After seeing photos of Chanel Jade and being a little too indecisive to pay outrageous prices for the VHTF polish since I'm pretty sure it won't be the *best* color for my skin tone, I decided to get Milani Dress Maker to see how I liked it first.
Sometimes my brain actually WORKS! It turned out to be a good idea. I like it almost enough to go ahead and get Chanel Jade, but not quite. As predicted, it's not the best with my coloring. It's not so bad that I'll never wear it at all though. It really is a pretty color! And from the comparison photos I've seen, it does look like a flat-out dupe. So I made a deal with myself. If I actually go through this entire bottle of Dress Maker, I'll shell out for the Chanel Jade. But I see no reason, since it's not readily available or even close to a reasonable price, for me to have it just to have it.
In many ways I am so NOT frugal. In other ways, I'm extremely frugal. And of course as always with me, there's no decipherable rhyme or reason to either.
Okay, down to it! This is a drug store polish that goes for about $4.49. If you can't find it in stock locally, the Milani website has them for the same price plus very reasonable shipping.
The application isn't like a Dior one coater, of course (whaddya want for $4.49?) but it's not bad. It takes two thin coats for opacity and a third thin coat to even it all out. I was pretty careful and had no clean up. As you all should know by now, the no clean up part makes everything okay!
Photos shown are with a base coat, 3 THIN coats of polish and a top coat.

What a gorgeous shade! I myself would be satisfied with this, too. It's so much like Jade I think it could kill that lemming. :) I do love mint polishes!
ReplyDeleteMy guy actually told me this morning "that's the best green you've worn so far." LOL! But yeah, Jade goes for around $200 (and up) WHEN you can find it. I think this'll do. =)
