Rimmel Wear Maxx Nail Varnish

I love all the different colour nail varnishes you can get now so even though I don't wear varnish every day I have got a massive collection. Rimmel Wear Maxx is probably the most long lasting out of all of them and I'm always impressed with how smart it looks on my nails for days even though it doesn't last the 10 days that Rimmel say it will. I've got 3 colours from the range, 2 of them are normal pinks but a few weeks ago I brought one called Electric and that's a lovely deep blue that looks wicked on my finger and toe nails. The nail varnish is the perfect consistency and applied smooth and tidily to my nails. I think the brush is a bit too ...  Read the complete review

I used to wear a lot of nail polish a few years ago and loved having pretty nails. Now I can't be bothered with the applying it, seeing it chip soon after, removing it and re-applying so it's a while since I have used it but it was my joint favourite when I did. The claim of this polish is that it will up to last ten days. You get 12ml of this in a bottle and the black screw lid is also the brush applicator at the other end. The front of the bottle states that this contains lycra and minerals. Why it contains lycra I don't know as isn't that something normally found in clothes. Nor do I know what minerals they are referring to so it's a bit of a mystery to ...  Read the complete review

I've never really been one to wear nail varnish, too much hassle for my liking with constant chips making your nails look cheap and nasty. However, after having a look around at what is currently available, I decided that things must have improved since I last used nail varnish many years ago, with claims of long lasting and the like and so decided to give nail varnish a second chance. PRODUCT I decided to try Rimmel's Wear Maxx nail varnish, which claims to last up to 10 days. I never believed that it would last this amount of time, but never the less thought that it would last well. The nail varnishes come in a wide range of colours from neutral ...  Read the complete review

~ Introduction ~ I only occasionally wear nail varnish when I use light, neutral colours. However I recently took up belly dancing and I wanted my toes and hand nails look nice while dancing. I was specifically looking for a colour that matched my costume. Of all shades available 'Velvet Rose' from Rimmel came closest to what I wanted. ~ The packaging ~ The bottle that you can see on the third product photo is small, round and has a handle of about the same size with a normal, thin brush. The black handle (annoyingly and misleadingly) says 'Up to 10 days'. The number 10 is exaggerated while the 'days' are in smallprint. (Now I see ...  Read the complete review

Now I have tried and tested a lot of nail varnishes in search for a long lasting look, Rimmel wear Maxx nail polish claims to last up to ten days with a smooth shiny finish. I was sceptical of this from loss of faith in product promises, especially in Rimmel's after having tried both their '60 second nail polish' and their 'I love lasting finish nail polish' and being left completely unsatisfied. I picked up a pot of shade 325; 'Hot Gossip' out of curiosity and am so glad that I did. I am really surprised to have seen such negative reviews about this product as I am very happy with it, okay so it doesn't last ten days absolutely chip free, but with two coats ...  Read the complete review
