Comparisions!

Posted on Monday, March 7, 2011 | 10 Comments

So, the winner of my 300 giveaway is:   da da dum... Xiao Wei!!  I've contacted her and I am waiting for her reply.  Tabulating the results took FOREVER! argh!!!! I really have trouble with people not following the rules...but I guess this happens for all giveaways.

On a side note, http://lovebeangirl.blogspot.com/ was the winner of the $35 CSN giftcard giveaway that I had last month. She bought piggy paint polish for her daughter with the giftcard. You can check out her post here: http://lovebeangirl.blogspot.com/2011/02/look-what-i-won.html

Lately, blogger has been acting up. It just doesn't like me.  It takes forever to load and to post. Odd.
 

Monique asked me to do swatches for my loreal polishes so here they are:

1. I'm comparing Loreal High Tide with Avon Vintage Blue

 


Quick Rundown:

Collection: n/a
Description of color: Avon -creme, Loreal - creme with a hint of shimmer
Coverage/Coats: 2 normal coats for both
Resistance: n/a, I swatched them then took it off
Drying Time:  Normal drying time, not instant like a matte polish
Base coat used: Nubar Nu nails
Removal: Very easy to remove since they are cremes

From the pictures you can see that the 2 colors are very different.  Loreal is more of a grey blue while Avon is a pure creme pastel blue.
2. We have China glaze For Audrey versus Loreal Waters Edge




Quick Rundown:

Collection: n/a
Description of color: Both cremes
Coverage/Coats: 2 normal coats for Audrey, 2 normal coats + 1 thin coat for Loreal
Resistance: n/a, I swatched them then took it off
Drying Time:  Normal drying time, not instant like a matte polish
Base coat used: Nubar Nu nails
Removal: Very easy to remove since they are cremes

The only difference between the 2 colors was that Loreal was a bit more difficult to apply. I was getting bald spots with it =(  so I had too apply an extra thin coat to even everything out.  The 2 colors are very similiar except that Loreal is tad bit darker.

  2. Thank you posting the swatches + comparisons!! :D
    Loreal was the first brand of nail polish I purchased when I started my collection so I'm always a sucker for Loreal nail polishes

    I love how Loreal High Tide looks on you, I just may pick it up (:
    OOOooo I'm wearing For Audrey right now (: Loreal Waters Edge almost looks like a complete dupe for For Audrey, too bad for the bad application

    -again, thank you Li Lian you are too wonderful ^_^
