China Glaze Swanky Silk + Deborah Lippmann comparison

  Hi! I've been blog tardy for a bit due to a nasty wisdom tooth infection.  So nasty I got a huge box of polish and didn't even care to open it for 2 days. The horror. Let it go way too long and by the time I called my dentist they couldn't get me in for a few days. Ended up going to the ER with a swollen face, fever and rocket-y blood pressure from pain. There's no dentists at the ER (and no pliers they insisted.. not buying it) but there is pain medication and antibiotics. Got to relax and think about magical unicorns for a while. So, I have probably been too high to post this week. Sadly I really need to get these teeth out before classes start. SIGH. I am terrified.

 Anyway, in my stupor I was able to do my first ever comparison! Haha. I actually have a few comparisons to post. I will show you Swanky Silk first :

Swanky Silk is a champagne to pink flashing duochome, that fails to show up well on my camera no matter what I do. This is 3 coats.

shade.

 I just knew this was going to be a good dupe for DL Sugar Daddy. It's more than that though - a dead on dupe. Couldn't even note a difference in the formulas. Both need 3 coats, both have the same duochrome strength :

Swanky Silk on Pointer & Ring

Sugar Daddy on Middle & Pinkie

I really love this shade and happy to have a dupe. Particularly because my Sugar Daddy flew from my clutch and collided with my tile... just lost some glass but I can't bear to decant it from it's pretty bottle. I will use Swanky Silk up or bleed I guess.

sugar daddy has sads.
