Hi friends!

Posting this for the database as someone eloquently put it earlier this week or last week.

These are my hand swatches but I can show my swatch book comparison in the comments when I get home because I chose these based on how dupe they look per swatch stick.

Ive been trying to find good dupes for Holo Taco Spirit Fingers bc I cant keep spending LE money for 12ml. My fire was lit when people told me Cracked's new Razzle Dazzled is a good dupe (spoiler: it is not. They are acquaintances at best, not doppelgangers).

But surprisingly the mooncat smokescreen is the most matching to dupe the HT ive ever seen/within my collection. Base color is slightly off but barely notable. Close 2nd was the EDM such a farse but it is so shifty it loses some similarity.

Right hand-

Thumb - mooncat smokescreen (magnetic)

Index- edm such a farse

Middle- holo taco spirit fingers

Ring - cracked Razzle dazzled

Pinky - edm cloud my vision

Honorary mention left hand (since I love my mani)

Thumb and ring- all mixed up lacquers misery business

Index - edm 4 hours

Middle - cracked Dijon disco

Pinky- clionadh devils bridge (magnetic)

Ill leave it for the thinktank to decide. Do you think Smokescreen or Such a Farse is a good dupe to no buy for HT spirit fingers? Does anyone else have other HT spirit fingers dupes for me to try? If I have the polishes in my collection I will do the comparison. For science. For the database. :)))

ETA: 1x homemade peely base, (i forgot ridge filler and it shows), 3x polish coats, 1x cracked qdtc (it was the closest one to me)

Hi my friends!

I am DISO for these two polishes before I put myself on a very very low buy and take myself off of some of these subs

Polishes of Interest:

- Polished for Days Persimmon (pic 1)

- Polished for Days Simba! (pic 2)

Currently in my orange era 🧡✨️. I was stalking PFD to see if theyd rerelease these but now i know it is likely not happening. I know its a long shot since these were released in 2021 but im obsessed and at a point where ive been frankening to DIY dupe these polishes myself but now im finding I still NEED my own bottles to compare/perfect my frankens. My issue is ive now created 12 prototypes to franken one of these and none of them are scratching the itch for these polishes I now NEED (at a reasonable price please 🥲). For science and internal research and development purposes only :))))).

Im even willing to take decants. I prefer the actual bottle of course so if you are willing please lmk.

Thank you for reading. May our manis be forever in our favor.

tldr: does anyone have these polishes they are willing to destash to me? Id love you forever, discount on future destash?, trade? I have a spreadsheet, im desperate but not rich, lets talk.

Hi friends,

Hope we've been getting good mani magic lifting our lives lately.

Finally got around to swatching these last night and I choked on how closely I duped myself this go. They look almost the EXACT SAME SHADE? Are my eyes deceiving me?? Im seeing the barest hint of "is it more green or more teal? which one? yes?" when I try to spot a difference. Can someone please tell me if im crazy and these are different and both deserve to stay??

Oh the dangers of preorder windows. I always forget the ones im waiting on since they havent made it into my swatch book yet. Ill get around to finger swatching but for now, does anyone have pics comparison as well???

Im putting myself on time out for shame.
