Thrifty Thursday! Less than a Buck - With a Grey Comparison

Nothing to Disclose
*This product is Cruelty Free 


Thursday again - time for a thrifty find! Tonight's thrifty polish is a 99¢ polish- Essence Colour and Go Movie Star. And at the end I'll have a grey comparison for you with Dior and Nails Inc.





Movie Star is a medium grey creme. No issues at all - creamy smooth formula, easy application and it dries to s high shine. Two coats for full opacity and no top coat for the photos.






How does it compare to other greys? These 3 were the closest I have.


no top coat on any of them


Perfecto is darker with blue undertones. Paddington is darker with green undertones and Gris Montagne is a light-to-medium grey that's a few shades lighter than Movie Star. All cremes. All perfect formulas.

Dior polishes retail for $24.00. Nails Inc. polishes retail for $9.50 (here in the States) and Essence polishes retail for 99¢ in the smaller bottles and $1.99 in the shaped bottles.

What do you think?  Personally I need all 4 of these - they are totally different as far as color. Formula and application are similar.

  1. Looks like it could be a dupe to Nails Inc. The Thames?

  3. looks great. We have this polish in canada too...some of the colors are great. Not as inexpensive as you guys get it for but a great polish all the same

  4. I like Movie Star and my bottle is only half-full now, but I won't search for a substitute because I have Zoya Kelly. Not exactly a dupe, but one doesn't need both, I think.
