Rimmel used [giant freeze-framed bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-billboards) of ‘Quick Dry’ [nail polish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nailsinc-polishes) in the streets of London for their latest ad campaign. The idea is to promote the ultra-fast speed at which the product dries. The surreal sculptures were placed right outside stores in a busy retail area an attempt to “literally stop young women in their tracks.”

Rimmel, with their ad agency JWT of London, has also created smaller [eye-catching versions of the pouring polish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/road-to-radiance) for use right at the cosmetics counter.

I think the larger pieces would look amazing in a spa or salon--what a way to draw guests' attention!
