Hey everyone!
I found a dupe for Julep's Anne, duh, I come up with some cleaver titles..I know. :-P
When I saw Anne in my January Julep Maven box, Forever 21's Love & Beauty-Purple came to mind.
I couldn't remember if I gave my "purple" (L&B's titles are just about cleaver as mine..haha) away or not.
*I had to make room for all my new polishes...addicted much?*
I did NOT give it away, so I compared and this is what I found...
Julep's Anne-Love & Beauty's Purple
Love & Beauty is $2.80 for .47fl oz
Julep's is $14 for .27fl oz
My tags showed up microscopically...so, if you don't have super vision, it reads:
Juleps, L&B's, Juleps, L&B's, Juleps.
Both polishes needed two coats to be opaque and streak free.
They are both creamy, but Julep's seemed to dry a little more matte.
With topcoat, they look identical.
L&B is on the pointer and ring finger.
Julep is on the pinky, middle, and thumb.
With topcoat
With topcoat, Julep is on the pinky, middle, and thumb.
Julep's brush.
L&B's brush.
The brushes are about the same, other than Julep's handle is longer.
I can't really tell you how the wear compares, I use my hands alot and my nail polishes tend to chip the very next day regardless of what brand and topcoat I use.
I say if you like this color and want to try it out, go for the Love & Beauty. It's way cheaper and you get more product.
