Comparison Request and a Chanel Malice Dupe Alert?

*This product is Cruelty Free 

♥

Nope. This is not a Chanel Malice dupe. Chanel Malice IS, however, a dupe of THIS gorgeous polish! Deborah Lippmann's B!tches Brew has been out for a few years while Malice came out either this year or the end of last year.




You guys know I don't use the word dupe lightly, but this one is thisclose! Check it out.

So what do you think? Bottom line, if I HAD to pick out the difference, I'd have to be wearing them side-by-side just like this and I'd have to have just the right lighting. I wore them both on the same hand yesterday and asked at least 10 of my real life acquaintances if they thought I was wearing two different polishes and not one of them could tell, much less pick out which nails were different.

So who wins the smackdown? Deborah Lippmann Bitches Brew and here's why:

* Deborah Lippmann Bitches Brew came out first.
* Deborah Lippmann Bitches Brew is cruelty-free while Chanel is questionable since they sell in China
* Deborah Lippmann Bitches Brew retails for $18, Chanel for $27
* Both formulas are comparable
* Both dry shiny
* Both are fully opaque in 2 coats
* Chanel Malice chipped first
* Bitches Brew is still widely available while Malice is sold out almost everywhere and is going for ridiculous prices on eBay

    Excellent dupe review! I already have malice and was already searching for a UK source of the Lippmann I had such a lemming from your last post, so you just saved me a bunch of cash! :-)

    Are you sure that Deborah Lippmann is cruelty free? I cant seem to find them on PETAS list...

      They claim to be (on the first page of their website) and they've been on my CF list from the beginning. While I do refer to PETA's list when I can't find information elsewhere, they aren't on the top of my list. For anything.

      Oh, I thought PETA were the ones to go to for info. Thanks for the heads up!

    I say I love you for this post. I've been lusting after Malice since I first saw a swatch but couldn't bring myself to pay that much.

    Deborah Lippmann's polishes are fantastic! Addicted To Speed is the best top coat I've ever used; dries very fast and stays shiny!

    Thank you so much for this post! I missed out on Malice, and I've stalking eBay, but I could never get myself to pay so much for a nail polish :D.
