Comparison Time

Hi all!

It's time for some comparisons again! There are three comparisons again this time, so let's get started.

A little roundup

First up is a comparison between Chanel Nouvelle Vague and Orly Gumdrop.

Left Orly Gumdrop, right Chanel Nouvelle Vague. As you can see, they are dupes! The only difference is the really subtle shimmer that Nouvelle Vague holds and Gumdrop is a teeeeenie bit more blue, but the difference is barely visible. Gumdrop is easier to get your hands on and it's a budget friendly alternative if you want Chanel Nouvelle Vague.

Next up: a coincidental dupe! I bought Kinetics Shall We Dance? at Alice and Jo's havesentials and found out it looked really close to GOSH Purple Heart.

Left GOSH Purple Heart, Kinetics Shall We Dance? on the right. The only difference is the way the light hits these polishes. These polishes are identical. They're both evenly duochrome-y (which I couldn't really capture on the wheel) and have the same smokey dark purple, mossy green colors. These are dupes.

Last but not least of this comparison post, I have two periwinkle cremes for you; China Glaze Secret Peri-winkle and Orly Cashmere Cardigan.

Secret Peri-Winkle on the left, Cashmere Cardigan on the right. Please imagine this is more periwinkle (a tad bit of purple), because the color freaked out my camera. These are not dupes. Secret Peri-Winkle is lighter and a bit dustier than Cashmere Cardigan, while Cashmere Cardigan leans more towards purple. The difference is big enough to justify you owning both ;) These are not dupes.

And of course, to round it all up.. A little summary in the form of a shot of the nailwheel;



These were the comparisons I had for you, dear reader! If you have requests for more comparisons, feel free to ask me!

Thanks for stopping by!

Kinetics Mysterious Cloud

Hi all!

Ik voelde me de afgelopen tijd niet zo goed, dus vandaar dat jullie niet zoveel updates hebben gezien. Ik had gewoonweg geen puf om mijn nagels te doen - in anderhalve week tijd heb ik mijn nagels twee keer gelakt (I kid you not!) maar ik zal het normale posten hervatten wanneer ik me weer beter voel. Vandaag heb ik een lak van een minder bekend merk voor jullie: Kinetics Mysterious Cloud.

I haven't been feeling too well lately, so that's why you didn't see as many updates as you're used to. I didn't feel like polishing lately, so I did my nails twice in one and a half week (I kid you not!) but I will resume swatching and posting when I feel better. Today I have a polish from a lesser known brand for you: Kinetics Mysterious Cloud.


Kinetics Mysterious Cloud, drie laagjes. Mijn foto is niet helemaal accuraat qua kleur; de lak heeft een meer rode dan blauwe ondertoon. Mysterious cloud is een lavendelkleurige creme in dezelfde sfeer als Illamasqua Wink. Volgens mij zijn de twee lakken geen dupes, maar dat zou ik eens moeten bekijken via een comparison.

Kinetics Mysterious Cloud, three coats in daylight. My picture isn't really color accurate; it's more red based than blue based - as my picture shows. Mysterious Cloud is a lavender colored creme with a similar feeling as Illamasqua Wink. I don't think they are dupes, but I will check that later on in a comparison.

De lak is goed van structuur en ook het kwastje is fijn, maar dat wist ik eigenlijk al van My Blue Heaven en Luxury Purple. De droogtijd is prima en wat mij betreft zijn deze lakken echt aanraders!

The structure of the polish is good, as well as the brush. I knew this already because I wore My Blue Heaven and Luxury Purple before, but I wanted to mention this once more. Drying time was good and in my opinion these polishes are really recommended!

Voor mijn Nederlandse lezers is het goed om te weten dat er sinds kort een Nederlandse webshop is die deze lakken verkoopt. Aliceandjohavesentials.nl verkoopt sinds kort Kinetics nagellak! Ik was helemaal hyper toen ik het hoorde. De lakken kosten € 5,79 per stuk en voor de prijs van de verzending hoef je het al helemaal niet te laten; ik was voor 5 lakken € 1,50 kwijt. Toen ik bestelde hadden ze nog niet alle kleurtjes, maar er werd mij verteld dat hieraan gewerkt werd :).
