It's Super Bowl Sunday here in the USA, and I'm stoked to watch the game. While I start pre-gaming, here's some blogs of note for you to nosh on.
Jellynat: Medium to Long nails - slightly sporadic posting (had a down computer and was missing her photo editing software) but still a good place for searching older posts.
Just Nice Things: Definitely long nail blog here - which I think is super cool! I wish I had long nails sometimes! You'll also find guest blogging reviews, some makeup, and some great blogger interviews here. I do believe this blog is updated daily, so be sure to put her in your RSS/GFC feed!
Keerthamina: This is another blogger who hasn't updated in a while but does have some great older posts to check out - reviews and some art. I really do like researching other colors on other blogs - especially some of the "core" colors from companies. ^_^
Enjoy!
While I'm Super Bowling it up (I'm a sucker for football and good commercials), my Urban Decay Pigments Giveaway will be ending. Make sure you sign up - there's currently 106 people signed up (not counting bonus entries), and I'm giving away 3 whole sets of pigments so go go go!
Link to the giveaway is here. Please do tell your friends!
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!

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!
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. :)
