Pink Polish Battle!!!

While I was going thru my untrieds I noticed I actually had a fair amount of pink polishes...LOL. 

I am not "In Love" with pink polish, my inner "polish whore" is ALL ABOUT blue polish, but I will admit, that I do have a some pink polishes.  My favorite pink polish is actually Orly "Basket Case", but I don't have any real favorites past that.

But I found these in my stash and they are all fairly close in color, so I figured ...Let's compare!
















Boots "Pink Grapefruit" (Foreign)
Wet N' Wild "Dreamy Poppy" (US)
H & M  "Check Me Out" (Foreign)















Left to Right: Boots, Wet N' Wild, and H & M.

Base Coat, 3 coats of polish, NO TOP COAT.















Now the Boots color I'm keeping strictly because it has the name "Pink Grapefruit" ( I love ALL things grapefruit...LOL). The Boots is a deeper pink, and the H&M is lighter, but the WnW is the perfect "in between" :)

Other than that fact they are all really close in color, and are all very pretty pink cremes., I'm keeping them all except the WnW.
















In fact, one of the reasons I like this comparison so much is because 2 of them are foreign brands (Boots and H&M) and therefore if you like them, then our American version (The Wet N' Wild) works perfectly as a substitute. :)

Application was great for the WnW and the H&M...the Boots color was a bit runny and that was the only reason I had to do 3 coats instead of just 2.  The H&M and the WnW were great in 2 coats. :)

H&M: Happy Grey

Earlier I put this color on my niece, but now its my turn.

I decided to do 2 coats of "Happy Grey" by H&M and hen topped it off with 1 coat of China Glaze "Fairy Dist"..I topped this off with 1 coat f Seche Vite and I was off! :)














I was inspired by the look Katy Perry wore for her Perfume press conference in November.

So simple and so pretty!



























next time I'll use 2 coats of fairy dust to give it that truly "fairy dust" look.  This was my first time using "Fairy Dust", I can't believe I've waited so long to use it :)

H&M "Blue My Mind" and it's kissing cousin

I recently received H&M "Blue My Mind in a swap and when I received it I loved it but, it looked familiar...then I grabbed its kissing cousin....Sally Hansen "Pacific Blue"

2 coats each
Yep, this is the both of them together, spooky.... huh?!

Here is "Pacific Blue" on the index and ring finger and "Blue My Mind" on the middle and pinkie.


B.M.M. is just a tad lighter, P.B. is a tad deeper...but definitely they are so close that there is no need to have both..agreed?

But since I have them both, I'm keeping both :) HA HA!

Both polishes are great formulas, opaque, creamy, easy to apply, although P.B. is far more...shall we say...pungent, it has an odd smell, definitely different than other nail polishes I've smelled.But the smell is well worth the color! :)

What's the smelliest polish you have?
