I came across this product in Boots recently and paid £4.49 for a bottle of the French Ivory colour.. The varnish is in the typical Rimmel branding of a clear bottle so you can see the colour with the Rimmel branding in white. The brush is a wide sort of flat brush which makes it really easy to apply to your nails whether they are wider or not so its just as easy to apply to your thumb nail as it is your little finger nail. I must admit that the brush was really nice to apply.. I did apply a base coat and a top coat and the varnish stayed on for just under a week without chipping, but to be honest with the colour I had it wasn't that ...  Read the complete review

I have really small fingers (ridiculously small!) so i struggle with normal french manicure kits and without having much co-ordination either I tend to end up with a mess on my hands rather than perfectly manicured nails as required. A friend recommended Rimmel French Manicure Nail varnish to me which is exactly as stated. Its basically just a normal nail varnish which gives the impression of a french manicure without the usual hassle so off i went and brought a bottle. Rimmel French Manicure Nail Varnish is available in 3 different shades. French Rose, French Ivory and Nude Silhouette depending on the look you require. I went for the french rose ...  Read the complete review

A good product to have in your make up bag if you want to create French manicured style nails. The packaging is pretty average. Nothing fancy its plain and simple and does what it says on the label. Its not one of the most pretty nail polish bottles but for the price I don't think you would expect that! Price £3.99 is reasonable. Many of the larger retailers like Boots and Superdrug have 3 for 2 offers which means you can get this and the white tip varnish and a top coat for less than £8 which is a bargain!! Claims- First of all the nail varnish does not last 5 days without chipping. Probably 2 if you are lucky but for the price ...  Read the complete review

I like to have my nails painted in neutral, inoffensive shades during the day and Rimmel's 'French Manicure' collection comes in a range of fleshy, pearly colours designed to look naturally stunning but understated. I hoped that by using this polish my nails would look similar to the 'falsies' used by my best friend! I have this Rimmel Nail polish in the colour 'peach melba' which is a pale, baby pink shade. I was worried at first that the colour might be a little insipid and would produce that 'corpse' effect on the fingernails! Infact, when applied, the colour is very transparent and simply highlights and deepens the healthy pink of the flesh underneath my ...  Read the complete review

Nowadays you can buy nail varnishes in any colour that you can possibly imagine. Every brand seems to offer a whole plethora of different colours... from subtle feminine shades through to fun, funky neon brights. I, myself, quite like to try different colours, but I do tend to limit these to my toes as they're not so easy to wear on your fingers. If you have long-ish nails like mine, heavily painted talons can look a bit garish. Not a look that I try to foster! One look that is classic and easy to wear is the French manicure. They can give your hands a touch of elegance, and is an appropriate look for both the office and for nights out (and ...  Read the complete review
