Dupe or no dupe: L'oreal 406 - Burgundy Diva vs. Models Own - Magenta Pearl

Welcome to this segment, for dupe or no dupe.

Nah.
As you know, I bought a huge bunch for polishes while in the UK, and when I got back home, I found out that 4 polishes looked like some of the ones I had before.

They where:
1. L'oreal 404 - Scarlet Vamp vs. Models Own - Red Red Wine
2. L'oreal 406 - Burgundy Diva vs. Models Own - Magenta Pearl
3. H&M Coral vs. Miss Sporty 452
4. 17 - Midnight Sapphire vs. Misa - A Sin Worth Commiting


So lets take a look at nr. 2. Burgundy Diva, and Magenta Pearl.




On this picture, you can actually tell that they are not a dupe, but in sunlight, they did look the same. 


Wearing, from R to L:
L'oreal Burgundy Diva, Models Own Magenta Pearl, L'oreal Burgundy Diva,  Models Own Magenta Pearl

L'oreal Burgundy Diva is a one coat color, with a C-brush. Easy to apply.
Models Own Magenta Pearl is a thin polish, great for layering. I used three coats on the picture, and it darkens ever so slightly for each coat.

Since it wasn't a dupe I though it would be a nice thing to do some nail art over it, to make it up.


I used Barry M - 302 - Fushia.

MSMD - Gradient sponging over nail striping tape mani II

As you might remember I did a Gradient sponging over nail striping tape mani on last monday for the MSMD (Monkey see Monkey do). I loved it so much and wanted to try it out with another set of colors.


Huge thanks to Lacquer or Leave Her for introducing this mani, on her MSMD, a few weeks ago.
If it wasn't for you, I would never have stumbled over this design.
(I wanted to post this mani as soon as she got up, but I haven't seen her yet, so I am just going to do it now. I don't like scheduling posts..)

I finished this mani just around midnight, so I didnt get a chance to take a picture right away, so there will be some wear on it.
