    Fav nail polish color: Rimmel London “Berries and Cream”

    Over the years I got quite the “collection” of nail polish colors. Almost 10 years ago I saw this photo and I thought it looked very nice and I must have something similar to it.

    I didn’t get the cat, but I got the nail polishes 😀

    Anyhow, years passed, many little bottles went to trash, others took their places, but I realized (as I’m sure most girls do) that I only use one or two colors, while the others rest unused until they dry out.

    The nail polish color I used most was a dark “browny” red from a local brand and it was really bad, chipped instantly and turned yellow my nails. But it didn’t matter. I bought this little bottle over and over again because I liked the color so much.

    Somehow I discovered a very similar nail polish color from Rimmel London (60 Seconds Super Shine).

    I was so happy to discover this nail polish. It does have a few advantages:

    • It drys quickly (but definitely not in 60 seconds as it is written on the bottle, I’ve wrote an entire article about the 60 seconds problem here);
    • It doesn’t turn the nails yellow;
    • It doesn’t chip easily;
    • It is shiny and looks nice.

    Rimmel London calls this color “Berries and Cream”. It’s a nice name :D. And the number is 340.

    Since I’m so in love with this color and I’ve been using it for so many years now, I might try to find an even better nail polish (same color, obviously). A friend used a similar nail polish from Sephora, but it wasn’t as good as the Rimmel. It chipped instantly.

    I would like a nail polish that would dry even faster and would be kinder to my nails. But until I find this perfect nail polish, I stick with my all time favorite Rimmel London Berries and Cream. ❤

    REVIEW: Rimmel London 60 Seconds – Does it work?

    I am a big fan of Rimmel London nail polishes. They have beautiful colors, they are cheap and they don’t damage too much the nail and don’t chip easily.

    Rimmel London has a special type of nail polishes, called “60 Seconds” and I think another type called “60 Seconds Super Shine” but I am not sure if there is a difference between them or not.

    So, the real question here is: Does it really work? Do nails actually dry in 60 seconds?

    Well, yes and no. Mostly no.

    They dry in almost 60 seconds only the first time you open the bottle (right after you’ve bought it) and only if you’ve applied a thin coat of layer.

    The more you use the bottle, the slower it will dry. If you do your nails once a week with the same color, in a few weeks it will dry in 30 minutes (hopefully)…

    But I think that the same thing happens with other nail polishes. So, all in all, I do recommend Rimmel London, it’s not that bad and the 60 seconds gig kind of works, like once, at the beginning. So, if you are in a hurry, you can use a new bottle of Rimmel London 🙂
