Rimmel Mania

This is Rimmel Mania, an oldie but a goodie. I la la love colors like this, oozing with yummy color and glazed with shimmer. I'd call this a deep marine teal with a deep blue base and interwoven subtle golden shimmer. It reminds me of a peacock *sigh* a symbol of beauty for the animal kingdom. We need more polishes like this!! I got this baby in a swap with a lovely gal on MakeUpAlley. The formula was perfect, two coats.

rimmel steel gray

this varnish has a color that took the polish world by storm. it is rimmel steel gray, a virtual "dupe" for cult classic metro chic from sephora by opi. and even better, it's half the price and probably more readily available. a sexy CHIC purpley taupey gray creme that would look good on freaking anyone.

this is one of rimmel's new colors since they did a redesign on their products, packaging, etc. (which it seems LOTS of companies are doing right now). i have to say that i la la love the new bottle and brush design, which is flat, wide, and has the rounded edge that sally hansen polishes are doing now--EXCEPT that these are way more awesome than the yucky sally hansen ones. much shorter handles and easier to control, the brushes seem better cut or something too because this was literally a no-clean up mani. perfect! two coats and we're done :)
