail polish. Given my level of patience I decided that this was the answer to my prayers. The polish comes in a vast array of colours with something to suit everyone. You can find pastel shades, something in between or my personal favourite called Zeitgeist which is ...
...if you want your nails to be noticed. The polish glides on easily and with most colours it goes on evenly. And YES it does dry in 60 SECONDS! With many of the shades the polish needs only one coat if you're in a rush. Of course if you have more time and like deeper shades as I do then a second coat dries almost as quickly. When it comes to removing the polish my remover deals with it quite efficiently and even the darker colours can be quickly removed. ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...bother wearing it. The Rimmel 60 Seconds Extreme Nail Polish comes in a good range of colours. I have in front of me colour 825: 'Potion'. The number 825 suggests that there are at least 825 colours, but I find this hard to believe. My local Superdrug stocks about 15 shades, but I would imagine that larger beauty stores stock a wider range. 'Potion' is a dark reddy-brown with a greeny-gold shimmer. All the colours are quite different to those found ...
...are. One shade I've had my eye on looks like petrol- dark with glimmers of purple and blue. They are well worth checking out if you want a colour that's a bit special. The product comes in an 8ml pot. Although this is fairly small, I have found that nail varnishes go hard and skanky before you finish the product anyway, so I would not see the small size as a disadvantage. The packaging is fairly plain, nothing particularly special or original, but ...

Review of Rimmel Lycra Wear Nail Polish

...anyhow. I haven't used Rimmel products for a while, but the applicator brush is easily one of the best I've tried (most of them, with any brand are usually useless) - It is firm without being inflexible which means it has just the right amount of 'give' to smoothly distribute an even covering of polish to the nail. The brush also seems to be an ideal length to get those nails coloured in the mythical '3 even brush strokes' without overloading and ...
...What a boon! I opt to use a single coat of polish as I'm conducting this experiment in the office and can't think of an excuse good enough to waylay the boss with if I'm caught fannying around with my nails instead of my salaried job! - it dries reasonably quickly and although the colour depth is hard to gauge as I'm using Oyster Pink, (which for the uninitiated is fairly pale & nail like anyway) The finish is remarkably even and shiny. Ooh! I'm ...
