Hot Pink Nails :)

Ahh.. the story of my life :p

I am not the risk-taking style so once I settle on something, I love buying the same (or almost same) products over and over again. I was looking at my recent purchases and nail polishes I already had, and I realized that I have way too many hot pinks!
Here’s the line up
All five look similar in color – hot pink!
So I’ll try to compare them
here’s how I compared them. I took one dip and tried to utilize each nail color using that given amount.
(Full hand swatch – From left to right: OPI, essie, VOV, VOV, NYX)
* OPI – Don’t Know… Beets Me!
– It’s a more berry-magenta color compared to essie (status symbol) & VOV (Barbie Pink)
– Application is smooth and buildable
– Once applied, the formula spreads out to create an even smooth surface (very good!)
Color : 8/10
Texture : 10/10
Drying Speed: 9/10
lasting Power: 10/10
Overall: 9.5/10
* essie – Status Symbol
– It’s a brighter pink than the OPI
– Very buildable
– A bit more watery than the other polishes
– Creamy shine after drying is the best out of all
Color: 9/10
Texture : 10/10
Drying Speed : 9/10
Lasting Power: 9/10
Overall : 9.75/10
* VOV Barbie Pink
– The best “neon plastic pink” color
– Truly lives up to its name
– Not buildable at all
– Clumps and doesn’t even out
– Takes the longest to dry out
Color: 10/10
Texture: 6/10
Drying Speed: 2/10
Lasting Power: 7/10
Overall: 6.5/10
* VOV Pastel Red
– Sheer texture with tons of shimmer in it
– Doesn’t even out
– Hard to build
Color: 8/10
Texture: 7/10
Drying Speed: 8/10
Lasting Power: 8/10
Overall: 8/10
* NYX Dolly Pink
– hehe.. didn’t even know I had this color :p
– Drying speed is fast but the formula runs a bit
– Darker berry tone than even OPI
– Quite Sheer
Color: 8/10
Texture: 8/10
Drying Speed: 9/10
Lasting Power: 5/10
Overall: 7/10
I didn’t even know I had the NYX polish, but glad to see that it has a different tint than others 🙂 All in all, I still love pinks and hot pinks so I am not going to discourage myself and I am going to continue buying hot pinks :p
What’s your favorite shade? 🙂

    my fave shade is hot pink! I keep buying loads of hot pink nail polishes. I really have a huge collection of nail polishes. I think I own at least 80+ nail polishes of various shades. I'm really a nail polish fanatic~

    haha, you should do a show and tell post of all your babies >.<) what other shade do you like? I'm still in the exploring stage so it'll be nice to see what others like to wear :p

    yay hot pink!!! i actually liked the vov barbie pink's shade the best among the rest 🙂

    hmmmmm. i love really funky colours like mint green, pale yellow……. but i can't wear that on a daily basis! 😛 one of my fave polish is Opi's You Don't Know Jacques (it's a greyish colour!) 🙂

    I'm into the hot pink shades too, but I also love purple. There are some pink shades that are on the purply side I love. I will have to dig through my OPI to find the shades >.< I like wearing deep purple. OPI makes a gorgeous sparkly deep purple shade that is one of my faves.

    anyway i think that the OPI looks the nicest =)
