Day #4 on the 12 Days of Polish Countdown - I might say this is one of my favorites, but I think it's safe to say that I will say that for the next few days as well! All 3 of todays polishes are ones that I haven't had very long, and NONE of them have been on the blog before!
Been awhile since I did a Dupe Comparison - lets check this out!
Todays Contenders are Julep Petra versus Pure Ice Iced Merlot
Looking pretty similar in the bottle, no?
These two polishes are a red raspberry crelly base with pink and blue shimmer, that primarily flash pink on the nail.
I turned my fingers so many different directions and found NO differences in these whatsoever.
Furthermore, formulas were exactly the same, though the Julep was slightly slower to dry - giving the HUGE advantage to Pure Ice for being twice the size and 1.99 vs Julep $14 price tag.
Each show two coats and one coat of top coat. The index finger is slightly darker because it has a third coat due to it drying so slow i bumped it!
