When the OPI Bond Girls collection came out I fell in love with many of its polishes, mainly Pussy Galore and Jinx. So when I found a Kiko polish that was Jinx's dupe, it became mine! (It was Kiko 640).
A dupe of Pussy Galore didn't seem to exist. Until Essence came out with this.
Now, let's be honest, it's not a perfect dupe: Pussy Galore is pinker, Hey Nude is more nude-ish (as you could guess). PG is pearly and has no big glitters, HN does.
However, it's exactly what I wanted: a pink/nude shiny sand effect polish. The glitters are quite big, but it's still an office-friendly shade imho. I love how they reflect the light!
I applied three coats for full coverage. If you want less coats, you might want to use a base, and I wonder how it looks on a pinker base, since it can be quite sheer.
Drying time, as most sand effect polishes, was pretty good.
Side note: if you have very long nails the white part of the nail might still be visible under this polish.
I'm still going to give it an A, well done again, Essence.
Dovrò correre ad accaparrarmeli, questi sand effect di essence :D
RispondiEliminaIo ho PG, ma, come hai detto, è rosa e senza glitter, ma con shimmer dorato. Invece, mi ricorda forse di più Solitaire, anche se quest'ultimo è bianco e senza glitterozzi ^^
Beh, la mia ricerca del dupe era chiaramente una scusa per comprarmi un altro smalto sabbiato xD Fai bene a provarli, io con questo mi ci sono trovata bene!
