Do you need both? Texture Polish Dupes

Alright, so do y'all remember the other day when I did the Texture Glitter Stripe manicure? Well that brought to light two possible dupes that I had in the blue range. While I was comparing those I grabbed a few other polishes to compare for you as well. I have 5 comparisons for you today, count them 5! Lets get down to business.
Up first is Julie G Sleigh Ride and Zoya Liberty.
Up first is Julie G Sleigh Ride and Zoya Liberty.
As far as I can tell these are exact dupes in color. The only difference is that Liberty is a much finer glitter so the feel is different. Both are huge stainers. Also the price point is very different. If you have one, you don't need both.
Next we have OPI Jinx vs. Julie G Sugar Rush.
Jinx is not quite as bright as Sugar Rush, as it has a brighter red base. Sugar Rush is a much chunkier glitter and has a more difficult formula. I'd say these two are similar but not the same. Personally, I prefer Jinx over Sugar Rush.
Our third comparison is Zoya Carter vs. Julie G Sugar Plum Fairy.
I thought these two would be much closer, until I got them next together. As you can see Zoya is a brighter purple glitter in a blackened base while Sugar Plum Fairy is more of a deep plum glitter in the same color base. I love them both and I'm so glad that I have them both.
Now lets look at Julie G HoHoHo vs. Zoya Miranda.
These two are very similar with small differences. HoHoHo is a bit of a brighter pink base with silver glitters. Miranda is a darker pink with golden glitters. Those are very minor differences that you can only see when you have your fingers right in fron of your eyeballs. From a distance they look exactly the same. Unless you're crazy (like me) you don't need both of these in your collection.
Finally we have Julie G Blueberry Fizz vs. OPI Kiss Me at Midnight.
In the bottle these two look very similar, but once you apply them they are different. Blueberry Fizz is a much lighter blue than Kiss Me at Midnight. Kiss Me at Midnight also has silver hexes that catch the light and make for a great finish. You probably don't need both, but OPI is the winner in my book here.
Which ones do you prefer?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Why combine them in nail art of course!!
Today I bring you textured stripes in shades of blue. This actually brought to light some possible dupes, so I'll be bringing you that post in the very near future.

In real life this mani was so much better. The shades of blue were much more noticeable but my camera had troubles differentiating between the colors.
I don't remember what order I went in but here is a list of all the polishes used. Julie G Blueberry Fizz, OPI Kiss Me at Midnight, Zoya Sunshine, OPI Tiffany Case, Julie G Sleigh Ride, and Zoya Liberty.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Hot Cinnamon & Blueberry Fizz

Today I have for you two of the six Julie G Frosted Gum Drops collection. Be sure to tune in Thursday and Saturday for the rest of the collection.
I got these polishes from the Groupon Deal and then had to wait FOREVAH for them to get. Seriously, waiting on them seemed like ages. When they finally got here, my life got to busy and I couldn't get them swatched for you until now.
There are six colors in this collection. Hot Cinnamon Blueberry Fizz, Tangerine Dream, Rock Candy, Sugar Rush, and Crushed Candy. Three warm colors and three cool colors. I'm going to show you one of each. Aren't you excited?
First up, Hot Cinnamon. When they say "Hot" they mean it. This color is a bright classic red with some tiny bits of gold sparkle thrown in. This color is a great way to stay classic but with a punch of unexpected texture. I'm in love with this color.

Hot Cinnamon applies easily and you are looking at two easy coats. I did take time in between each coat to minimize dragging, but the dry time was comparable to the OPI Liquid Sand polishes that I have. The glitter/gritty pieces in these polishes are also much finer than the OPI's but I'm okay with that. :-) Lets take one more look at Hot Cinnamon.
Next I'm going to show you Blueberry Fizz.
To me, Blueberry Fizz looked brighter and a bit more vibrant in the bottle than it does on my nails. However, I like the color, so don't let my previous statement fool you. This is an almost light denim color with larger silver glitters mixed in. The large glitters really shine here and I love them.
Dry time and application were the same here as with the first polish. Two coats and waiting in between to minimize the dragging.
I really enjoy this line of polishes and I can't wait to show you the other four. Come back tomorrow to see Tangerine Dream and Rock Candy.
What do you think of textured polishes? Yay or nay?
Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee
