Nails Inc. Tavistock Street and a Grey Comparison with Dior

Today I felt like wearing grey. Naturally, I reached for Dior Gris Montaigne. My favorite medium grey.

And then I remembered that I'd gotten a grey Nails Inc. They looked very similar in the bottles so I decided a comparison post was in order.

I pulled those two and three more and this is what I found out!

As you can see, China Glaze Concrete Catwalk is much darker, but the others are similar.

Here's how they stacked up:

Pure Ice Kiss Me Here - decent formula, no streaking, 2 to 3 coats for opacity

Kiko 327 Granite Grey - great formula, no streaking, 1 coat for opacity

Dior Gris Montaigne - good formula, a bit of streaking, 2 coats for opacity

Nails Inc. Tavistock Street  - great formula, perfect application, 1 coat for opacity

Dior Gris Montaigne is great, but it didn't really self-level. Any of these polishes really are acceptable, but the easiest, smoothest polish was Nails Inc. Tavistock Street so that's what I chose to use for my full manicure.

What do you think?
