Today’s beauty fave is a fairly recent discovery, although I don’t think the product itself is new. A few weeks ago, I noticed a small display of Rimmel’s Salon Pro nail polish at my local CVS. Previously, I owned one other Rimmel nail polish which I loved because of the brush and smooth formula. In discovering this line, my love for Rimmel polishes has only grown. The brush is nice and wide, which means you can easily cover each nail with a few swipes. The formula is great as well- not too watery and not too thick.
Best of all, the colors are downright awesome. There isn’t a huge color range, but looking at the ones available in my store, it’s one of the rare occasions where I want to buy every single color in the collection. I don’t have the complete set yet, but I started off with one, then bought two more colors, then another two, and I’m sure that’s not the end of the line. With my current nail polish routine (stay tuned for a new video on that tomorrow!), I’ve found that this polish lasts a good five to seven days on my nails with no chips or only minimal tip wear. And before I forget, these ring up at $3.19, which is pretty decent in my book!
Tell me: Have you tried any of the Rimmel Salon Pro nail polishes before?

P.S. Today I’m also over on Kim’s blog, I Have a Degree In This, talking about my summer beauty faves. Find out which three products I’m loving at the moment!
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

I have never tried their polishes but love the way they sound. I love finding polishes that last up to 7 days! I love these ones: http://www.revlon.com/Revlon-Home/Products/Nails/Nail-Color/Revlon-ColorStay-Longwear-Nail-Enamel.aspx
I have not tried the Revlon polish before- thanks for the suggestion! I saw somewhere recently that they’re releasing (or have released) an updated collection called Revlon Gel Envy http://helloglossy.com/revlon-colorstay-gel-envy/
I just bought Essie’s Strut Your Stuff and I’m SO excited to use it this weekend when I re-paint! Good to know that these polishes hold up.
That’s a great color! Online it looks a bit like the color Britpop above :)
I haven’t tried this before, but the colors you picked are beautiful! Right now I’m obsessed with Essie :)
Thank you Maru! Essie is such a classic brand and of course their color range is amazing.
It’s always great to find new nail polishes! Esp if they last long but aren’t expensive. I always love Essie but sometimes it’s just too expensive!
Yes, I’ve always thought Essie was a little expensive; however, I think it’s worth it because I really love every single Essie color I have and they do last!
sweet! I have had my eyes on trying these! Good to know they are as good as I hoped them to be! =)
