Purple Pizzazz and Daddy's Girl Comparison

I thought maybe I had a dupe for Purple Pizzazz. Apparently not. I had no acetone so no clean up this time and this photo is color corrected. Rain + no sun = bad pictures.

Both of these are at 3 coats.

Daddy's Girl, Purple Pizzazz, Daddy's Girl, Purple Pizzazz

Outdoors they look very different, but indoors they look very close. Purple Pizzazz takes 3 or 4 coats, has an annoying brush and average application. Not very sparkly. Daddy's Girl takes 2 or 3 coats, has a normal brush and better application. Lots of sparkles. It looks lighter but somehow darker to me. Weird.

The verdict: Daddy's Girl has better application and is cheaper. It also has no VNL and actually sparkles, wow! Now, I'm being kinda hard on Purple Pizzazz and although it looks flat and boring in these pictures, it's really not. It's purty too.

Something else I noticed is, but that's off-topic is that Orly has apparently asked the e-tailers to raise their price cause now they cost $3.75. If I'm correct they used to be $3.18 or $3.50. I hope China Glaze doesn't get all big headed over this OPI sh*t now too and raise their prices. These brands like Orly and China Glaze need to realize that without the e-tailers and the women who blog about them and give these sites most of their traffic, they wouldn't make near as much money as they do. (run on?) I never knew either of these brands until I started my addiction and I guarantee I never would have. Which is a shame cause CG is probably my favorite brand and Orly is really nice too. /end rant

Sally Hansen X-treme Wear Purple Pizzazz

I haven't been feeling very nail-y lately. Kinda uninspired. So here's something I just slapped on to keep my nails protected. This was sheer and needed 3 coats and would probably look even better with a fourth. I really hate these long and skinny brushes. It's hard to clean the polish off the stem and then a big drop comes while you're painting and ruins what you just did. Also when you stick the brush back in if you even scrape it against the rim the polish on the stem just spills over the sides. Anyway...

In the sun

Indoors under fluorescent. There's no VNL indoors like it looks here.

All in all it's a really pretty color. I have a dupe in mind and I'll be doing a comparison of those two here soon.

And just to make this post more positive here's a picture of a sleeping kitten.
