    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.
