Before I could get polishing to try these, I had to fix a problem with the brush on the L'Oreal:
As you can see, none of these are dupes. Starting at the top, the Maybelline needed five (!) coats; it's the darkest of these four. Next up is three coats of the Zoya; what looks like visible nail line there is a problem with the nail underneath that I usually disguise better with gobs of ridgefiller. Revlon Beach was the lightest and yellowest of these; I used four coats. Finally, the L'Oreal was the least shimmery; I used three coats. I'm not sure which is my top pick here. I like the color and finish of the Maybelline the best, but five coats is right out; I suppose I could layer it over my favorite of the lime cremes, SH Grass Slipper.
That brush is seriously scary. :(
ReplyDeleteI like the PINKIE the best. :)

i love ell this green !!
ReplyDeleteI like the Maybelline the best! You sure do have a slew of limes!
ReplyDeleteI like the Maybelline's color best too. But 5 coats doesn't seem to be winning me over on that.
ReplyDeleteI like the side by side comparisons. You'd think they'd be closer in color but on the nail, it's not so.
Great comparison posts! I like the Revlon and the Maybelline

I immediately opted for the Maybelline. 5 coats is excessive though.
