Polishes Dupes..
As pointed out to me by my 10 year old daughter!! Hello all again, I'm here with a post that I really wasn't expecting to be doing. But over the weekend I was going through my polishes with my daughter, when she pointed out to me I had polishes that looked the same and I had no idea! So I thought it would make an interesting blog post.
So we have Barry M Silk in Mist vs 2true shade 48, Barry M Silk in Heather vs 2true shade 11, and Models own Indian Ocean vs Jess Breathless. On looking at the in the bottles I can see some similarities, but lets take a look when painted on my nails..
Mist vs shade 48 looked more like each other in the bottle. 2 coats of the Barry M whereas the 2true took 3 coats and no topcoat. Both are very pretty but no exact dupes. Barry M Silk priced at £3.99 and 2true priced at £1.99.
Heather vs shade 11 are very similar, the only difference is the finish. They are a very close colour match. 2 coats of the Barry M and 2 coats of 2true, again no topcoat. Barry M silk priced at £3.99 and 2true at £1.99.
Indian Ocean vs Breathless. These two were the closest match of the 3. But the Jess took more coats, Models Own only took 2 coats, but to get the same look the Jess took 4!! The shift between blue and pink in the sun is exactly the same. Models Own from the Beetle Juice Collection priced at £4.99 and Jess priced at £1.00.
I had fun doing this post, hope you like it too :)
Stay safe and much love...
What a fun idea for a post. I think they're all different enough that you obvs need to keep them all!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I will be :) thank you xx
DeleteLove to see comparisons! Indian Ocean and Breathless looks super close and they are both very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI love comparison posts! It's crazy how similar they look until you get them on the nail.
ReplyDeleteSure is! I can't wait to show my daughter as this post was mainly down to her pointing these polishes out to me. I must be slacking lol x

ReplyDeleteI love comparison posts!! My husband tries to tell me all the time I "already have that color" when I want a new one :P
ReplyDeleteLol I didn't even no. But just goes to show how much we like polish :)
DeleteI love comparison posts! It's interesting how different they can look on the nail when they look so similar in the bottle.
ReplyDeleteSure is, I loved doing this, will have another look through and maybe do another post soon x
DeleteGreat post! I do love a good "dupes" post! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. It is when you look at the difference in price x
DeleteI love comparisons posts! All of these are so pretty in their own way!!
ReplyDeleteThey are, and thank you x
DeleteWow those really are close! I tend not to recognize dupes in my collection unless I am asked to find a dupe for something.
ReplyDeleteThis post is all thanks to my 10 yr old daughter x
DeleteGreat post, it shows these must be your favorite colors. that's why you were prompted to get more of shades you already had, without even realizing it ;)
ReplyDeleteSure does lol, thank you :)
DeleteIt's always nice to see possible dupes!
ReplyDeleteEspecially when there's a difference in price :)
DeleteI love reading comparison posts, you did a great job. Definitely do some more.
