Doppelganger: Julep's "Toni" and China Glaze "Below Deck"

Hello! Been exactly one month since I posted... but that doesn't mean I've been idle! A few weeks ago I was ready to try a brown since Autumn is here, so I grabbed Below Deck to swatch. I was keeping it with my neutrals! As soon as I put it on I think, Wow, this look a lot like the Julep I got in my September box. So I swatch that one too, and wow! I was keeping Toni with my purples, yet they look SO alike!


I love this shade. Ok, here's the good stuff.
ONE COAT

Hate to say it since Julep is so much more expensive, but China Glaze was definitely less streaky and more opaque.

TWO COATS WITH SECHE VITE


Both finished off very glossy and flatted out nicely, even before SV.





Toni definitely has a richer plum hue, but I also love that below deck is slightly subdued. Personally if I would have known, I'd have kept Below Deck and asked for something else from Julep. Oh well! :)

Have a great rest of your days out there!
