How Gucci S/S '11

Two Rimmel polishes I’ve been sporting on my nails lately, 60 Seconds Lucky Lilac (670) and I Love Lasting Finish Apricot Punch (053).


Apricot Punch is a vibrant, pinkish-orange creme. It's more orange (with salmon pink tones) than your standard coral, but not purely a bright mandarin either, like Rimmel’s Tangerine Queen. This is a great polish if you’re looking for a pop of colour that isn't too neon-looking, a problem I've had with brights in the past. Complete opacity requires at least 2 coats, though the formula brings out bald spots which strangely don't disappear with more layers. It isn’t too noticeable though, so I’m not overly bothered by it. The sweet, fruity scent when the polish dries is an added bit of novelty and fun.

Lucky Lilac is my latest nail polish acquisition. It applies opaque in one coat, but the colour is significantly more purple (and less pink) the more coats you apply. The formula can get a little gloopy and thick but dries reasonably fast. I prefer cooler-toned purples to the colour of Lucky Lilac, which is a very pinkish violet, or grape-leaning fuchsia. Still, this shade is unique to my collection and I can’t get enough of purple polish, so it had to be mine.
