GOSH Purple Heart VS Zoya Ki





A bit blurry, but you get the idea of color :-)

Today I have a comparison post of GOSH Purple Heart VS Zoya Ki.  These two are similar in their shift from purple, to a greyish, to green.  Purple Heart is a tad darker in color, but also a thicker formula.  I almost could have gotten away with 1 coat!  But I did 2 coats for the pictures with 1 coat of Poshe.  This is on my Middle and Pinky fingers.  Ki is a lot more sheer.  But when I have sheer polishes, I think they are great for layering!  I used 3 coats for the pictures along with 1 of Poshe.  You will see in the pictures how there is a difference in color, but overall the two are very similar.  At first when I looked at the bottles, I thought they would be perfect dupes!  However, I realize how how sheer Ki is and it does show on the nail. 


On a side note, my Mom, Sister, and I went to see The Vow!  I just love Rachel McAdams! :-)  I won't tell you about the movie, other than I liked it!  I had no idea what to expect, but in thinking it over, I want to watch it again.  That usually to mean means a great movie.  I don't think anything will ever top The Notebook though.  Rachel McAdams and the gorgeous Ryan Gosling are forever my favorite movie couple!  lol  Ok...on to the pictures! 






















I'd say Purple Heart is awesome if you only need a quick 1, maybe 2 coat mani, but I think Ki is more shimmery and has a bit more duochrome to it.  Both give the duochrome effect though, which is always awesome!  And I love both brushes! haha I'm not sure when I got so picky about a brush, but either way, I feel like both Zoya and GOSH give me more precision with their smaller brushes.

We're getting closer to the weekend!! I'm sure I have lots to do, but hopefully I'll sneak in a movie or something!  Hope you enjoyed my comparison!

Much Love,

GOSH Gasoline and Purple Heart

Gasoline - 3 Coats, 1 Coat Poshe


Today I have more GOSH polishes for you!  These colors are so awesome too!  I really wish the GOSH brand was available in the US!  I would buy all of their colors!  Lindsay from Polish & Diamonds was kind enough to swap with me for these!! ;-)

Gasoline is a gorgeous shimmer that is purple, but you can see hints of blue and pink in it.  It was extremely hard for my camera to pick this color up!  I know in the bottle it is more purple, but I definitely could see the fuschia color on the nail.  This is 3 coats of Gasoline and 1 coat of Poshe. 















Now I personally think that they switched to two names for these polishes!  Gasoline should be the murky green to purple color!  Even the bottle has color swirls like you'd seen in gasoline!  And Purple Heart can be the shimmer one above, I guess because it reminds me of Valentine's Day and it has shimmer of purple, blue, and pink.  Oh well!  I guess that's the names they wanted!  Hope I didn't confuse anyone with my rambling ;-)  lol


Purple Heart - 2 Coats, 1 Coat Poshe



Purple Heart is a gorgeous duochrome!  It changes from purple, to a grey, to a green.  This is 2 coats with 1 coat of Poshe.  It also has a nice shimmer through it, nothing to bold, but just enough to keep the polish looking even more interesting than the color shift.  Plenty of pictures to see all the different shades of color from this gorgeous bottle!



See the bottle!?  It looks like gasoline! lol







 














So do you love these colors?  Me too.  And I'm sure some of you are sad because you don't have GOSH anywhere near you.  But you're in luck!  I *think* I have found some dupes for these, so look for that post in the next couple of days.  I'm not sure if I'll do the last two GOSH polishes or my comparisons yet.   Leave me a comment if you prefer one over the other!

Hope you enjoyed more swatches of GOSH!  ;-)

Much Love,
