I got a couple/few of each to try out and compare to each other and tothings already in my collection. Today I have taupes to share (though the sharing is today, the swatching took place a week ago; comparing these to yesterday's post shows how much my nails grow in a week).
Incidently, 10 Pro appears to be using the same bottle manufacturer as Arissa and Nailtek. I didn't find any bottles in my stash shaped like Confetti, but there are plenty of brands I don't have in my stash.
Anyway, back to the taupes. Moonstruck and Showtime looked like dupes in the bottle, and they stayed that way on the nail.
The biggest difference was Moonstruck took three coats, while Showtime only took two, so if that holds for the other colors as well, Pro 10 provides pretty much the same value per dollar as the lower priced Confetti.
I then bared two of my nails and put China Glaze Channelesque on them (that took three coats; I know lots of people find Channelesque a two-coater, but my bottle takes three—maybe I got one from a thin batch) and couldn't tell the difference. I believe we have not just a dupe for Channelesque here, but two of them.
Since Channelsque is getting harder to find (and is not Big 3 free), the Pro 10 is a great alternative (if you live in the land of CVS or know someone who does).
this was a great post ! Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteThese sold out so fast in my area. I was only able to find one color that I like.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to try it yet thou.

ReplyDeletewhy we don't have these cuties, here?
ReplyDelete:(

Thank you for showing the colors. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this! I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to check out Confetti when I'm back in the US. Thanks for the pics!
ReplyDeleteI went to CVS on Friday and picked up 2 of these.
ReplyDeleteGreat swatching!
What Theallamenta said!
ReplyDeleteFrom the displays it looks like they have some nice colors :)
Interesting find
ReplyDeleteOooh I'm a true loser if it comes to taupe colors. They are so beautiful. Absolutely the best fall and winter color :)
ReplyDeleteI picked up a bunch of these at my CVS too--I was so surprised to see two new brands at the same time. I have a few of those 10 Pros from the dollar store also, they come in the weirdest bottles!
ReplyDeletePretty swatches, I'm probably going to swatch some of mine soon.
