I love
glitters, and it's only a bonus if they're holographic. So I've
collected a few polishes that look quite alike. I decided to compare
them to see how alike they really are.
I've chosen:
1. China Glaze - Fairy Dust
2. Inglot - 201
3. Viva la Diva - 72
4. Orly - Prima Gloss Silver
5. Wet n Wild - Kaleidoscope
 |
| China Glaze: Fairy Dust, Inglot: 201, Viva la Diva: 72, Orly: Prima Gloss Silver, Wet n Wild: Kaleidoscope |
They're
all silver holographic glitters, and they all look pretty much alike.
But let's see them swapped over a black crème, shall we?

| CG, Inglot, VlD, Orly, WnW |
The
two that stand out from the others are Inglot and Wet n Wild, that have
the strongest holo effect to them.It's funny that it's the most
expensive and the cheapest of the bunch that separates themselves from
the others.
The last pic shows the size and the density of the glitters. It's blurry to show the holo effect better.
As
you can see, number 2 and 5 have the strongest holo - that's Inglot and
Wet n Wild. Wet n Wild is also the polish with the biggest sized
glitters.
The three others are as close to being dupes as they get, IMO.
Conclusion: If I was only allowed to buy one holographic glitter, I'd go for the cheapest, namely Wet n Wild.
But hey - a girl can never have too many holographic glitters! :)
Which one would you prefer?
Wow I'm quite impressed by the WnW! I have the china glaze and I love it for a subtle effect but that WnW might have to be mine as I don't think I've got any other holo in clear.
ReplyDeleteI was also impressed with Wet n Wild - mostly because I actually bought that bottle to franken with, but now it goes back into the regular stash :) Great polish to a great price, even here :D
DeleteThank you for a great comparison - I think I'm with you on #2 and 5
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I think it was fun to do this, and I also got wiser on my glitter holos myself. :)
DeleteI love number 3 and 4 <3
ReplyDeleteMe too. And the rest of them too :D
DeleteJa kvalitet og pris hænger bare ikke altid sammen :)
ReplyDeleteKh
Og super godt indlæg btw :)
DeleteDet der er sjovt er, at jeg ikke ville have blive overrasket hvis de var pænere jo dyrere de var. Wet n Wild var en overraskelse.
DeleteOg tak. Jeg havde lyst til at lave lidt andet :)
Kh.
Nice comparison! I like #2 the most :)
ReplyDeleteInglot is a cool brand indeed. They're just a bit too pricey for my likings. :)
DeleteYou can never have too many holo's! I love the look of them all but I haven't had a chance to pick any up I think holo's will be next on my list :)
ReplyDeleteThese particular holo toppers are great to add that little extra to a mani. I love them all. :)
DeleteSo yes, you can't live without them :D
Great comparison! I own the Wet n Wild polish!
ReplyDeleteOh goodie, you got of the best ones then! :)
DeleteI think I'd go for the Wet n Wild one but I wouldn't say no to any of them :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally with you - I wouldn't either! :)
DeleteGreat post, I didn't even know WnW has holo glitter!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know either until recently where my supermarket decided to expand the W n W polishes a bit. Yay for that!
DeleteI love the Wet n Wild polish! It's gorgeous :D It's incredible how the cheapest one stands as much out as the most expensive one.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that it surprised me as well. Once the Inglot bottle is empty it probably won't be replaced (unless I happen to be on vacation in Poland), but the W n W will definitely be replaced when empty :)
DeleteI have the Wet N Wild one and I love it! =)
ReplyDeleteIt's also a great polish to spice up existing manis. :)
DeleteI got the Wet n Wild one not long ago.. and I'm a happy girl. I do LOVE my fairy Dust though... She's soo pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely comparison post here. :-)
The one I use the least is actually the Inglot one. There's no particular reason for that, other than it's in the bottom box. :D
DeleteI think I'm gonna have to pick up some of that Wet n Wild.
ReplyDeleteI think that sounds like a great idea.
DeleteGreat comparison! The Inglot is gorgeous but not something easy for me to get--fortunately I have the Wet 'n' Wild to distract me. :)
ReplyDeleteInglot is very expensive here. I believe the price is at least four or five times the Wet n Wild - so I'll go for the Wet n Wild in future too :)
