No time or money to go to a nail salon? No problem!
Rimmel has just introduced new Super Gel; an "exclusive" two-step gel colour system for salon-quality nails, which promise up to 14 days of superior colour and shine!
It's quick and easy to apply, it dries like a regular nail polish, and no UV lamp is needed!
The results: A flawless glossy nail finish with the 3D volume of a professional gel manicure...without the mess, the salon time or the empty purse, and without damaging your nails. It also removes easily with regular nail polish remover.
Here's how it works ~
STEP 1:
Apply two coats of a Super Gel colour using the ultra-accurate precision brush (which is awesome!) for quick and easy streak-free application - the built in base coat means there is no need to prep nails to achieve a salon-perfect finish.
STEP 2:
Activate the 'self-curing' process with the Super Gel top coat - natural light does the rest (no UV lamp needed).
There's no hanging around for hours - it dries super quick like any regular nail polish.
The top coat gives an incredible light-reflecting shine and a super smooth durable gel finish that covers any nail imperfections.
From nudes to bolds, Super Gel offers an extensive palette of colour to suit every mani-pedi style.
Today I have all fourteen shades of the newly released Rimmel Super Gel colour system to share with you :)

I didn't wear any of these polishes for 14 days to test Rimmel's claim, but I did try a couple of them for a full week. The polishes wear pretty well, but did suffer some tip wear (which is to be expected) and some minor chipping by the end of the week. The glossiness the Super Gel top coat creates didn't dull at all by the end of the week.
The Super Gel top coat applies nice and smoothly and it doesn't smudge or pick up the polish colour onto the brush. I did notice that it bubbled slightly which was kind of annoying, but I suspect it may have just been due to not letting the base colour dry fully before applying the top coat. The top coat, itself, dries and hardens relatively fast without a UV lamp, which is awesome!
I like that the Super Gels remove with any nail polish remover, whether it be with acetone or non-acetone remover. They remove just like regular nail polish - so no soaking, wrapping or scraping is required.
Overall, I'm really quite impressed with the Super Gel line - the colour range is pretty, the formulas are phenomenal and application is a breeze.
My personal favourites from the new Super Gel line are "Red Ginger", "Blue Babe", "Bare Hug" and "Urban Purple".
I definitely recommended trying out some Super Gels for yourself!
