REVIEW ; Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro in English Rose



REVIEW TIME!

So last week I purchased the Last Finish Pro polish from Rimmel in English Rose from my beloved Target.  I chose the color because it wasn't bold, it was a nice warm, neutral color.

The Good: The applicator is quite unique (see picture below) and I actually now think I like the brush more than the "normal polish brush".  The color was indeed beautiful like I had hoped, very true to the bottle color.

The Bad: You would think with a name like "Lasting Finish Pro" and "up to 10 days" on the bottle it would last.  With a base coat of ACI Gelous Advanced Nail Gel Coat, two coats of the Rimmel, and a top coat of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Invisible,... still after just one day, three nails chipped.  I did not do anything very physical that would cause abnormal wear to my polish, and I have used the base and top coat with many other polishes with no issues, and surely no chips after day one!

brush tipOverall: Though the polish was just $3.99 I will not be repurchasing another polish from this line.  When something claims "up to ten days" I would expect at least five! My NYC polishes wear much better than this ever did!

INTRO POST!

Hey there guys!
          This is just going to be a quick introduction post to well, inform you all!  For the past few years I have religiously read/watched beauty blog/vlogs, and finally got the courage and inspiration to make both of my own!  If you're curious about the name, I wanted a slight play on words since my name is Paige, and all through high school my AOL username had the word 'lush' in it, which I suppose could describe me quite well.  I am quite appealing and well, not the smallest sized person.  It does not describe me in the way of having to do with alcohol, I rarely drink, and when I do I almost never get drunk, just not my thing!
          On this blog (and my beauty vlog on YouTube 'y0urlushx' <-- see old terrible HS name) I will reviewing beauty products, blurting my opinions about said products, and probably blurting my opinions about anything major in my life, which can be a lot!
         If you guys have anyyyy questions for me, just give me a shout on here or my e-mail here! Thanks! xox
