Until then I do have this lovely matte black polish aptly named Black Matte. Apparently I had a little incident with my index finger there that I don't recall....
I love having another bottle of matte black since the Julep bottles are fairly small. It's so sleek and sophisticated and powerful looking. This is two coats, super smooth formula, fast dry time.
Since I still had Cleopatra fairly handy it was easy enough to dig out for a comparison.
Formula-wise they applied the same. Two coats, comparable dry times.
I thought that perhaps Cleopatra was more black, but when I got out into the sun it appears that Black Matte is just more matte.
What do you think? Am I crazy? ....more than usual? lol
I really have no graceful way to wrap this up so... y'all take care! Wherever you are, be safe and happy polishing! (^_^)"/"
From the pictures, they look the same to me :)
ReplyDeleteYeah... sometimes I wasn't sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me or something? lol Maybe it was an angle thing.
DeleteI recommend you just get half a dozen different matte topcoats. :)
ReplyDeleteI do have a few. I like getting matte-on-purpose polishes, though. Especially with the black the matte topcoat gives it a weird rainbow shimmer I'm not in love with.
DeleteI think the Jessica polish does appear to be a tad bit more matte than the Julep. It's most noticeable for me in the first comparison photo.
ReplyDeleteYay! It's not just me! LOL
DeleteI agree with Jasmine, they look the same. It's really pretty though.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Like black leather pants for my nails. ;)
DeleteMaybe the Julep is a bit darker but they look very similar to me
ReplyDeleteIt may depend on monitor settings. Some people are seeing it, others aren't.... *shrugs* They are very similar, which I'm actually glad for in this case. lol
