Hi lovelies,
Happy Friday! Also happy halloween if you do celebrate it. What luck that it falls on a Friday right? I am excited that it is a bit cooler again, my brother is staying over tonight and my favourite little girl is visiting. I see a good weekend happening. What are your plans?
I was super spoilt lately and the lovely Nicola gave me a bunch of polishes for my birthday. All pink of course 😉 One of them was this Rimmel from the sweetie crush collection. I have had my eye on them and was so excited to receive Candyfloss cutie. Let me show you.
Rimmel – Candyfloss cutie
This is 2 coats with no topcoat. It is a light pink texture that really looks like candy floss. It has a really nice formula and good opacity as well. It’s a fine texture, almost like sugared jelly tots. It’s isn’t packed with glitter but it does have like a sugar shine to it. It’s really gorgeous.
Of course, I had to do some art with it. I decided to a gradient with some tape as well. So a taped textured gradient.
I started off with a white base – Revlon Sure thing – and left that to dry. I then taped off my index and pinky in a criss cross pattern and just two horizontal lines on my middle and ring. I then used a sponge to sponge on the Rimmel – Candyfloss cutie. I did one nail at a time and immediately pulled of the tape. Unfortunately, because I didn’t topcoat and washed my hair before taking photo’s, the white has a slight pink tone to it. It does however show you that a light pink would’ve worked as well 😛
What do you think? I was just trying something different but I actually really loved it. This texture is just beautiful as well. I must say I am really enjoying the Rimmel textures. Thank you so much Nicola!
Thanks for reading!

I think it looks much better on the nails than it does in the bottle! It’s so sweet 🙂

I definitely agree with you. I am not sure if I would’ve picked it up if I just saw the bottle. Thanks 😉

Like it on you! Love the nail art and I like the slight pink tinge 😀
