Nails of the Week- Friday 28 th February 2014


Hello Everyone!

Firstly, I wanted to say that I really tried this week to gather as much about information about this nail polish so that I could give an honest and fair review as I always do.

Boots had a special offer on Rimmel nail polishes when I picked up It's A Scorcher which was my Boyfriend fantastic pick of the bunch.


I'm not usually into tones this bright but this beautiful, slightly glittered Orange colour works perfectly with my skin tone, making my hands look alive and vibrant. It's A Scorcher isn't just a lovely pop of colour perfect for spring, the polish also has minute flecks of gold glitter to add a further dose wow to your nails.


Unfortunately, colour isn't everything. I found it difficult to build up a strong, bold colour whilst trying to be neat with this shade. The formula is quite thick, streaky and took about Three coats to build the the bold intensity I like. I also found that it took an awfully long time for the polish to dry on it's own. I used a nail drying spray and I could still see my finger print in it with a gentle press. I think it would be easier to use this polish for nail art.

I really hope that I bought a dud bottle because I really adore this colour and I would love to wear it more but it's too much effort and time compared to other polishes I own. I also noticed that the bottle has no label on the actual bottle it's self, just on the brush handle in comparison to other Rimmel polishes that have a print.
I think I picked up a faulty product.

I would love to see your favourite Orange, Whites and Pinks for Spring.

Dawn x
