Another (sort of) gradient fail

Well, I guess one successful gradient manicure does not make you a master of the technique! LOL. Here's another gradient fail, I used Prevail Concrete Jungle and OPI Yodel Me on my Cell. I grabbed YMOMC from Big Lots when I got the Prevails. I was surprised at how sheer it is, but that's also what made me think it would work for a gradient.

Actually, I think there's some potential here, like if I spent more time on it, maybe I could have fixed it?

But I'm not giving up! I really love the gradient look and I'm not going to stop trying it out 8-)

Coupla Prevail Comparisons

So the first two I'm comparing are Massini (Color Club) Fashion Addict with Prevail Concrete Jungle. Both are pale pink scattered holos and looking at the picks are pretty dead on dupes for each other. I know my middle finger looks a bit more pink than the others, but believe, me when wearing them, you can't tell the difference at all.



Next up we have Color Club Revvvolution and Prevail Glitz and Glamour. These two are pretty darn close to identical too. Prevail's color is a bit more black than the Color Club, but I only used two coats. I bet at three you wouldn't be able to tell any difference. Just like the two pinks, when wearing them, you really can't see a difference between the two.




So I'd say the two different sets are definitely dupes of each other, the Prevail's are a bit more pigmented, but you can really only see the difference in photos. When worn on the nail, they look identical.

Prevail: Concrete Jungle

This Prevail color was another one of my Big Lots finds, it's called Concrete Jungle. I believe this is a dupe to Color Club Fashion Addict, but like Glitz & Glamor, I still need to do a comparison to double check. The formula on this polish was really quite perfect, but the holo effect isn't that strong.

Prevail: Glitz & Glamour

Ok, here is an actual mani using Prevail's Glitz & Glamour. It's a nice black subtle holographic color. It has excellent coverage, very pigmented. You could get away with one coat, but I used two coats without topcoat. Just by looking at it here, I'd say this is a pretty close dupe to Color Club Revolution, but I'll do a comparison soon. I'm pretty smitten with this color at the moment - a girl can never have too many black holos in her stash ☺

Preview Swatch: Previal Glitz & Glamour

Running late, but I wanted to post one of the new colors I just picked up, it's from a brand called Prevail. Upon doing some Google research, Prevail is a NY brand polish put out by the drugstore chain Duane Reade. It looks like DR copies a lot of their colors from Color Club, so this must be the Revolution dupe. I will do a proper comparison later in the week.

I found a bunch of cool polishes at Big Lots yesterday and that's where this one came from. Here are some picks:
