A Comp(ensation)

If you’ve already been browsing this post looking at the pictures and wondered what the hell happened to Feline’s camera and/or photo technique – don’t worry, Feline will be back with her fabulous pictures later on, this is the other (probably long forgotten) blogger writing. Since I had my second child in August last year I have hardly had time to do my nails and with their terrible state in mind and the constant challenge of caring for two children under two years, blogging has been out of the question. Recently the older child turned two and now I have all the time in the world – KIDDING, but there’s always time for a quick comparison right!?

I first got Faye and fell in love. Great formula, great base, great golden shimmer and great compliments – what’s not to love? But as all you collectors out there know, after you’ve worn a polish once (sadly, this can also be the case with untrieds) it quickly falls into oblivion and disappears among the myriads of polish… So I got It’s my Year. Once I had it, I remembered Faye and wrote them off as dupes without even looking at the bottles (I might have mistaken IMY with OPI Rally Pretty Pink). I must have forgotten about them both later on when I bought Ingenue AND Oui at the same time. When putting them all together I realized it was comparison time. On to the pictures...

So as you can see, Oui and IMY are pretty close but not dupes. They are both purples packed with golden shimmer but Oui is darker. Ingenue and Faye are mauves with purple and brown undertones and lots of golden shimmer. They are nearly dupes but Faye has more golden shimmer. As I understand it OPI Rally Pretty Pink is a dupe for Faye and IMO you only need one of these three.

Over and out
