Silver Holo Comparison - Color Club vs. NFU OH

Take a look at this photo, can you see any differences??? No? Didn't think so.

Well how about this photo? A little bit of difference? Hmm...

Well what about THESE photos?! Huge difference guys. As the title suggests, today's post is a silver holographic polish comparison between NFU OH #61 and Color Club Harp On It. For all of you that are as involved in the nail polish world as I am, you probably already know which polish is which without me even having to tell you! On my index and ring finger is 2 coats of #61, and on my middle finger and pinky is 2 coats of Harp On It. Even though years ago people debated that #61 was the best silver holo around, I would beg to differ! Unless I got a bad batch ( I got my bottle 1-2 years ago, not when they first came out), than there's not much going on with #61. But to be fair I did take an outside photo because as we all know, you never know the true effect of a holo until you are in the sun.

In the sun, the holo in #61 is a bit more apparent, but is nothing in comparison to Harp On It!

 In the shade, #61 looks like a very opaque matted silver polish, whereas Harp On It looks like a shiny silver with gold shimmer. The holo in #61 is more of a subtle look which is great for certain occasions, but Harp On It has enough holo to make you want to smack your momma (hehehe)! The application on #61 was a bit streaky, but the application of Harp On It was flawless. These polishes are clearly not dupes, and I do think they are both great additions to any collection because they are extremely different. As I acquire more silver holographics, I will make an updated posts so you can find the perfect holo to fit your taste and personality.

Orly's Mysterious Curse vs. Royal Velvet

Take a good look at these bottles. Can you see any differences? I surely can't. If I wasn't addicted to polish I would bet on my life that these are the same polishes. But look:

 Two different names!
The first being "Mysterious Curse" from Orly's limited edition Dark Shadows collection, and the second being "Royal Velvet" which I know can be found year round at stores such as Sally's Beauty Supply.

We have established that they look same in the bottle, but as we all know looks can be deceiving when it comes to polishes. There is only one way to compare any dupes.... swatches!!! Each nail has 3 coats for full coverage.

It's official; Houston, we have a dupe! They both have the same duo chrome effect and blue shimmer. They both apply beautifully and have the same coverage. The only thing that isn't the EXACT same; the name.

Missed out on Mysterious Curse? Have no fear, Royal Velvet is here!

Peace & Love,
