Welcome to pt.2 :D
Not only buyings, here, but a swap too: as usual, my nailpolish-fairy
Sabbatha gave me some bottles I had in my WL... Must be sort of a nailpolish-mine hidden somewhere in a forest in Poland, and she knows how to extract them :D
From top:
- Sally Hansen "Purple Gala"
♥;
- Sally Hansen "Mystic Lilac"
♥;
- Essie "Turquoise&Caicos"
♥;
- bonus: NatRobbins "Greed"
♥, well pictured (and compared)
here. I guess this would be a gorgeous layering green too, because it's pretty sheer on its own, but gives a great green metallic effect when pur over something else.
Some days ago, I compulsively purchased two beauties from Stargazer which I had pinned in my mind after buying the
first two:
These are n. 303 the blue one ("Lunar Eclipse" dupe? I hope so :D) and n. 305 the purple one, I'll leave you just with the pictures :D
They're beautiful, cheap, 14ml and you can find them on eBay.
Then, I wanna try wearing a crackle nailpolish on its own, trying to cover the entire nail; that's because I found this great
indigo-with-gold-and-green-irregular-shaped-glitters which I would LOVE as a regular nail varnish:
Obviously a Deborah crackle, n. 04.
As you may have noticed, Deborah (and Debby) is growing in terms of interesting offers to italian nailpolish fanatics: lately, they released five shades with that batch of metallic pigments we've admired in Sephora's "
Diving in Malaysia", Chanel's "Péridot" and another million of sub-brands :D
By now, I just took n. 71 "Scarabeo Green" with me, as the other ones are dupes of other Chanel/Sephora colours - there's a couple of them I'm still interested in, but I don't want to buy the tenth purple/green duochrome or the third "Péridot" dupe, so I'll have to scan them
very carefully...
Stregalice bought more bottles and did comparisons,
take a look!
I searched for a similar shade in my Helmer, and found Kiko n. 352: they contain undoubtedly the same pigment, but consistency, base and formula aren't the same at all:
Test on cap: see the difference? N. 71 is clearly
waaaaayy more dense and saturated (it's like green molted metal bottled), while Kiko has a grey base, silver glitters and, I suppose, a lighter amount of blue-green colour in it.
Angled view shows it's the same pigment.
Have a nice day/night/whatever and thanks for your attention
