Gold Foil Comparison

Orly Glitz & Glamour has been my ultimate gold foil. A friend of mine wore it to school once, and I wanted it BAD. I ended up missing the boat and actually got OPI Rising Star instead. So not what I wanted. Still a good polish, but not what I wanted. Recently I purchased Sparitual Solstice. It is an exact dead on dupe for Glitz & Glamour which is not entirely surprising since they have the same parent company.

Sparitual on the pointer and Orly on the ring.

Rising star is obviously a bit more copper leaning. Without these to compare it does look quite gold.

The formula on the OPI is pretty bang on. The other 2 require more coats. The formula seems to be a clear base which is jaaaam packed full of golden bits. 1 coat is not enough to cover.

Both Orly and Sparitual have a rubber cap. The Orly brush stem and brush bristles are a bit longer. I prefer the Orly brush. The Orly bottle also holds more product which is always a boon.

OPI - Rising Star & China Glaze - Cleopatra

First up is OPI Rising Star from the Burlesque collection. It's a pretty gold foil, but imo it isn't as nice as Orly Glitz & Glamour which I do not own why?? Grr..

Here it is with 2 coats of China Glaze Cleopatra (love!)

Cleopatra is an awesome glitter, mostly gold but with scattered holo glitter as well.

I love me some glitter :oD I think I am going to start doing my posts before bed now. So that I can have time to.. exercise.. before work :S Maybe ;o)
