I've been wanting to do a dupe post for a while.
In my years of collecting it is inevitable that I end up with similar colours.
Which is which?!
Can you guess?
Pointer: OPI - Just Spotted the Lizard (3 coats)
Index: Color Club - Editorial (2 coats)
Ring: Revlon - Gold (3 coats)
All top coated with Jordana Quick Dry.
Day 29: Duochrome love
I've been forever loving a good duo, but they are incredibly hard to photograph. Like, almost impossible.
I managed to get sent 4 of the 8 (7?) in this range sent to be as a swap, and I picked up the 5th in a destash. The Lustre Shine range has some gorgeous colours, but they are very gentle duos. They're not as strikingly obvious as say, OPI Just spotted the lizard or ILNP's offerings.
Sally Hansen - Firefly is a 3-coat-opaque metallic-ish finish. It'll show up all the imperfections (you can see the lines of my peeling nails and the wearing-off-gel-polish in the pictures. Flashes copper-yellow-green if you can get the right light hitting it.
Daaaaaaaay 24!
Color clubs for life, yo!
Color Club - Port-folio
Accent: Color Club / Ruby Wings - Fate
I love love love love this purple. And you know how they say its impossible to photograph a duochrome? Its Freaking Impossible.
Its a shimmery grape purple with an emerald green flash.
Day 23
Hitting the Color Clubs still.
Color Club / Ruby Wings - Fate
Accent: Color Club - Port-Folio
Its meant to be a strong colour change, but its not. At least on me. I get maaaaybe a few shades darker, but not enough to be obvious.
Purple!
And a little bit of sparkle.
Revlon Passionate Fruit is a red-toned purple with a sweet fruity scent.
Due to the scented oil, it does take a little longer to dry than standard colours.
Ring Finger is Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple.
These colours are gorgeous, and I love the duochromeness. But the dry time. Oh gosh the dry time. It takes FOREVER. Hence the wrinkles. Not only does the base take forever to dry, but it re-activates the base colour to such a degree that it takes everything with it if it moves.
Every part of me wants to use a 2nd coat for a greater colour payoff, but I couldn't stomach the thought of waiting another hour for one coat to dry.
