Nail Polish Collection | Rimmel London, Gosh, Technic

Good morning ladies, for the next instalment of my nail polish collection, I have a small mix of British brands, namely, Rimmel London, Gosh and Technic. The larger Rimmel bottles were a gift from the US so I am not sure if the packaging is the same as in the UK and Europe. I have to say I like the US packaging better because you get a lot more product and the bottle looks overall much nicer. Here goes!

I have finally found some time to do proper nail art this week. I have a lot of new polishes that I haven't used yet and I decided to start with one of my favourites... Gosh 549 Holographic Hero which Misha from Enigmatic Rambles kindly sent me.

I had wanted a holographic polish for ages and now I finally have one :D I was unsure how to wear it though so I opted to pair it with black and this is the end result:

Here's a step-by-step tutorial to achieve the look:

1. Start with a base coat to protect your natural nails.

2. When dry, apply two coats of Gosh Holographic Hero to all the nails.

3. For the dots, start by painting half the nail with Essie Licorice in a diagonal fashion and using a medium-sized dotting tool, dot three or four dots along the lower edge of the black polish.  Place your dotter half on the silver polish and half on the black polish to make the black dots look like they are coming out of the black part.  Place black dots on the silver area as shown in the pictures.

4. Repeat with the silver polish on the black end to achieve the full effect.

5. Seal with a top coat to protect your design.
