day two hundred and thirty eight, rimmel london perfect plum

i love finding unexpected goodies in drugstore lines! it's like finding a secret pot of gold. rimmel london is everywhere in London, they're one of the standard drugstore lines carried in pretty much all drugstore chains and even in some supermarkets. i actually picked this polish up a good while ago...i know it's not a recent acquisition but it's been languishing in the bottom of my collection for ages! i decided it was time to give it its' 5 minutes of fame!

i'm really pleased by this polish, it's a lovely medium purple with a blue flash. totally unexpected, the blue flash that is! i just expected a humdrum purple which is probably why it's been ignored for so long but the sunlight hit it and i couldn't believe it, totally impressed! rimmel polishes tend to be pretty run of the mill, they're not fantastic but they're decent for £3-something. 3 coats is not just my quirk on these polishes, it's a necessity. but after the 3rd coat it's even and opaque throughout.
