Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro in Hot Cocoa
Hot Cocoa is a nice dusty rose color, and holds up pretty well, though not quite the 10 days the package suggests. This picture was taken on day 5 and there is a bit of wear starting to show at the tips of my nails. It's a good choice for something demure and muted for work, and I think it was a good choice to get me in the mood for autumn.
I don't remember exactly how much I paid for this color but since it's my only Rimmel polish, I'm guessing I got it because it was on sale. It's not a typical color I would choose. The wide brush helps with application but the formula is thin and still a bit streaky and uneven in some places even after 2 carefully applied coats. Hot Cocoa does not quite live up to the long wearing promise of this line of polishes. I use acetone polish remover, and it took 1 total cotton pad to clean up. No staining, easy to remove. I got almost exactly what I expected. This shade is a bit more pink in the bottle, and a bit more tan on the hand.
Over all, I give it a 6 out of 10, and I'll probably destash this one.
