Smackdown: Concrete Jungle - Rescue Beauty Lounge vs Diamond Cosmetics

Labels: , , ,
I like a good grey but I can't tell any difference between RBL Concrete Jungle and Diamond Cosmetics Concrete Jungle. None. Both were two coats. Both are a lovely pale shade of blue based grey. Both are a creme. Both have the same name. Well, there is one difference. One is $18 and the other is under $3. I did get some bubbles with RBL and I have no idea why.

I really, really cannot tell them apart. Honest. You may think one is darker but that is shadowing because in real life not one difference in color.

I have to declare Diamond Cosmetics the winner. The formula is just as nice, I didn't get any bubbles and it's way, way cheaper.

Hm. Not sure what to say about this one. The idea of it is really good but the reality of it is not so good. It's a light apple green with holo glitter. Unfortunately, the glitter doesn't sparkle much and it just looks like little diseased bumps on the nail. I could have used another layer of top coat even though I already put two on. So odd that a color like this would need so much top coat. I do, however, love the base color. I didn't think I would since it's so light. So if anyone has any suggestions for a polish just like this but as a creme - please let me know.











I added China Glaze Fairy Dust and this is what I think it should have looked like but it doesn't.

Milani Rockstar Heavy Glitter Collection

Labels: ,
Finally found a display at CVS for the Milani Rockstar Heavy Glitter Collection. Of course Gems was missing but I needed toothpaste and I found two bottles hidden away behind the mouthwash. So if you are the person that decided to hide them instead of buy them - they are now mine. Mwahaha!

So sparkly! So pretty! They are a fine but dense glitter and aren't flat at all. Blue Sparkle and Red Sparkle remind me of Color Club Sexy Siren and Art of Seduction but I haven't compared them yet. My picks are Purple Gleam, Silver Dazzle and Gold Glitz. Silver Dazzle is a graphite glitter and is just amazing and I don't have anything like it. Gold Glitz is a great combo of orange/gold and lighter than Finger Paints Holly Good Times. Purple Gleam is a different purple compared to the purple glitters from the Nubar Sparkles collection and is darker than Color Club Tru Passion and more complex. If you love glitters this is a collection for you.

I have to say good job Milani!! The last few collection have been great. Keep them coming. Though where is the green glitter?!

Ah, this has been untired until now. Opps! I stamped some stars from Bundle Monster plate BM21 using China Glaze Cherish (green metallic) and it's really subtle. A bit too subtle. I should have gone with silver.

Superstar!

Gah. I love this polish and I think it may have moved into my top 20. So glitzy and blingy. Great color to ring in a new year. I decided to go with a slightly shattered look by using Konad stamp M70.

Hello 2011. Don't be a bitch like 2010.
