The big brush comparison

Hey everyone!

Всем привет!

So when I was discussing Cuccio's brush in my Dubai Me An Island review I thought it would be great to do a photo brush comparison, because some things are better to be seen than described. I'm not going to talk much in this post, because the pictures pretty much speak for themselves. 

Когда я писала обзор на Cuccio Dubai Me An Island и, в частности, касалась такого аспекта, как кисть, я подумала, что неплохо было бы сравнить ее с кистями лаков других фирм и задокументировать это все, поскольку некоторые вещи лучше увидеть, чем прочитать длинное и зачастую нудное описание. Так что долго я в этом посте говорить не буду, фотографии, по-моему, говорят сами за себя.

All in all the Cuccio brush is easy to control, it's more narrow than the OPI one, but wide enough to be able to cover a nail with one stroke (if your mail beds are narrower, too, i personally prefer the 3-stroke method), it's evenly cut and is flexible but not too soft. 

В целом, кисточку Cuccio легко контролировать. Она уже кисти OPI, но достаточно широка, чтобы перекрывать ногтевое ложе с одного мазка (если оно у вас достаточно узкое, разумеется, я лично все же предпочитаю покрывать ногти лаком 3 мазками). Кисть ровно острижена и достаточно эластична, но при этом не чересчур мягкая.

Karma Duty series. Comparison of teals: Nubar Stylish Peacock vs. Orly Sapphire Silk vs. OPI Ski Teal We Drop

Hi everyone!

I was supposed to post a black&white nail art, but I kind of messed that up so I'm going to redo it, and for now I have a comparison for you. Personally I love this kind of posts, so I hope you'll enjoy it, too.

So this was actually inspired by a lady from a Russian LiveJournal nail community, who requested a comparison between Nubar Stylish Peacock and OPI Ski Teal We Drop. It was actually so long ago even I don't remember. As my 18th birthday is approaching (it's tomorrow!), i'm cleaning up all my karma duties :)

The moment I pulled out the bottles out of my stash, I knew they were nowhere the same or even similar (well, to us, polish addicts, that is). So i decided to compare them to another teal I have in my collection, that is Orly Sapphire Silk.

By the way, I couldn't believe my eyes, but I only have 3 teal creams in my shash! The advantage is that that means I can order more without feeling ashamed of it :D

Onto the comparison, here's a bottle comparison pic.

More photos and some text under the cut :)
