So it's Tuesday and I said I would try to do it every week. So far it works. Let's see for how long ;-)Today I have some yellows for you. I really love yellow and I haven't found my most perfect yellow polish just yet, but there are some close enough. Today's shade is the light banana ice cream yellow and I have 3 different but same polishes:and In the wheel shots I usedas some sort of reference point.As you can see, the two in the middle - Illamasqua and Nails Inc are pretty much dupes, while Models Own is a tiny bit lighter. Let's see how they look on the nails.andare practically dupes. I can say their formula is very much the same, they both need 2 or better yet 3 coats for full opacity and they are both a little on the thick side. The funny thing is they are both UK brands and more or less cost the same. So if you have one - you definitely don't need the other.is from the Ice Cream Sundae box set and is one degree lighter then the others. It also has a slight milkier shade. As for the formula - I think Lemon Meringue wins this game. It is a lot more opaque and if applied carefully, you can get away with one coat. I did two because I used very thin coats. The polish's consistency is also a little bit on the thick side but being so opaque to begin with, it was much easier to apply.As for drying time they are all pretty much the same. As you can see - I managed to smear my pinky, which tells you it doesn't dry too fast. All three have pretty much the same glossy finish. None of the pictures show any top coat. The gloss is from the polish only.If you compare these in the price field, Models Own Lemon Meringue wins once again as it is slight cheaper then the other two. So all in all if you want to have one but have your doubts - go for Models Own Lemon Meringue. It will give you the best value for your money. You can find it either inor at retailers likeor Harlow & Co , all of them ship internationally.If you insist after all,also ships internationally.however - does not.
