Urban Outfitters Mystic









Mystic is a deep indigo blue that leans slightly blurple jelly with coppery pink flakies.





The flakies in the bottle in person look iridescent, however, on the nail and when photographed the iridescent color flash doesn't not really show. The flakies on most all accounts here will look coppery pink. The formula on this was a bit sheer, but buildable. The photograph makes it look more sheer than it does in real life. This is a great deep jelly shade with gorgeous flakies.





Let us now see how it compares to DL Ray of Light: (I'll be using UO to reference Urban Outfitters and DL to reference Deborah Lippmann below.)





Index & Ring Finger: UO Mystic

Middle & Pinky Finger: DL Ray of Light









Top: UO Mystic

Bottom: DL Ray of Light





These are not dupes, but they're close. Below I have listed the bullet points of differences and similarities.





Base color is different. UO is darker and leans more purple than the DL.

UO base is sheerer and slightly more jelly than DL

UO has more visible flakies than DL

They both have iridescent flakies that appear coppery pink on the nail

DL formula is better and easier to apply than the UO

If you want something similar to DL Ray of Light, but don't want to pay the DL price I think UO is a good alternative. These are not dupes though, but they are very similar If you have DL Ray of Light, and you're happy with that I wouldn't say you need UO Mystic unless it appeals to you too. I think if you have the DL already, you will prefer that formula to the UO.





Happy Monday!









I need to go to Urban Outfitters more often...well maybe I shouldn't. I've been going weekly lately, because some of my friends wanted some of their holos. Every week I've gone they have a new polish out that wasn't there the week before. What's even better than that is it's always some awesome polish or some polish that seems very familiar to something more expensive. I spotted this polish the other week, and it reminded me a lot of Deborah Lippmann Ray of Light. Is it a dupe?
