I saw these two nail polishes on my dresser and thought I would see whether or not they are matching, a dupe.
PACKAGING (Nails Inc):
Squared/rectangle glass bottle with plastic lid.
PACKAGING (OPI):
OPI signature glass bottle with a plastic lid.
INGREDIENTS (Nails Inc):
Ethyl Acetate, Butyl Acetate, Nitrocellulose, Polyester-23, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Isopropyl Alcohol, CI 77891 (TITANIUM DIOXIDE), Stearalkonium Bentonite, Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol/Trimellitic Anhydride Copolymer, Diacetone Alcohol, Dipropylene Glycol Dibenzoate, Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate, Acrylates Copolymer, Silica, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Phosphoric Acid, CI 15850 (RED 6), CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES), Barium Sulfate, CI 15850 (RED 7 LAKE), CI 19140 (YELLOW 5 LAKE)
INGREDIENTS (OPI):
Can't find them.
I prepped my nails, buff, file and apply my Essie base coat.
Layer #1 (Nails Inc): definitely streaky.
Layer #1 (OPI): streaky but not as much as the Nails Inc.
Layer #2 (Nails Inc): a lot better with another coat.
Layer #2 (OPI): even better with another coat of polish.
Top coat applied, this is the top coat we are using quite a lot at the moment.
They look exactly the same, I can't believe how identical they are.
Removal (Day #3): Easily removed using my regular nail polish remover.
