RIMMEL London: 60 Seconds Nail Polish

Today it's Rimmel London's 60 Seconds nail polish!
I saw them at Walmart for $1.75 each a few weeks back, which is really cheap for nail polishes
(Sally Hansen/Essie/Revlon tend to run $5-6 each, depending where you look).


I got one each of I Lilac You (light lavender cream with a pink cast) and 
Blue Eyed Girl (medium indigo/denim blue cream).  I've been looking for an inexpensive
denim nail polish and this is a really pretty blue that's not too dark.  Until recently
I was using Julep's Renee lilac polish (hint: you can still get free nailpolishes at Julep's site c:
just use their free first-timer's code) but it's practically empty and I think I prefer Rimmel's shade.

They're not kidding about the 60 seconds - I've never used a speed dry polish before
but it's so cool to not be picking things up gingerly for 15+ minutes after painting my nails.
It says you only need one coat, but imo it was still slightly streaky so I've put two in the picture below
(it dries in nearly no time so why not?).  It's also one of the smoothest, nicest, richly colored polishes I've used.  No bubbles or sticking, I wonder if that might be because it dries too quickly to let that happen?  
This application lasted a week with only some tiny chips at the tips of my nails, which
probably happened in lab ^u^ biology's intensive on the hands sometimes.  

I Lilac You


Blue Eyed Girl
(one coat over I Lilac You - I think one coat of this would be ok on bare nails
since it's a really strongly pigmented shade)

I'd say it's a 10/10 c: 
Once I run out of other polish I'll probably pick up colors from this line,
or at least a clear polish.  (I have Hard As Nails clear polish which is 
good but also takes a really long time to dry, and hardens fast in the bottle. :c )

You can find this really easily at Walmart around now, they've put out
a bunch of shades for spring - I think they're on the store site as well but I'm not sure.
