PrettyPots ~ Sugar Plum
Faerie vs. Peita’s Polish ~ Little Princess
A comparison
Today I’ve got another comparison for you. I’m going to compare two pink
glitters that look pretty much the same in the bottles.
Here are the two polishes I’m going to compare: PrettyPots Sugar Plum
Faerie on the left and Peita’s Polish Little Princess on the right.
On the first glance they look the same but a closer look reveals that
the glitters in PrettyPots are just a fraction bigger than the glitters in
Peita’s Polish.
Here they are on my nails. It’s two coats of each polish and a layer of
Essence Studio Nails’ Top Sealer.

The formula is different. Sugar Plum
faerie feels like a glitter to apply and Little Princess feels like a
suspension base with glitter….it’s smoother, if that makes sense.

Sugar Plum Faerie has a touch of blue that Little Princess doesn’t have.
It’s visible if you look really closely, but you have to look for it.

Last but not least they’re also a slight colour difference. Sugar Plum
Faerie is a fraction darker than Little Princess. But I am sure nobody would
have noticed if I had worn the two different polishes that day.
Verdict:
Sugar Plum Faerie and Little Princess are not dupes. The glitter is not the exact same size and the colour isn’t exactly the same either. They’re equally easy to apply and both cover in two coats. Drying time is good.

To me they’re not different enough to own both, but I’m not sure of
which one I’ll move on to a better home yet.
Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Pretty good
Drying time: Pretty good
Finish: Microglitter
Removal: I’d recommend the
foil method
Overall impression: Pretty and girly glitters, great for a base for something else!

Buy again: No
That's an interesting post - on the first photo they really look the same, but then further down I see what you mean, close but not dupes :) I think I prefer the Sugar Plum Faerie...
ReplyDeleteIt was totally by accident that I saw that I bought two so alike polishes - and I thought a comparison would be cool. I am still indecisive of which one to keep :)
DeleteI prefer Sugar Plum Faerie, it seems more sparkling, but the second one is nice too. They look similar indeed.
ReplyDeleteNobody would have noticed if I had worn them like this, that's how close they are. :)
DeleteI will go with Little Princess as I prefer smaller glitters (though in this I couldnt make out the difference).
ReplyDeleteHaha, no, I had trouble too - I had to write down which one I had on which nails :D
DeleteSugar Plum Faerie is a touch more interesting ;)
ReplyDeleteBecause the glitters are a tad bigger or what rocks your boat? :D
DeleteOne is a bit darker than the other I think i would get the one that has small glitters :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad that there is a least a little bit difference :)
DeleteThey do look very similar! Not much in it! :-)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more :)
DeleteGood dupe! Both cute as a button <3
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to hear you like them :)
DeleteI think I prefer sugar plum fairy, the glitter is slightly bigger, but for me it would probably come down to which one is easier to remove!
ReplyDeleteI didn't wear them long enough to actually find out if there were a hassle to remove, but that's a very good point :)
DeleteI haven't heard of either of these brands but by the looks it seems I need one of them... =))
ReplyDeleteI wonder which one you'd chose :)
DeleteThey do look like dupes even if I see that they aren't :D
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how I feel too! :D
