Dupes my bad- OPI vs. Sinful Colors

Hey y'all, it's Monday (I know right, already)! So I've been meaning to post this. I just got the SC polish Flower Power and I knew it reminded me of another pink lacquer-glitter formula. 

Sinful Colors "Flower Power" & OPI "The Power of Pink" (from the Breast Cancer Awareness duo of 2014) is the same formula.... This is 3 coats of both, no top coat. I actually find that the SC one applies thicker than OPI.

What do you think, dupe or nope?

Dupes, my bad- Yellow Textured polish

Hi peeps!! Happy Friday Eve lol! I did a quick comparison here of two textured polishes. 


The OPI one is called You're so flippy floppy & Sinful Colors Face the Facets. I think they're not a dupe, the SC one is much brighter while the OPI is dull, what do you think? This is 3 coats of both.

Dupes my bad- Sinful Colors Opi China Glaze

Hey people, I am so mad that I waited this late to post this, after have been thinking about it all day. I have some dupe polishes that I'd like to show you from my stash.

This is Sinful Colors "Mint Tropics", CG "Shore Enuff" and OPI "You're so outta lime". This is 2 coats w/o a top coat. I say the CG & OPI are a close catch.


These other ones are a fun multicolored glitter formula polish which are, Sinful Colors "Pride" & OPI "Chasing Rainbows". The gold octagon glitters in the OPI polish are bigger.


Pretty good comparison right?! Do you own any of these polishes?

Dupes, My Bad- Neon Orange

Hi ladies, surprised to see me on a Sunday huh....me too!! I was sitting looking at my stash and started thinking about my next dupe post. I realized I have at least 4 dupes of neon orange polishes so I chose that color to swatch.

The first neon polish I have which I am wearing on my pinky is by Fingr's and it's called "RE-Orange My Closet", on my ring finger is Color Club's "Wham! Pow!", middle finger is showing you China Glaze "Japanese Koi" and index finger shows you Cynthia Rowley "Neon Orange". They are similar in color but not in formula. The Fingr's, Color Club and China Glaze are consistent in smooth application, while the Cynthia Rowley is very, very streaky even with 3 coats. 

I do see that the Fingr's polish is slightly darker from the rest of the colors. All were applied with 3 coats without a top coat.

"DUPES, my bad"-Yellow

Good morning ladies, how are you on this rainy, dark Monday (or at least it is in Florida).

On my blog today is a new segment I'm starting called "DUPES, my bad". I've seen several bloggers do a comparison post (The PolishAholic & Peachy Polish just to name two) & I find it to be a great idea. For one it's good to know so that you can't avoid dupes and for 2, you can buy this brand as a dupe if you aren't able to get the original brand you wanted.

My choice for the comparison is yellow. Yellow looks good on me and I find myself pretending not to have the perfect yellow. I've chosen 5 yellows which do vary in color and application.
OPI- Need Sunglasses is a canary yellow which you will find opaque in 3 coats.

American Apparel- Sunshine State is also a canary yellow, it streaks on tr first coat but is opaque in 3 coats.

Sinful Colors- Chick Chick is more of a mustard yellow. 

Color Club- Almost Famous is a bright neon yellow in person. If layered on top of white it really pops.

*all polishes were applied with 3 coats and no top coat was used.
