Random Bottle Comparisons

Today I want to share a few photos of bottle comparisons I took. I happened to have most of these polishes sitting out on my desk - yes, it was very cluttered! And noticed a lot of similarities. Hopefully this will help anyone who is looking for potential dupes. All of these photos are very color accurate.

Illamasqua Lament vs. Cult Nails Scandalous vs. American Apparel Sunset Blvd

As you can see, Lament is the most pink. Scandalous is very jelly, a tad lighter and more orange.

Illamasqua Monogamous vs. OPI My Very First Knockwurst vs. Zoya Pandora

Monogamous is a wax finish and leans yellow; Knockwurst is noticeably pink, and Pandora has a silvery shimmer which is pretty much invis

China Glaze Def Defying vs. Illamasqua Radium vs. American Apparel Crescent Blvd

Def Defying is more green than the other two; Radium has a shimmer that is lost on the nail and still leans more yellow than Crescent B

Illamasqua Cameo vs. Deborah Lippman I Know What Boys Like vs. Illamasqua Force

Cameo is obviously lighter than the others. I Know What Boys Like and Force are dupes, in my opinion.

Illamasqua Rampage vs. American Apparel Hunter

Rampage is darker, jelly, and more yellow-toned than Hunter.

Illamasqua Nomad vs. China Glaze Aquadelic vs. Essie Turquoise and Caicos

These are really much different. Aquadelic is noticeably aqua, T&C is sort of in between, and Nomad is definitely a minty green.

I hope this is helpful to anyone looking for potential dupes!

Stay Behind, Catch a Wave!

Today I have for you a mani from when my nails were longer - I wish I could get them to this length again! Unfortunately making polish is very hard on my hands, I guess. This mani was China Glaze Aquadelic with Elevation Polish Stay Behind, Catch a Wave - a gorgeous turquoise glitter topper with circle glitter! This combination is so perfect and bubbly, it really makes me think of the ocean.

Happy Revolution: Project Badass

 As I'm sure you've heard by now, I have collaborated with Polish Revolution to create the Project Badass collection, inspired by It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (one of the best TV shows, ever!) We call our collab Happy Revolution, and are happy to have perfectly combined our styles and logos to create this collection. Lauryn of PR and I are best friends, and it was so much fun working with her on this!

Rum Ham: Eating your drinks? That is genius! Get drunk at sea with this deliciously boozy polish. A pink jelly with copper, pink, brown, pineapple and cherry colored glitters.

The Nightman Cometh: Nightman, sneaky and mean; spider inside my dreams, I think I love you. You too can have sexy hands like Nightman, with this polish! A glitter topcoat with black, lime, gold, and white glitter.

Nightcrawlers: What is Nightcrawlers? Why, it's a game where you crawl around in the night like worms.. and this polish is perfect for the occasion, without ruining it with blankets. This is a wine-colored jelly with matte gray, silver, gunmetal, and burgundy glitters and red micro glitter.

Flip Flip Flipadelphia: For those moments when you're reigniting old rivalries or playing flip cup (or both). A gray jelly with red, gunmetal, and silver glitter.

Champion of the Sun: Dayman, fighter of the Nightman, champion of the sun, he's a master of karate and friendship for everyone. Wear this polish and you can be a champion of the sun, too! A sunny jelly with orange, gold, and yellow glitter with shimmer.

Kitten Mittens: Is your cat making too much noise all the time?... Think there's no answer? You're so stupid! There is! Kitten Mittens. An adorable white jelly with white, black, bubblegum, and baby blue glitters.

Aluminum Monster: You can wear this polish under your prom dress, or let it shine on it's own in all of it's glory! A black jelly with teal shimmer and holographic teal, gold, and silver glitter.

GreenMan: Wearing this green polish will help you get through some hard times, and to party in style! A bright green jelly with neon green and lime iridescent glitters.

There you have it, the complete Project Badass Collection from the Happy Revolution collaboration! All of these polishes are available in both of my shops (Etsy and Big Cartel) as well as Polish Revolution's shop.
