Comparison: Glitter bomb polishes

Selena Gomez for Nicole by OPI "Confetti Fun" (retail $8.50)
Ulta "Pinata-Yada" (retail $6)
Sinful Colors "Pride" (retail $1.99)

Multi-color glitter toppers turn your fingers into a party!  I picked up "Pride" from my local Walgreens only to go home and realize that I had two other glitter toppers similar to it.  Of course, I did not return it.

A girl can't have too many glitter toppers, right?

After 1 coat, the immediate glitter payout is clear.  "Pride" had the most come out of 1 coat, no fishing but a little bit of disbursement.   "Pinata-Yada" had the least, but still a good amount for a modest glitter addition.  

"Confetti Fun" is the most different of the three shades.  Glitter payout is excellent in 1 coat, and the addition of micro-glitter gives this polish a boost in terms of coverage. 


After 2 coats, layered over Essie "Find Me an Oasis"

All three polishes give great glitter payout after 2 coats, even without fishing for glitter chunks.  In my opinion, "Pride" and "Pinata-Yada" can be considered dupes.  The colors of the chunky glitter are the same rainbow variety.  With some maneuvering, you can get the same amount of coverage and glitter disbursement with both polishes.

The Selena Gomez polish does have the addition of the micro-glitter for an extra sparkle.  A very lovely topper in itself, but not a dupe for the other two.
