NOTD: Rimmel Salon Pro Kate Moss Polish in 'Punk Rock'

I am pretty sure you’ve all heard the buzz around the Rimmel London Salon Pro, Kate Moss polishes, but here’s a short review of how I got along with the shade ‘Punk Rock’. As you can see in the image, this a purple toned dark grey with a high shine finish. This polish has Saina written all over it – I pretty much wear dark colours all year round with the exception of nudes and pastels. At one point in my life I wore only black nails for a whole year!

When I saw the polish stand in Boots I almost instantly gravitated towards this bottle knowing it was my favourite out of the range. What I love the most about this range is the brush size, a wider brush allows easier and quicker application, with smaller nails being painted in one swipe. The range also boasts a long lasting, chip resistant finish that should last up to 10 days – however having worn another shade from this range (post coming soon) for the past 5 days I found the edges to peel off due to its somewhat thick, gel like consistency and a few chips here and there. So I’ve decided to give this one a go and see how much wear I can get out of it before needing to switch things up.

NOTD – Essie - Power Clutch:

So after a few days of wearing Essie’s loud and proud orange, ‘Fear & Desire’ I was eager to get back to my neutral nails. Today, I applied Essie’s Power Clutch onto my nails, which is a deep, green toned grey with a cream finish - this shade is part of Essie’s Autumn 2011 ‘Carry On’ collection. After applying two coats, I find that the green is definitely cancelled out and the colour edges towards a dark, charcoal grey.  Despite being a big fan of Essie polishes, I must admit this colour does not have great lasting power but this does not stop it from being one of my favourite shades. With my usual application of Seche Vite topcoat, I can go about 2 days without any chips. I wish I could wear this colour longer without having to worry about colour chipping away, but I still love the shade!
