Birthday Manicure FAIL.

Hey there! Tomorrow is my birthday and I wanted to "spice up" my plain brunette nails. But what have I done. Oh lord, that's a MAJOR FAIL. Yes, I always knew that "nail art" isn't my thing. Thank god I'm not so into it either.But hey, let the girl play.

I normally don't like pinks much, so I use them for details and such. I love brown+pink combination, it's just amazing. And yes, rhinestones...I do that EXTREMELY RARELY, 'cause it's just too...glamorous for me. bleh. But I like them here. Accidentally.
I used another Rimmel lacquer for it, Urban Princess, a cool toned pink with Brunette as a base colour.
You may ask me : what's the fail? Ah well, it's way too inaccurate (is the word right?).
And one rhinestone is already lost. Damn.

I think I'll take it off as soon as possible...

And a thing more – look how Brunette matches my planner!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Rimmel - Brunette

Hello! Today I finally decided to make my first full-review post.
There's Brunette by Rimmel on the spotlight!

This is a rich, true dark chocolate colour. Not blackened, it's obviously brown, still dark enough. Yes, as many bloggers write – it's much better in the real life :)
The application was always just fine, but now...yuck! bubbles, too thick... I've heard that heat may affect the application quite hard... I suppose that's the problem, 'cause these rimmels have never been any thick! I always loved their formula, something just went wrong... with all the rimmels I own! By the way, you may know that there's the highest temperature ever in Russia than it ever was. It's like hell in here! So I blame it. *cough* Back to the polish...
I LOVE Rimmel's brush. Adore it. It's very wide, so the application's much easier with it. Still I do a lot of mistakes (whoops!)... I've seen OPI's wide brush, but it has nothing on rimmels one.
Ah yeah, it stays quite long, more than a week, as they promise. Just one eternal problem - instant tipwear. I always have to fix it!

I also feel like putting a little story how I ever got to know Rimmel.
I love Sophie Ellis-Bextor! She's one of the Rimmel faces, so I stumbled upon an ad and started to search for the brand. Luckily there's a store that holds their products located within two minutes from my house.  And once I tried – I loved it!
The only thing is the problem, quite a serious one. They DO test their products on animals. (Coty)

What do you think about Rimmel? I hate the fact about AT, I'm trying to find a good and safe alternatives.
