I am not sure if it is just me but I can't seem to find a good quality nail polish that doesn't cost over R100.00 . That all changed when I tried the Rimmel London Salon Pro nail polish with Lycra.
Rimmel London released 38 different shades of nail polish in their Salon Pro with Lycra Nail Polish range. According to Rimmel, this range is supposed to provide you with, "up to 10 days chip resistant nail colour with gel shine finish!" Sounds great!
So I tried out the shade Navy Seal, which is shade number 411. It is a pastel navy blue shade. Actually, it is quite cool toned with some hints of grey in it. Anyways the consistency is extremely creamy. The nail polish comes with quite a large flat brush. I personally love this style of brush because I can cover my entire nail with one swipe. Okay well, the majority of my nails. To achieve an opaque finish, all you need is two layers.
Considering the fact that this is supposed to be a no chip nail polish, I decided not to use a top coat. When I first applied it, it was quite glossy but I noticed that it lost its shine throughout the week. It is now day 5 and my nails still look relatively good. There is a gap between my nail polish and nail bed and that is expected from my nail growth. There is also some chipping around the bottom and that is okay.
Overall, I am so happy with this product. I think the next time I use it I will use a top coat and I will be chip free!
The photo's that I have attached were taken yesterday (day 5) so that you can see how much it has chipped.
