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!

Orly Cashmere Cardigan

I've been wanting to post this for a while, but didn't have time for it yet. I will make this up to you, I promise!

Deze foto is van vóórdat ik mijn nagels afgelopen week brak; ik had in één dag 3 gebroken nagels en daardoor besloten ze allemaal kort te vijlen.

This picture if from before I broke three nails in one day. Now I have nubbins: I decided to file them all down so they would be of the same length.



Dit is twee laagjes, zonder topcoat en zonder flits
This is two coats, no topcoat and no flash



With flash

De eerste foto is accurater wat kleur betreft. Ik vind de kleur geweldig! De naam past perfect bij de lak en ben dan ook heel blij met mijn Cashmere Cardigan. De lak was prima qua structuur en vrij snel droog. Ik ben Orly steeds meer gaan waarderen!

The first picture is a little more accurate color-wise. I love this color! The name fits the polish perfectly and I am really happy with my Casmere Cardigan. The structure of the polish was fine and dried pretty quickly. I'm starting to love Orly more and more..

Thank you for stopping by!

PS: still haven't got all my older posts to this blog. I will be posting them soon!
