Dupes: Essie "Ballet Slippers" vs. Essie "Ballet Sneakers"

Hi guys and happy Monday!  Today's post is a comparison of Essie's "Ballet Slippers" and "Ballet Sneakers."  Essie recently launched a collection where they re-did several of their most popular polishes with a twist.  In this case "Ballet Slippers" is the original and "Ballet Sneakers" is the redo.  I was curious how alike/different these polishes are.  Here's how they look in the bottle:

"Ballet Slippers" and "Ballet Sneakers" are both pastel pink cremes.  The formula of both nail polishes are very similar - both are good and applied easily to my nails.  "Ballet Slippers" is far less pink, almost a neutral cream color while "Ballet Sneakers" is a traditional baby pink.  Both required four coats to be even and smooth on the nail.  Here's how they compare up close:

Overall it is a toss up between Essie's "Ballet Slippers" and "Ballet Sneakers."  The original ("Ballet Slippers") is perfect for French tips but the newer version ("Ballet Sneakers") is such a pretty stand alone color.  I'll be keeping both in my collection!

China Glaze "Bring On The Bubbly"

Hello everyone and happy Sunday!  Sorry for the gap between posts - I had knee surgery and have been recovering.  Today's nail polish is China Glaze's "Bring On The Bubbly."  Here's how this beauty looks in the bottle:

"Bring On The Bubbly" is a pretty gold and silver glitter in a clear base.  The glitter is all sorts of random sizes and the silver glitter is almost iridescent - it is so gorgeous!  The formula of "Bring On The Bubbly" is good and applied easily to my nails.  But like most glitters it is not meant to be opaque and can be worn over other polishes - is I decided to try it out!

I wore "Bring On The Bubbly" over Maniology's "Luna" to create a neutral but gorgeous glittery look!  This combination surprised me with how pretty it was - it made a statement but I could easily get away with this look in the office.  Look how pretty:

I can not even say how gorgeous this glitter is - look at it up close:

Overall I am really happy with China Glaze's "Bring On The Bubbly."  The gold and silver combo is so pretty and I cannot wait to try it out over more opaque polishes!
