Ocktoberfest vs Shade 53 Comparison

Hi Everyone,

I have the OPI Every Month is Ocktoberfest comparison with 2True Shade 53 I mentioned last week. Are they dupes??...

This is two coats of both polishes and each applied lovely. So are they dupes? Well I think they are near exact! I can't tell the difference at all. Same inky purple base with redish purple glowing shimmer. Price difference? Major! 2true polishes are £1.99 while OPI polishes are £11.00. OPI bottles are much bigger though. So which will you be picking up, Ocktoberfest or Shade 53?

What are your thoughts?

H and M - From Warsaw With Love

Hellooo

I think I may be broke come Christmas, have you seen some of the fab collections coming out? With A England's Gothic Collection and Glitter Gal's new holos and without all the new indie brand releases like Ninja Polish, I'm going to be seriously poor. Well while your all feeling sorry for me, here is another polish I picked up on my H and M splurge. This is From Warsaw With Love.

Flash 

This is 3 coats of From Warsaw With Love. A strange colour. A magenta toned purple with glitter but it also has a brown/orange tone to it. I quite like it, I have nothing like it in my collection although I'm not sure it will be everyone's cup of cha? Again this one was under £3.00 and H and M.

OPI - Every Month Is Oktoberfest and Possible DUPE???

Afternoon dear readers,

Another post today and another OPI fall polish for you all to drool over. I so love Autumn collections. So looking forward to all those browns, greens and vampy shades hitting the shelves. This one is Every Month is Oktoberfest, one which has received quite some hype, however I think I have a possible dupe for it!!!.

This is 3 coats of Every Month Is Oktoberfest, a stunning inky purple based shimmer. Such an awesome shade. Formula good on this applied nicely. Application brush much better on this one too compared to German-icure. However I think its a near dupe for 2true's Shade 53, it has the same inky puple base. I will have to do a side by side comparison for you soon. Below are the Shade 53 swatches I done back in April.

2 TRUE - SHADE 53  

Look very similar huh? I can't say for sure but they are definitely close. 2true retail for £1.99 a polish at Superdrugs, so if your saving the pennies and looking for something on trend then Shade 53 could be your alternative. OPI polishes are around £11 a pop here.

What do you all think? Possible dupe?

Catrice - Heavy Metallilac

Hello All,

How you all keeping? got a few camera problems at the moment, my usb lead is broke :-( so awaiting another one in the post. I have a few swatches to put up but they will have to wait. Today I have a polish which featured heavily on the blog network Catrice - Heavy Metalilac. The only Catrice I own.

Flash

This is two coats of Heavy Metallilac. It a purple metallic which contains a glowing shimmer. My pictures do not do it any justice. Probably one of the most blinging purples I own. Formula was really thick but for a shade like this I don't mind. Excuse the cuticles in the shots I was swatching glitter before and it was a bugger to remove. Luckily I got this in a swap. 


So hopefully new posts up and running soon as I get the new usb cable. What a pain.

Miss Sporty - 313

Hello Folks

A purple post today, I picked this one up a while back. This is Miss Sporty - 313. Miss Sporty polishes don't really get that much attention however I think they are an absolute bargain.

Natural Light

This is two coats of 313, could of done with a third as I have a little balding on my pinky. Formula was on the thin side. The shade however is deep and shiny. The bottle looks amazing with shimmer all twirled inside. Cost £1.99 either from Superdrugs or Miss Sporty online.

Glitter Gal - Dark Purple aka Bruised Ego 3D/Holo

Hello Everyone,

Another hot sunny day here in the UK so a perfect opportunity to get out a holo polish (like I need an excuse). By the way, thought I would let you ladies and a few gents know that when I popped into Superdrug at the weekend, they was running an amazing deal on Bloom products, 1/2 price! plus 3 for 2 and I got my student discount on top of that! If your local store still carries Bloom products, check it out. I'll show you the two polishes I picked up soon as I get a chance. Now holo time, today's choice is Glitter Gal - Dark Purple also known as Bruised Ego.

This is 2 coats of Dark Purple, glorious isn't it? Applied perfectly. I purchased mine from Llarowe here although there are a few other sellers are holding this brand such as Ninja Polish.

What polish is your go to 'sunny day' polish?

W7 Blue Lagoon

Howdy folks

It's been awhile since I cracked open a bottle of W7 polish. Today I have for you another favourite of mine, Blue Lagoon.

Flash

This is 3 coats of Blue Lagoon. A vibrant royal blue with purple shimmer/sheen, on the way to being a 'blurple'. Has some random silver glitter in there too. W7 polishes are such great value for money, slighty skinky with the not so free 3 formula, but they do have some amazing shades. Price £1.99 online.

New 2true Shade 53

Hello Everyone

Another 2true polish today, Shade 53. It seems that 2true had not only released pastels but also some dark vampy shades to their collection.

Please excuse the manky cuticles! Can't tell you how much I love this polish. This is two coats of Shade 53. A purple based polish with purple iridescent shimmer with hints of brown and red, I think very similar to Zoya Jem, although way cheaper. I've been sporting this one all week. Nearly a one coater too!

Enjoy
