About Rimmel London
Rimmel was founded in London in 1834 by Eugène Rimmel, a French perfumer who opened his first boutique on Bond Street and went on to be credited as the inventor of modern mascara. Today, Rimmel London is one of the most globally recognised mass-market British beauty brands, with Kate Moss as its long-running brand ambassador and a colour-cosmetics range built around irreverent, fashion-led shades at accessible prices.

Shade — Love Bugs
Love Bugs is a sweet, candy-toned pink shade — playful, slightly retro, and very Valentine's-coded. The velvet-matte finish gives it a soft, slightly chalky texture rather than the brightness of a glossy pink, making it suit those drawn to less-shiny finishes. Particularly photogenic on fair to medium skin tones and pairs naturally with white, denim and pastel wardrobes.
How to use
- Start with clean, dry nails. Buff lightly and wipe over with a polish remover to lift any oil from the nail bed.
- Apply a base coat to protect the natural nail and improve adhesion.
- Roll the bottle gently between the palms to mix the formula — do not shake, which creates bubbles.
- Apply Love Bugs in two thin coats: one stroke down the centre of the nail, then one each side. Allow to dry briefly between coats.
- Skip the top coat — the velvet-matte finish is designed to be the final result.
