Salon Pro Kate Moss Nail Varnish (Rimmel)
Good staying power, a week at least. It does not chip easily even though I wash dishes by hand. The brush is very wide (in fact, it's a double) and well shaped with a curved outer outline which facilitates a clean application. It almost covers the whole nail in one pass (except for the thumb, of course). The texture is fairly liquid and easy to apply.  On the minus side, I find that it needs three coats to look finished. It is a little thin for total coverage.

The colour Hip Hop (317) is a very bright true red, tending towards orange rather than pink, almost neon in its brightness. Perfect for the summer, especially with a little tan. It looks dazzling with jeans and strong colours.

Vinyl Gloss Lip Gloss (Rimmel)

This is really super shiny, soft on the lips and not too sticky. It does not dry out my lips, which some glosses do, for some reason. I'm glad Rimmel offer a Clear product as the whole idea of a gloss is that it should look natural and most coloured lip products don't work for me. I like the option to lightly tint my lips and then apply a finishing topcoat. Or, as I have already done here, to add a touch of my own pigment to the gloss.  It also has almost no flavour and lasts reasonably well.
