Beach Ready Nails from Rimmel

One gloomy, rainy, cold day last week I got home to a literal ray of sunshine package from the lovely people at Rimmel* - the new Super Gel Beach Ready nail varnish collection. I like a bright and eye catching colour on my nails in the summer and especially on holiday. I think a bright colour on your nails looks fab with a bit of a tan and these five Beach Ready colours are exactly the type of shades I would opt for.

If you've ever had gel polish on your nails, the type that is set with a UV lamp, you'll know how long wearing and chip resistant this finish gives you. But there is a small price for having a gel finish and that's that it costs more than a do at home polish and long term use of gels set with a UV lamp, can leave your nails feeling a bit stripped and dry because of the removal of the polish. 

Rimmel's Super Gel polishes promise to give you a long lasting, chip resistant finish which lasts up to 14 days when set with the Super Gel top coat. I've used the Super Gel range before and I cannot attest to it lasting up to 14 days but it did give a solid 5 before I had to re-do my nails.

You don't need a base coat with these polishes, just 2 coats of the colour, wait to dry and then apply the top coat.

The shade names are:

Red - 045 Flamenco Beach
Orange - 035 Coral Queen
Grey blue - 082 Purple Splash
Blue - 053 Dive Right In
Pink - 026 Sun Fun Daze

I wanted to let you see this range asap so quickly painted each nail rather than doing a full set.

For me, my favourite shades are Sun Fun Daze (thumb nail) and then Coral Queen (index nail) for my toes.

These polishes are available now at Superdrug** for £5.99 each and currently there's a buy one, get the 2nd half price offer so you can get a colour and the top coat for less than a tenner.
