Happy Tuesday! It is Day Two of Dare to Compare Week here at Adventures in Polishland. To celebrate the start of spring, I am comparing three bright pink nail polishes today. I just love pink, and I feel like pink nails never go out of style! I hope you enjoy this comparison as much as I do! Let me show you what’s up today.
These bright pinks look quite similar in the bottle! From left to right, they are: Julep in Niecy, Chick in Flicker, and Wet ‘n Wild Wild Shine in Pom Pom Kelly. First I’ll show you each polish alone, and then I’ll compare them side by side.
Polish Name: Wet ‘n Wild Wild Shine in Pom Pom Kelly
Price: $0.99 [Good luck finding it!]
Coats Needed for Opacity: 3
Formula: Great application! Jelly formula with sheer coverage and a satin finish.
Color Description: Bright pink that leans towards neon, but isn’t too “out there”.
Bonus: This is from the limited edition Saved by the Nail collection! I was able to score myself a set, but they were very hard to find. I did hear that they were spotted at Ocean State Job Lot stores recently!
Polish Name: Chick in Flicker
Price: $8.00 [Buy HERE]
Coats Needed for Opacity: 2
Formula: Good — there was something “off” but I can’t explain it! Beautiful high gloss finish.
Color Description: Bright pink creme
Bonus: Chick is made in the USA and vegan friendly!
Polish Name: Julep in Niecy
Price: $14 [Buy HERE]
Coats Needed for Opacity: 2
Formula: Great formula and application! Glossy finish!
Color Description: Bright pink that is almost neon.
Bonus: This came in my first ever Julep Maven box! It’s one of my all-time favorites!
Now let’s take a closer look at these polishes side by side! From left to right is the Wet ‘n Wild, the Chick, and the Julep. While they are not dupes for each other, they are quite similar. Pom Pom Kelly from Wet ‘n Wild is definitely the brightest and most neon of the bunch, with Chick Flicker the darkest. It’s unfortunate that the most affordable polish in this bunch is also the hardest to find, because Pom Pom Kelly is my personal favorite of the three even though I need three coats for opacity. However, I would happily settle for the $8 price tag of Chick’s Flicker since it is vegan and made in the USA. All in all, you can’t really go wrong with any bright pink, especially in the warmer months!
Which bright pink nail polish is your favorite?! Would you pay more for a nail polish if it were vegan?!
My favorite bright pink is OPI’s Charged Up Cherry.
Nice! I’ll have to check that one out!
