Dupes? (OPI, WetNWild & Pure Ice)

Dupes? What do I think? 😊

I thought I found 2 dupes that looked like OPI 'Last Friday Night'. Here's the crazy thing, from the looks of it from the bottle, they look pretty similar. So, I took macros of the three bottles for an closer look. What do I think now??

Photos: (OPI 'Last Friday Night', WetNWild Mega Last 'Up In The Air' & Pure Ice 'Sparkling Seas')

OPI 'Last Friday Night' has much more bigger flakes of hex glitters but in a more pink-er & sparkly-er shade, while WetNWild 'Up In The Air' has smaller hex glitters while both bottles also contained a great amount of mixture size glitters. Pure Ice 'Sparkling Seas' has a blue-r crelly base as I had applied 2 coats but with the same amount of smaller + mixture of hex glitters just like WetNWild has. 
The three bottles are pretty obvious to the eyes as to when you look at the bottles until I used my macro lens to take a closer look of it to get a closer view of the polishes. For the sampling of each polish on my nails, they turned out pretty similar in comparison for OPI & WetNWild. Only difference is that for the WetNWild, I had to apply three coats to get the same opaque coat for OPI. Nonetheless, I think they're pretty close, I think!

Other than for the Pure Ice, I already knew that it would be very different in comparison to the first two. I thought it would be nice to just compare it bc of the similar glitters. I know that there is another polish that is also a dupe for 'Last Friday Night' but made by Sinful Colors Professional called 'Hottie' but I do not own that one. But I will have to agree with @pleasedtopleaseyou that that one is also a great dupe to compare with OPI!!

Let me know what you think of these!! I had fun playing with them. I must say.... I found another couple that are dupes for each other too! That one will come shortly after! Eek! I'm excited to share that one with you guys too!!! 😊😜

Thanks for reading guys!

▶Swatch/Review/Nail Art: ORLYFX 'Starburst'

Here is my swatch, review and nail art is 2 coats of @orlynails #ORLYFX in 'Starburst' with Seche Vite. Color Club Halo Hue 'Beyond' & OPI 'Love.Angel.Music.Baby.' from the 2014 Gwen Stefani Collection. I have macros and a few shots of the full manicure down below.

(Though this polish is from a recent but discontinued collection by Orly from the Galaxy FX for Spring 2014 Collection, I still would like to post more about my swatch on the blog on this baby by tomorrow bc I ♡ it so much that I wanna get some extra photos of this manicure in the sunlight to capture the beautiful multi-glitters!!) ←← I lied... well, technically, I didn't lie but I just had so many ideas running through my mind on what I could possibly put over this cute nail polish! So.

I couldn't wait any longer for the sun to rise.. I painted over the base polish!! ^0^.......*-* Here is my review on 'Starburst' anyway

I honestly have been lemming over this nail lacquer since it came out! I finally gotten it on clearance at Sally's Beauty Supply Store on Monday for $3.99! I couldn't pass up on this one

'Starburst' is a white crelly base polish with three different sized glitters in red, gold & silver. With just two coats, it applied nicely but it was hard to fish out the silver circle glitters. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't grab any bc they looked so cute! I thought it'd look better if all my nails had all the multiple glitters on them. Its just too bad bc this lacquer is adorable!

Enjoy & Have A Goodnight! ,
