Lilypad Lacquer comparison
post
between Aquadisiac &
Nature Calling – both green linear holos
I looked into the box with Lilypad Lacquers, and my eyes fell on
Aquadisiac and Nature Calling. I thought that they looked pretty similar, and
decided to make a comparison in order to figure out if I should keep them both
or let one of them go.
Here’s what the two polishes look like:

They look pretty similar, don’t you think? I might as well reveal right
now that they’re not dupes. They’re not even that similar once they’re on the nails! I applied two coats on each
nail. I have Aquadisiac on my pinkie, my middle finger and my thumb, and Nature Calling on ring finger
and pointer. There’s no topcoat on yet!
Take a look:

See? Aquadisiac has got more blue in it, and Nature Calling has yellow
instead.
The holo effect seems a little bit more prominent in Aquadisiac too.
I think it’s amazing that they look so similar in the bottle, and then
turn out to be so different on the nails!
I like them both, and wouldn’t know which one to let go, if that had
been the conclusion!
I made a dot on the base of the nail with the opposite colour. Mostly to
see how opaque they are, but also because I like that there’s at least something on my polish, haha! I applied
a layer of topcoat before these pics were taken:
I wasn’t surprised to see that Nature Calling is the most opaque of the
two. It is the darkest of the two colours after all.
Here’s another bottle shot. This picture shows the difference better
than the first one in this post.

out to be. Which one do you like best? And would you keep them both?

As I like them both I'd keep them both! ;)
ReplyDeleteHa, I'm probably going to end up doing just that ;)
DeleteBeautiful both of them. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I do think so too :)
DeleteIt's surprising how green Nature Calling looks on the nail compared to in the bottle. I would probably keep them both but realistically would get more wear out of NC I think.
ReplyDeleteYes, sometimes the polishes really surprise when they come out of the bottle. I really thought these were more similar :)
DeleteThat's a great comparison, and I too would keep them both!!
ReplyDeleteThank you - I think I will do that then :)
DeleteThey are both beautiful, but I think they are different enough to justify keeping both. :)
ReplyDelete~ Yun
Then that's exactly what I'm going to do. Thank you :)
DeleteWow! I'm very impressed how much they look alike in the bottles, but looks so different on the nails! But they are very beautiful both of them and I agree with the others about keeping them both :)
ReplyDeleteI was impressed too, and very surprised! I thought they'd be hard to tell from each other, but no. I will keep them! Yay!
Deleteso, those two are pretty, but i like Nature calling because the base color is more vibrant and darker :)
ReplyDeleteI think that's my favourite of the two too :)
DeleteI'd go with the greener one on the left
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure which one I like the most anymore :D
