Comparison posts are one of my favourite types of posts to read.
I love knowing what dupes/near dupes are out there.
While swatching Claire's "Tigerlily" I thought that it looked nearly
identical to a polish I had worn a couple months prior: Essie's
"Nice Is Nice" (which I did a blog post on here).
Let's take a look and see what the pictures say.
Claire's "Tigerlily" - 3 coats
Tigerlily is a very pretty soft lilac creme.
I did 3 thin coats for a nice opaque finish and topped it
with Beauty Secrets Hardener High Gloss Top Coat.
Index and Ring: Tigerlily (Claire's)
Middle and Pinky: Nice Is Nice (Essie)

Nice Is Nice also had 3 thin coats but was a little pesky,
application wise. I found the formula to be a bit thinner
and slightly harder to build than the Claire's.
The two polishes are almost exactly the same. Tigerlily may have
a touch more grey in the formula but overall, they are dupes in my book.
Enjoy your Tuesday! I have another comparison post coming up on Thursday!
- A Polished Touch
Great comparison!! They're really close and very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think so too.
DeleteI have claire's Tigerlily, isn't it gorgeous? It's one of my favorites!! It never dries though:(
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Tigerlily is very pretty. I didn't have any drying issues with mine, though. Perhaps I got a good bottle?
DeleteSometimes this happens to me as well, unless I use Seche Vite's Fast Drying Top Coat. I swear they're dry within 10 minutes. Uh - may - zing!
DeleteGreat comparison! I really couldn't tell a difference between the two. They're so alike.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I thought the same thing. You really can't tell between the two.
DeleteThank you. :)
ReplyDeleteI looooove Claire's polishes. I stumbled upon a few of their Franken's and they're pretty darn amazin'.
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty great. :)
DeleteAwesome comparison! I love the color :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Traci! I love it too. Lilac love. <3
DeleteGorgeous! Both colours! I think I'll need to make a trip to Claire's :)

Great comparison! I didn't like NiN's formula, but I love the color. I'll have to check out Tigerlily.
ReplyDeleteI like comparison posts too. ALways nice to know what other people think of different products. Tiger Lilly would have been my pick, because I like anything with a little gray tone.
