Rapid Ruby

15 December 2013

Slow drying nail varnishes are simply not my cup of tea! And for that reason, more often than not, OPI Nail Envy is the only thing I have on my nails because it’s clear (so no smudging) and it dries within seconds. But that’s rather boring, isn’t it? So I had a look through my nail varnish collection, and out of hundreds, I found a mere 2 varnishes that dry pretty quickly – Nails Inc in Piccadilly Circus and Rimmel 60 Seconds in Green with Envy. I knew I couldn’t go wrong with either of them, but I fancied a bit of red on my nails, so I popped into Boots and grabbed the Rimmel 60 Seconds in #320 Rapid Ruby.

Rapid Ruby is true to its name; it’s a deep and rich ruby-red colour, which glides with ease on the nails and dries super fast! I can get away with 1 coat if I’m in a hurry, but if I have half an hour to spare, 2 coats are ideal to make my nails look opaque and really glossy. This seriously dries in a flash! It’s dry to touch within 60 seconds and fully dry in 5 minutes!

The only thing I don’t like about this polish is the brush; I hate wider brushes, like the Essie diffusion brushes because I have such narrow nails and they make it impossible to apply nail varnish without smudging it onto my fingers. Apart from that, this is a Class A nail varnish, that if I could, I would get one in each colour. In fact, I’m seriously considering getting rid of all of my nail varnishes and only having Nails Inc and Rimmel 60 Seconds polishes in my collection. After all, I just don’t use anything that takes ages to dry, so why keep them?! I’ll get back to you on that :)

What do you think of the Rimmel 60 Seconds in #320 Rapid Ruby? Have you tried any nail varnishes from this line? Do you also hate waiting for nail varnishes to dry?

    Love the colour and the fast drying action, I agree about the brush size, I have tiny nails and huge brushes just mean my nail gets loaded and I can’t apply it evenly!

    Pretty colour. I have a few of these Rimmel 60 second polishes & love them. They have a good formula and they last a good amount of time on my nails before chipping

    I have this polish at home and it’s one of my favourites! Perfect for the festive season with a gold glitter accent nail!

Did you guess it right? I got it totally wrong, again! 😆 We couldn’t be happier and it’s exactly what both James and Bella wanted. Our little tie-breaker! 🥰 #16weekspregnant #babynumber3 #genderreveal

It’s been a little while since my last update. Last week was tough, but this week I’ve started to see the light at the end of the Hyperemesis tunnel.

I’ve been able to keep most of my food down and I can now drink sips of water. Honestly that is such an amazing feeling!

I’m still being sick and still limited on what I can eat, but everyday I tolerate a few more smells and food.

My cravings are so weird! Full of things I’ve never bothered with before - Brazilian hot dogs, McDonalds Fillet O’ Fish, tinned peaches, tuna mayo jacket potato.

I’m still very weak and out of breath if I walk around - my body is playing catch up with the last 2/3 months of living on barely nothing.

I’m into my 14th week and I honestly feel so hopeful right now. ❤️

Ad: Today is International Women’s Day and this Ad: Today is International Women’s Day and this year #LEGO are celebrating the women of the future; our imaginative, creative, inspirational little girls!

We were asked to take part in the campaign, replicating a classic LEGO ad from 1981, which shows a little girl proudly holding up her LEGO creation.

So when I asked Bella what she wanted to make, no surprises there, she chose a princess castle!    

I feel like this reflects her personality so much; she’s sweet and kind, but also really knows her mind and is super determined to do what she wants, how she wants it! 💗 Didn’t she do well?!

If you want to take part and recreate the ad with your amazing daughters, you can submit a photo at LEGO.com/FutureBuilders.

I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so good to step on the scales and not see those numbers going down anymore! I worried every single day for weeks, especially when my weight loss was so quick. So today, I put shorts on for the first time in a month (took it off right after the photo, as I feel so uncomfortable with anything around my hips or waist), pushed my belly out and registered that milestone. Hyperemesis is not in my past yet, but my new meds are at least helping me keep some food down. That’s a lot of progress from a week ago! ❤️

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️
