Comparison Time

Hi all!

It's time for some comparisons again! There are three comparisons again this time, so let's get started.

A little roundup

First up is a comparison between Chanel Nouvelle Vague and Orly Gumdrop.

Left Orly Gumdrop, right Chanel Nouvelle Vague. As you can see, they are dupes! The only difference is the really subtle shimmer that Nouvelle Vague holds and Gumdrop is a teeeeenie bit more blue, but the difference is barely visible. Gumdrop is easier to get your hands on and it's a budget friendly alternative if you want Chanel Nouvelle Vague.

Next up: a coincidental dupe! I bought Kinetics Shall We Dance? at Alice and Jo's havesentials and found out it looked really close to GOSH Purple Heart.

Left GOSH Purple Heart, Kinetics Shall We Dance? on the right. The only difference is the way the light hits these polishes. These polishes are identical. They're both evenly duochrome-y (which I couldn't really capture on the wheel) and have the same smokey dark purple, mossy green colors. These are dupes.

Last but not least of this comparison post, I have two periwinkle cremes for you; China Glaze Secret Peri-winkle and Orly Cashmere Cardigan.

Secret Peri-Winkle on the left, Cashmere Cardigan on the right. Please imagine this is more periwinkle (a tad bit of purple), because the color freaked out my camera. These are not dupes. Secret Peri-Winkle is lighter and a bit dustier than Cashmere Cardigan, while Cashmere Cardigan leans more towards purple. The difference is big enough to justify you owning both ;) These are not dupes.

And of course, to round it all up.. A little summary in the form of a shot of the nailwheel;



These were the comparisons I had for you, dear reader! If you have requests for more comparisons, feel free to ask me!

Thanks for stopping by!

GOSH Holographic

Vandaag heb ik mijn NOTD voor jullie: GOSH Holographic.

Today I've got my NOTD for you: GOSH Holographic.



Dit is drie laagjes en deze foto is genomen zonder flits, terwijl het al donker was. Zoals je kunt zijn is deze lak errûg holo! Ik vind het geweldig! Ik heb tot nu toe niet heel veel gehad met holografische lakken, maar ik denk dat daar verandering in komt nu ik deze geweldige holo heb gezien. De lak zelf was slecht van structuur. Op het kwastje zaten al klontjes en het was daarom moeilijk om het even op de nagels te krijgen. Erg jammer, maar gelukkig is het wel een geweldige lak, dat maakt veel goed :)

This is three coats and this picture is taken inside without flash, while it was already dark outside. As you can see this is a very pretty holo! I didn't really like holo's before, but I might change my opinion after wearing this beauty. Application of this one was bad. The polish was all lumpy and bumpy on the brush, while this was the first time using it (I just bought my bottle today). It was hard to even the polish on my nails because of the uneven structure. Fortunately there was a great polish to look at after applying this :).

GOSH is te koop bij onder andere het Kruidvat en kost € 6,49 per lak.

Dit was het voor vandaag! Morgen heb ik de Go Snow Collection van Essence voor jullie met drie erg lichte lakjes: lichtroze, lichtpaars en lichtblauw. Hopelijk zie ik jullie morgen!

So this was it for today. Tomorrow I have the Essence Go Snow Collection for you. The collection contains of three very light colors: light pink, light purple and babyblue. I hope to see you then!

Thanks for stopping by!
