For the month of June I plan to do blog posts every Saturday finding dupes for either expensive or limited edition products. Now when I test out products such as todays post I do half and half, I don't apply one nail polish on one hand and the other is the other polish what I do is alternate nails starting with Barry M then Sinful Colors then Barry M then Sinful Colors (I do it alphabetical).
Before applying the nail polishes I prepped my nails with my favourite base coat which is Ciaté Nail Super Hero.
The Sinful Colors was easier to apply but thin compared to the Barry M.
The Barry M has had it's final coat, it is now a solid colour.
I had to put a third coat onto the nails with Sinful Colors because it wasn't a solid colour, it was slightly patchy.
I always apply another favourite of mine, my Barry M Sunset Daylight Curing Topcoat which sets my nail polishes no matter what brand. What I did do was leave the nail polish colours on for about 15 minutes to see which one dries the quickest or sets better before applying the topcoat.
DAY #4: My nail polish started peeling on majority of the Sinful Colors nails whereas the Barry M nails slightly chipped which I started picking, I prefer when they peel off completely as one.
DAY #5: I removed the rest of the polish and noticed the condition of my nails on the Barry M fingers wasn't as good, the nails were slightly shredded.

These are definitely dupes of one another, bright pink like the nail polish Emoji but with a subtle hint of shimmer or glitter, they are spot on, both glossy but one last longer than the other only by a day. If you can get your hands on either polishes then I suggest you purchase them or one.
