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

Julie G Holiday Frosted Gumdrops Collection

You might have seen on Facebook or Twitter that I recently got the entire Julie G Holiday Frosted Gumdrops Collection. I love their first collection, so naturally I wanted this in its entirety, and at $3.99 a pop, you can't go wrong.
The formula on all of these is stunning. 2 easy coats and they apply beautifully.
Ho Ho Ho is a pink leaning red polish.
Mistletoe is a sumptuous forest green. This one is by far my favorite. Look at it! It's so pretty!

Silver Bells is just that a straight up silver. However, the texture in this makes it awesome.
Gift of Gold is an antique gold which when paired with the texture makes it beautiful.
Sleigh Ride is a luscious rich royal blue. My gawd I love this one.
Finally we have Sugar Plum Fairy. My pictures do not do this color justice. It's actually a much brighter purple, but for some reason that wouldn't show on my camera. :-(
Which one is your favorite? I love Mistletoe and Sleigh Ride.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
