Dupes: Ciaté "Espadrilles" vs. Covergirl "Inferno"

Hi all and happy Saturday!  (Who else is enjoying a nice relaxing weekend?)  Today's nail polish is actually a comparison of Ciaté's "Espadrilles" and Covergirl's "Inferno."  The look so alike in the bottle that I knew I needed to compare them.  Here's how they look in the bottle:

Covergirl "Inferno" and Ciaté "Espadrilles."

In the bottle both nail polishes look nearly identical so I was curious how they looked on my nails.  After two coats both were opaque but Ciaté's "Espadrilles" was slightly more watery.  And just like the bottles I could not distinguish "Inferno and "Espadrilles" from each other.  In the macro below Ciaté's "Espadrilles" is on the left and Covergirl's "Inferno" is on the right:

Overall these two nail polishes are both stunning and gorgeous and are true dupes for each other.  I probably don't need both in my collection and given the choice I would pick Covergirl's "Inferno" just because the formula is slightly better.

Mani x Me Box - July 2019

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!  Today's nail polish is actually Maniology's Mani x Me Box for July 2019.  This is a subscription box that comes monthly and includes two stamping polishes, two stamping plates, a surprise nail item and some candy!  July's theme was bugs.  (I'm late posting sorry!)

This month's polishes are "Wild Wing" a gorgeous magenta shimmer and "Chrysalis" a pastel lime green.  Here are this month's nail polishes in the bottle:

"Wild Wings" and "Chrysalis."

The first plate in this month's box was MXM011 which features geometric bug designs.  Look how pretty it is:

The second plate was MXM012 which has everything butterfly related!  (I love butterflies so this plate will be getting a ton of use!)  Look at it:

The extra item in this month's Mani x Me box is duo chrome powder in the color "Scarab Wings."  I have never tried duo chrome powder and I cannot wait to give this beauty a go!  I mean look at it:

Overall this month's Mani x Me Box was another huge success!  I have been enjoying these since they started the subscription late last year and so far I have gotten great items and tried out lots of new nail art!

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Marine Scene"

Hi all and happy Sunday!  Today's nail polish is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Marine Scene" which I have had in my collection for ages.  Here's how "Marine Scene" looks in the bottle:

"Marine Scene" is a pretty turquoise blue with a yellow and green shimmer.  The formula of this nail polish was wonderful as it always has been.  After two coats "Marine Scene" was not quite opaque but it was streak free.  I applied a third coat of polish and then my nails looked stellar!  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Marine Scene" for three days before I began to notice chips.  Look at the shimmer:

Overall I am still huge fan of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's "Marine Scene."  Everything about this polish is wonderful and I continue to wear it often - especially in the Summertime when the weather is nice.

Live Love Polish "Supernova"

Hey everyone and happy Saturday!  The sun was shining and I spent the day at a mermaid themed birthday party - which means it was time to break out the glitter!  So without further ado, today's nail polish is Live Love Polish's "Supernova." Here's how this lovely glitter looks in the bottle:

"Supernova" is a chunky gold and silver glitter with blue stars wrapped in a clear base coat.  The formula of this nail polish is slightly watery but applied fairly well to my nails.  Since "Supernova" is in a clear base coat I couldn't resist trying it out over some creme polishes.

The first nail polish I tried with "Supernova" was Illimité's "Pale Fire."  This combination turned out so nicely and the pastel made the glitter pop.

The second color I tried with "Supernova" was Sephora Formula X's "Perfection."  This combination was subtle and was my favorite one that I tried out.

The third polish I tried with "Supernova" was Sinful Colors "Spaced Out."  This combo was very similar to the first but with less of a contrast - it was still pretty though.  Look at this gorgeous glitter up close:

Overall I really like Live Love Polish's "Supernova."  The blue star shaped glitter is a lot of fun and was super fun to wear!  I plan on keeping this polish in my collection for a long while to come and can't wait to try it out with other opaque polishes!

Sinful Colors "Savage"

Hello guys and happy Friday!  Who else is glad it is the weekend?  Today's nail polish is Sinful Colors "Savage" which has been in my collection for quite some time now.  Here's how this polish looks in the bottle:

"Savage" is a teal blue creme that has a surprising matte finish.  The formula of this nail polish was okay but I struggled to apply it to my nails.  After two coats, "Savage" was not really opaque and some nails had odd streak marks.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Savage" for about two or three days before it chipped.  The main downside of this polish was that it stains my nails terribly!  But the color is nice - look at it up close:

Overall I have truly mixed feelings of Sinful Colors "Savage."  The color is lovely but the major staining it caused my nails is why I've decided to retire this bottle from my collection.  That being said it is a drugstore brand and was very inexpensive so I don't feel bad about not keeping this nail polish.

Ciaté "Pom Pom"

Hey guys and happy Wednesday!  (We're halfway to the weekend!!)  Today's nail polish is Ciaté's "Pom Pom" which came as part of one of their annual Advent Calendars.  Here's how "Pom Pom" looks in the bottle:

"Pom Pom" is a happy cheerful red creme.  The formula of this nail polish was absolutely amazing!  After two coats, "Pom Pom" was completely opaque and streak free.  As for chipping, I was able to wear this polish for four days before I had a couple minor chips.  Look at this bright red up close:

Overall I am really pleased with Ciaté's "Pom Pom."  Everything about this nail polish is wonderful and I think it is a great year-round color!

OPI "Danny & Sandy 4 Ever"

Hi all and happy Tuesday!  Today's nail polish is OPI's "Danny & Sandy 4 Ever" from their Grease Collection.  As someone who has always loved the movie Grease I was thrilled to grab this polish when the collection came out.  Look how pretty this polish looks in the bottle:

"Danny & Sandy 4 Ever" is a deep dark navy blue with silver shimmer.  It is such a dark blue that it almost looks black most of the time.  The formula of "Danny & Sandy 4 Ever" was pretty good and applied nicely to my nails.  After two coats, the polish was entirely opaque and had no visible streak marks.  In terms of chipping, I was able to wear "Danny & Sandy 4 Ever" for five days before I noticed any chips.  Look at this beauty up close:

Overall I am thrilled with OPI's "Danny & Sandy 4 Ever."  Everything about this nail polish is fantastic and I am looking forward to wearing this polish again soon!
