Jesse's Girl Flirt vs China Glaze Trophy Wife
2.05.2011
Still looking for a dupe here - here is Jesse's Girl Flirt and China Glaze Trophy Wife and yet in the bottle, they sure don't look very similar. I figured Flirt would be much darker than Trophy Wife. For both polishes I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of Seche Vite.
Are you ready?
Can you tell the difference in the sun on which picture is which? Yeah, me either. In fact, I forgot which color was on what nail. Go me. These are definitely dead on dupes.
Edit! I checked my notes, I have Jesse's Girl Flirt on my index and ring fingers and China Glaze Trophy Wife on my middle and pinkie fingers
Same story in the shade. So if you missed Trophy Wife or you're just looking for a frosty foil pink, look no further - these two are cut from the same cloth!

China Glaze Trophy Wife
When I was originally taking my bottle pictures of China Glaze Trophy Wife from the Specialty/Glitters & Cremes Collection, I had one that was further away, but this picture just cracked me up. It reminded me of The Daily Nail's post on her adventures with Zoya Nail Polish Gemma. Please do check it out.
I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Trophy Wife and a top of Seche Vite. Trophy Wife is a pink foil that applied very smoothly - very nice formula.
In the sun you can see that this is a nice foil/frost pink. Hey, didn't I say that before? ;]
Same story in the shade - it almost looks like this polish is a sponged gradation from dark to light but nope, it's just the polish.
You can still find this color on Head2ToeBeauty and possibly on eBay or you can stay tuned for my upcoming comparison post!

Jesse's Girl Flirt vs China Glaze Good Witch?
In my quest to find dupes among my own collection, I thought that Jesse's Girl Flirt looked familiar, so I started digging. First, I pulled out my China Glaze Good Witch? from the Wizard of Ooh Ahz re-release last year. (It was one of my first reviews when I started blogging - be kind with my bad pictures!)
For both polishes I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of polish and a top of Seche Vite. For some reason, Good Witch? was a lot easier to work with this time around.
These two do look similar in the sun but there is a bit of a difference. Flirt is a straight up foil/frost where as Good Witch has this tiny pink glitter in it that gives it a slightly gritty look.
In the shade, you can see that Flirt is more plummy pink where Good Witch is more baby pink. Dupes - no. Cousins - sure. However, don't leave me yet - I have yet another good comparison coming up. :)

Jesse's Girl Flirt
Winding down in the Jesse's Girl collection - have you purchased any yet? For only $3 a bottle, they really are some great finds. Originally when I saw Flirt, I was thinking "frosty pink? Pass." Bad move, Krystal. This isn't just a frosty foil pink, it's an amazing explosion of happiness on the nails. (Boom.)
I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Flirt and topped it with Seche Vite. The formula was very smooth on this color, much like the entire collection has been.
Eeeii pretty! In the sun you can see how the foil-like polish just glows with soft shades of pink and almost a golden hue. This is one of my favorite colors, next to purple. It's not so in your face like a neon pink, but it's not as boring as a pink creme. Great for Singles Awareness Day, I mean "Valentine's Day" coming up in a little over a week now.
I especially love this color in the shade - again sparkle without being too insane. I know frosts get a bad rap from some but I like them for the most part (I think). :)
