I'll tell you about the comparison first! The other week I used ELF's Fairy Dust in my mani and it made me remember that I had heard it's a dupe for Essie's Shine of the Times and since I have both I wanted to see of it truly was. I had a really cute mani in mind to test them out, but the flakies did not want to show up well! It was so horrible that I didn't even keep the pictures. Then I thought flakies show up really good on black polish, so instead of painting my nails black, I just used a nail wheel.
I have looked at these swatches several times trying to figure out which one I like better and I'm still not really sure. Which every one you choose you can't go wrong, both are great flakie polishes!
Life Update
Y'all last week was such a crazy week for me, I felt like I had no time to blog at all. I've been on the hunt for a job :/ I had put in several applications over the past couple of weeks and was beginning to think I was not going to hear anything about any of them. Well Monday I drove the 200 mile round trip to visit my Mom and when I got home Monday night I had a message regarding one of the jobs I had applied to! Thursday I went for an interview then went back Friday to fill out some paper work. Supposed to find out Tuesday for sure if I got the job and when I start!!!! The whole process was a bit overwhelming for me, I have not filled out an application in seriously over 10 years and I've not worked outside the home since 2006! If I get it, I will most definitely be out of my comfort zone, it's a factory job and all I've ever done is retail, so fingers crossed I get it and I can keep up with everyone else :)
Tomorrow I think I will have Essie's Vices Versa from the 2014 neon collection!
Do any of you watch the show Revenge? OMG
That's about the same conclusion I came to. I like that Fairy Dust is a little less dense, though, as SOTT can be a bit overwhelming. Other than that, though? I identical.
ReplyDeleteOMG I hope you get it!! *HUGS* I'm kinda in the same boat myself. Putting in applications and no responses even though they say on the site "we'll contact you one way or the other". Sure. If I don't hear anything by June I'm just gonna try with the schools again. *grumbles*
*HUGS* Thanks Lizzy, hope you hear from one of yours soon. Round here there's really only 2 things to do, find a factory job or work at one of the prisons and I ain't cut out for the prison LOL I'll leave that to my hubby ;)
Deletedid they last about the same time? I think i have that ELF--going to try it out!
ReplyDeletelove the essie neons!
I feel like they lasted the same, didn't notice one wearing more than the other. I have 4 of the 6 and I'm kinda on the fence about them, the shades are amazing though ;)
DeleteI'm shocked at how similar these are! Good luck with your job, fingers crossed for you that you'll get positive news today. Starting a new job is always so scary but I'm sure you will knock it out of the park!
ReplyDeleteI was shocked too, thought they would at least be some what different.
