BATTLE OF THE DUPES #5: Barry M vs. Rimmel

I have quite a few nail polishes in my collection and saw these two nail polishes next to each other and thought they looked like a dupe but polishes can dry differently when applied so would put it to the test.
Before applying the nail polishes I prepped my nails with my favourite base coat; which is Ciaté Nail Super Hero.

I applied the nail polish one by one, the brush on the Rimmel is better than the Barry M one.
After applying the second coat of both nail polishes they were a solid colour so no need for any extra layers.
I always apply another favourite of mine, my Barry M Sunset Daylight Curing Topcoat; which sets my nail polishes no matter what brand. What I did do was leave the nail polish colours on for about 15 minutes to see which one dries the quickest or sets better before applying the topcoat.
DAY #7: Started getting chips on all the Barry M nails, I am impressed that both nail polishes have lasted this long.
DAY #8: The Barry M nails kept getting worse so I decided to remove the nail polish and complete this blog post there.

Overall the Rimmel was better but that is because it didn't chip, both were the exact same colour so I would class it as a dupe.
