I was rearranging my untried drawers (okay, to accomodate a sh*tload of new polish I hauled over the weekend) and noticed that I have three untried black polishes with silver glitter. I am pretty sure I don't need three, so I decided to compare them. I'm going to guess these are all about as equally easy to find (unless Wicked is d/c'd). I got the Savina at Nordstrom Rack, and I ordered the Jordana from Cherry Culture.
In the bottle they look pretty similar. The Jordana has a lot more silver glitter stuck to its sides, but it's patchy. A good shaking up fixes this.
Here they are at one coat each. These are in the same order as the bottle photo: Black Mist on my index finger, Night Fall on my middle finger, and Wicked on my ring finger. From here we can see that Black Mist has more glitter and a sheerer base. Wicked is the most pigmented.
Two coats. Black Mist is still super blingy, and its base is starting to fix itself. I have a big bald streak in Night Fall, but that's my fault. Night Fall and Wicked are looking pretty dupe-y.
Three coats. We can safely conclude that Night Fall and Wicked are dupes. Black Mist is fairly different from the others.
I added a fourth coat of Black Mist, just to compare it with Night Fall and Wicked. Still not dupes, but Black Mist is gorgeous on its own.
I went into this thinking I would find that these three are all dupes, and I would only keep one. Instead, I am keeping Black Mist and Night Fall, and Wicked goes into the purge pile. I liked Night Fall's application a little better than Wicked's, but this was almost a toss-up.
