For this nail art I used painter's tape to get the straight lines. This is the first time I've done nail art, and although it was difficult and time consuming, I'm quite pleased with the results!

xoxoJen's swatch of Rimmel Night Life


Brand: Rimmel
Color: Night Life
Coats: 3
Application: A little thick, probably because its a fast dry. 3rd coat was to smooth out streakiness.
Finish: creamy with a coppery/gold flash
Base Coat: Seche Clear
Top Coat: Seche Vite
Wear: One week, not chips, slight tip wear or possibly shrinkage I can never be sure!
Purchased From: Ebay seller floridacosmetichouse (not sure I'd buy from them again. Slow shipping and no replies to my four messages - scarey transaction)
Comments: I love this color and its subtle shimmer.
