Base Coat | Rimmel Stronger Try Harder Double Duty
Colour | Barry M Ballerina and H&M Polish Tropical Ocean
Top Coat | OPI Top Coat

This week I decided to use the Rimmel Stronger Try Harder Double Duty for my base coat as a couple of my nails have broken recently so I thought I’d give them a bit of extra TLC.

Both Barry M Ballerina and the H&M nail polish mini in Tropical Ocean are new additions to my collection and I couldn’t decide which to use, in the end I painted three of my nails in Ballerina and two in Tropical Ocean on each hand.

Barry M Ballerina is a beautiful dusty pink that applies evenly in 2 easy coats. This is such a beautiful polish, I think I’ll be wearing it a lot over the coming months. I was in H&M recently and spotted a stand of cute nail polish minis that cost just £1.99 and I simply couldn’t resist picking one up and giving it a whirl. Tropical Ocean required 3 coats for an opaque finish but its a lovely mint blue.

I think the two shades compliment each other beautifully.

Do you ever like to change things up and wear different polishes on different nails?

    Definitely love those two colours together! That pink is gorgeous.

    I’ve always been a bit sceptical about HM polishes but maybe I may give them a go :)

      For £1.99 it really doesn’t have a bad formula, I’m quite impressed and it has lasted just as well as the Barry M polish with a top coat – both have some tip wear but I painted my nails almost a week ago xx

    I’d never imagine that these two would go together, but I think it really works! They look like mint and strawberry Icecream haha xx

    • Ioanna

      I wish I’d thought of that, mint and strawberry ice cream is the perfect description for it, I completely agree :) xxx

    These colours are gorgeous, especially the Barry M one. I often wear different colours on alternate nails…it’s nice to switch it up a bit, plus i’m too indecisive to pick one colour :) Danielle x
