Review || Rimmel Salon Pro by Kate Moss Nail Polish - Hip Hop

Rimmel Salon Pro by Kate Moss Nail Polish in Hip Hop - £4.49

Firstly, Happy Valentine's Day to all you love birds out there! I've never been one for Valentine's Day myself - I find it highly commercialised and a bit gimmicky, so the Hubby and I never really celebrate it. However, we are going for a cheeky breakfast at a local tea room this morning (a cheeky Groupon Deal) so you could  say we're being romantic! heh! Anyhoo, I wanted to show you all my current favourite nail polish as I just can't get enough of it!

As I'm sure you're all aware, Kate Moss is the face of Rimmel, and has collaborated with them to create 10 of her own shades of the popular Salon Pro Nail Polishes to go alongside the original 26 shades. My choice: Hip Hop. A beautiful, orange-toned, coral red. In other words; perfection in a polish! All of the Salon Pro nail polishes contain lycra and have a gel-like formula, which, not only dry to a glossy finish, are also relatively long lasting.  I use both a base and topcoat, like I do with all my nail polishes, and I can vouch for both claims. This shade does take a good 2-3 coats to reach to the opacity I like, but I'm not sure how the other shades are on that front. I think I'll try painting this over a white polish next time to see how that pans out. My favourite thing about these polishes is the size of the brush. The enormousness of it allows you to paint a nail in 1-2 strokes. Always a winner with me. Hip Hop is a firm favourite of mine, and I can't see it being beaten any time soon as it is perfect for the approaching Spring/Summer.

Rimmel Salon Pro Nail Polishes retail at £4.49 in all the usual places, but I spotted a selection of original shades on Fragrance Direct for a bargain £1.50, and a select few Kate Moss ones for £2.50.  I need to get my hands on some more of these bad boys.

Also, If those shades don't tickle your fancy, they are currently 2 for £7 at Superdrug.

What's your current favourite nail polish?
