Rimmel Salon Pro With Lycra Nail Polish 12ml in 337 Purple Rain is a glossy, salon-finish nail lacquer in a deep, jewel-toned purple shade. The Lycra-infused chip-resistant resin flexes with the nail rather than cracking, and the precision maxi brush makes it easy to lay down full, even colour in one or two coats. A confident statement shade for autumn-and-winter wardrobes and party-season manicures.
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.
Key features
- Long-wearing formula: Designed to give a salon-style finish that resists everyday chipping for up to 10 days with a topcoat.
- Lycra-infused resin: Adds flexibility, so the polish wears at the tips rather than chipping in chunks.
- High-gloss finish: A wet-look shine that mimics gel polish without UV curing.
- Precision maxi brush: A wider, slightly fanned applicator for fewer strokes and clean cuticle lines.
- Highly pigmented: Near-opaque coverage in one coat, fully opaque in two.
Shade — 337 Purple Rain
Purple Rain is a deep, jewel-toned violet — confident, slightly retro, and reading sophisticated rather than playful. It pairs beautifully with black tailoring, denim, gold or silver jewellery and rich autumn-and-winter wardrobes. Particularly photogenic in low evening light and useful as an alternative to a classic deep red or wine for those wanting something bolder.
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 Purple Rain in thin coats: one stroke down the centre of the nail, then one each side. Allow to dry for 2–3 minutes between coats.
- Finish with a clear top coat to lock in the gloss and extend wear.
