NYE NOTD: Rimmel- Precious Stones - 001 Diamond Dust


Rimmel- Precious Stones - 001 Diamond Dust

More bling and glitter as promised, what more could you want at this time of the year?? :):)

This is a fun polish to wear if your heading out for New Years Eve..

Let me introduce you to my friend.....




Rimmel- Precious Stones - 001 Diamond Dust.... I hearted this polish long before I ever saw it with my own eyes... So I couldn't WAIT to get it on my pinkies.. I reviewed/ showed off its sister on the blog here

It took me two goes of application of this to manage to get photos so that i could show you.

The first time it took 3 coats to make it opaque and I didn't bother with a top coat.. .BIG MISTAKE..
I done my nails before bed, woke up and they were totally chipped!! Not good!! 

Take 2, I used base coat, 2 coats of polish, followed by a topcoat for good measure.. I took 2 photos that evening in the car (just in case) thankfully it lasted this time and took the rest of the photos the following day at lunch time in the proper light...




I took A LOT of photos of my nails with this on trying to catch the glitter in different lights... 
Are you ready to see all the photos???

 This polish like is lil sister is lovely BUT I had tip wear almost immediately and chips in less than 24 hours.

BUT if its a quick fix of glitter that your after for a night out over the Christmas/ New Year OR if (like me) you change your polish a lot, then the chippage factor won't bother you too much.
Its a lovely party polish.

Christmas NOTD: Rimmel- Precious Stones - 002 Ruby Crush

Rimmel- Precious Stones - 002 Ruby Crush
Christmas is almost here, Woooo Hooooo and not that I need an excuse to have blingy shiney glittery nails, this just happens to the the purrrrfect time to show off Rimmel's new glitter polish Precious Stones - 002 Ruby Crush

I read a few reviews on this polish and was loving the look and the glitter and was mad to try it out.
AND when it was on 3 for 2 in Boots PLUS a free gift, well, it would have been rude not to pick it up, all in the name of Christmas you understand ;)

I was cursing myself that I didn't use my Essence peel off base coat under this, It needed 2 coats to be opaque, I must say i do like the brush on the Rimmel polish's, makes application nice and easy, you do need to wipe excess polish on the side of the bottle, but you need to do this with most nail varnish's, so its by no means a complaint.

The finish has a grainy, sandy feel to it, so I did top mine off with a top coat to make it shiney..

I liked the sparkle from this and thought it was super Christmassy


Up close photos so you can see the glitter specks.....

My only complaint with this polish is that I had tip wear almost immediately, and it started to chip in less than a day! BUT for going over over the Christmas this is definitely a winner in my books.

Christmas & Glitter & Sparkle = Christmas Christmas Christmas :):) Luv it
