Sinful Colors Twilight & China Glaze Fast Track

Bonjour les petites fées! Aujourd'hui, je voulais vous montrer un autre des trésors que j'ai eu chez Pshiiit et que vous avez aperçu ici, le Full Spectrum de China Glaze. Mais je n'arrête pas de voir des articles sur les Prismatics sur la blogo en ce moment, donc on va attendre un peu! J'avais dans mes brouillons des photos de mon seul Sinful Colors, le Twilight, que voici en deux couches!

 

Vous savez que j'ai les beiges, et celui-ci ne fait pas exception. Et d'ailleurs, ce matin, j'en ai reçu un autre, le Fast Track de China Glaze, de la collection Hunger Games (oui, je suis encore dans la réception des colis de mon anniversaire, ça veut dire pleins de nouveautés pour vous!!). 

 

Sur le coup, j'ai cru qu'ils se ressemblaient, donc je les ai comparés.

 

à une couche, on pourrait presque y croire...

 

 

Mais en deux couches, il n'en est rien. Je pense comparer également Fast Track à Nite Owl d'Orly, mais ça sera pour une autre fois!!

Orly Birds of a Feather - Part 2 and comparisons

Back with Orly Birds of a Feather collection for the last three colours. I could say "my favourite colors", but that would be excluding Sweet Peacock and I really love it. But the three polishes I'm showing you today are "sure hits" with me, one violet, one grey and one beige.

First is Fowl Play, the one I had been eagerly waiting for ever since it was first talked of, because it was said to be a dupe of OPI Merry Midnight, a beautiful but hard to find polish from 2009 (last time I checked, it was at 24$ on Ebay). As you can read here, it seems the two are not exact dupes but they are close enough for me to be happy. Fowl Play is a dark purple jelly packed with orange, blue and red flakies. You see it here in two coats with base and top-coat.

This polish is just fireworks in a bottle: looking at my nails, I feel like I'm watching the sky on July 14th! In spite of my big stash of purple polishes, it's really unique and I have nothing to compare it too (at some point I thought Nfu Oh 51 was close, but both the base colour and the flakies make a completely different result).

Now we're entering the world of comparable polishes, with the grey Seagurl. Grey, metallic, applying like a dream, crazily glossy. Do I love it? Yessum! This is two coats, no top-coat.

I really thought I would have a close cousin for Seagurl, but it turns out I don't. I took out China Glaze Awaken and LM Cosmetic Ombre (my Chanel Black Pearl dupe) to show you the differences. Awaken is a blue-leaning dark grey, Ombre is a green-leaning dark grey, and I would say Seagurl is more black leaning, maybe with a bit of yellow. Seagurl is on my pointer, Awaken on my middle and Ombre on my ring finger.

Last but not least, this is Nite Owl. This is the other polish I wanted to grab from the start, be it only for the name (a reference to my famous Finnish twin brother!!), and because I love beiges. This one is light and without any trace of pink, it's not at all taupey, and it's packed with silver shimmer. As usual, two coats, and no top-coat either on the pics.

You see it compared to Sephora Killer Trendsetter (on the pointer) and Sinful Colors Twilight (on the ring finger). As you see, it's right in between both for the base colour, so no dupe there and I feel perfecly entitled in owning the three of them!!
