Like most of the nation, the clubbing cousins (my flatmates) and I were gripped by the antics in Essex; will Arg lose weight? Will Lauren marry love rat Mark? What will Joey Essex come out with next? It was when watching and pondering such questions that we noticed a beauty must-have.
It was a spring evening, and Lydia was sat in the garden with Debbie, blubbering over James, when we noticed that she was sporting the most excellent colour nail polish we had ever seen, a bright creamy lilac that surpassed anything in our current collection! The hunt began for this shade.
Finally, flatmate Kat came home triumphant, a lunchtime Boots dash had unearthed Rimmel Pro 312 Ultra Violet.
This is such a great shade for summer, bright but not blinding with pastel undertones. It has an extra wide brush which paints it on in one sleek brush stroke, and dries quickly too. It lasted really well on my nails, but at that point I still had the falsies which hold on to colour for longer anyway (so glad to see the back of those acrylic claws- but more on that another time).
There are other candy brights in the Rimmel Pro collection, and it seems like a good cheap polish option for those on a budget, though personally I won't be purchasing further shades due to Rimmel's company policies*
* Rimmel is quite ambiguous in their animal testing policies; Googling lead me to this Facebook response from the company. It seems like though they are conscientious, they cannot claim not to test on animals. They are not the worst out there, but I don't think this is good enough to convince me to buy their products.
