Today’s nails are Rimmel London’s Professional Finish Nail Polish in 317 Coral Romance.

This is my first foray with the Pro range. The Maxi brush promises a mistake free application and tbh in regards to my fingernails I’d have to say that was pretty accurate. Application was quick & hassle free.

However toenails was another matter. Apart from my big toe my toenails are relatively petite and narrow, the Maxi brush was actually to fat for my last 2 toes and I had to turn it on its side to avoid painting the skin around the nails.

Formulation gets a big thumbs up from me though, I used 2 coats although one would have been sufficient. Each coat dried in super quick time, a welcome change from the China Glaze Polishes I’ve been using lately. I really just don’t have the time or patience to be sitting about waiting for polish to dry so I love this.

I have quite a few coral colours now but none of this intensity.

This is very much an orange red, tomato like under flash. It also has a lovely high shine once dry.

I’d like to try other colours in the range. Any suggestions ladies? xoxo

Love the nails! I have a pink one from this range but have yet to try it. Maybe I'll put it on for the Girls Aloud concert tonight and blog about it tomorrow.

Oh please do, I'm looking for more colour inspiration from this range. If they all apply like this one did we're on to a winner :D xx

I am actually wearing this colour today! I love it! Only thing I find is that it chips so quickly when worn on your fingers. I think its better suited to toenail use only!

Hmmm I've got China Glaze No-Chip Top coat on over it so I haven't noticed that flaw. Seche Vite is the absolute best for a topcoat but I've misplaced mine. Gah!!!

Try a top coat. I'm having no chipping issues so it must be down to that ;)
