*Warning, this is a very picture-heavy post :)
With top coat, this is quite a different polish. In it's unmolested state, it looks like a very dark green overall, but add a bit of gloss, and it becomes a dark glossy back with lots of green sparkle. I love this polish with and without top coat equally, I refuse to pick a favourite :)
And to answer the big money question, yes, you can just about see the duochrome sparkle, but only at extreme angles. I am hoping to swatch this again in the summer though, I'm interested to see if a bit of sunshine will make any difference.
The other one I have to show you is Moon Walking, which is a super sparkly lilac texture, with silver micro and hex glitters. This is 2 coats, no undies, no top coat. I'm afraid I didn't get any photos with top coat for this shade, I loved it too much in it's textured state to wear it like that.
The formula for both of these shades was really easy to work with. They required minimal clean-up, dried reasonably quickly, and covered evenly in 2 or 3 coats. I actually have 2 other shades from this line, and really like them too, but that's for another Spotlight post.
What do you guys think of these polishes, yay or nay? Do you have any of the Rimmel textures yourself?
You can get the Rimmel Space Dust range from Boots and Superdrug, online and in-store, they cost £3.99.
I have Total Eclipse, and I have a number of P2 Sand Style polishes that are pretty much the same as the Rimmel range. Love a good textured polish
ReplyDeleteMe too, I can't stop touching my nails when I wear them though :) I haven't seen the P2 ones anywhere, where do you get them from? x
DeleteP2 is a German drugstore brand, I got a couple last year during my holiday in Berlin. I wish I lived closer to the German border so I could get more ;)
DeleteCool, thanks hun :) x
DeleteGorgeous swatches and I see the purple in your photos! I looked at mine under my daylight light bulb and could see the colour shift but hadn't noticed it in natural light. xx
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks hun, you can just about see it, but this is under a daylight bulb too :p I did take about a million photos so I'm glad it payed off! xx
DeleteThey are both gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) x
DeleteIt's even more gorgeous matte! Love it
ReplyDeleteOh wow its so beautiful matte! I would never of thought to do that x I've got the gold/bronze one of these I will have to try it
ReplyDeleteI do love a textured polish :) If you don't top coat these polishes then they dry down to that matte finish, and the feel when you touch the nails is awesome, like sugar or sand :D x
DeleteI have the green, silver and dark pink one. The lilac one looks lovely but so close to the lilac 2true lilac sequin effects which I bought first i couldn't justify buying the Rimmel one aswell.
ReplyDeleteI have the pink and silver ones too - can't wait to try those ones. I don't have any of the 2true ones yet, but the ones by Seventeen and Barry M are also fab ;) xx
