PrettyPots ~ Sugar Plum Faerie vs. Peita’s Polish ~ Little Princess



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
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

  1. 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...

    1. It 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 :)

  2. I prefer Sugar Plum Faerie, it seems more sparkling, but the second one is nice too. They look similar indeed.

    1. Nobody would have noticed if I had worn them like this, that's how close they are. :)

  3. I will go with Little Princess as I prefer smaller glitters (though in this I couldnt make out the difference).

  7. I 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!

    1. I didn't wear them long enough to actually find out if there were a hassle to remove, but that's a very good point :)
