If It Pleases You, Missy!

Hello Dahlings!

 

The Nail Art A Go Go challenge is over. *droopy whiskers*

So a bunch of us were hanging out at The Glittah Pirates FB group

da other day (aka Polish Passionistas) & brainstorming prompts

for our next group challenge.

Then Missy Gnarly Gnails asked da group

if we knew of any dups for Literary Lacquers If It Pleases You.

 

So I went digging thru my stash & here's what I found...

 

 Da line up ~ Nabi Tawny 14 & Blackberry16,

LynB Designs Pliny the Elder,

Literary Lacquers If It Pleases You,

The Devil Wears Polish A Nice Chianti

I Love Nail Polish Kings & Queens,

The Devil Wears Polish Lady Marmalade,

(both the minis come in full size as well)

 

 Right hand with da bottle of If It Pleases You

(2 coats on each finger)

 

index ~ If It Pleases You

an oddly bruised looking plumy brown with a strong rainbow

this is one of those polishes that is so borderline ugly

...it's beautiful

 

middle ~ A Nice Chianti

a berry wine-ish with a medium rainbow

not a dup for IIPY

 

ring ~ Kings & Queens

a berry to purple shift with a strong rainbow

not a dup for IIPY

 

pinky ~ Lady Marmalade

another berry-ish to purple shift, but lighter with a subtle rainbow

not a dup for IIPY

 Left hand with da bottle of If It Pleases You

(2 coats each nail)

 

index ~ If It Pleases you

 

middle ~ Pliny the Elder

a rich brown with plumy shift, a medium rainbow

& fine copper sprinkles

the closest I have to IIPY

 

ring ~ Blackberry

a slightly plum leaning brown with weak rainbow

not a dup for IIPY

 

pinky ~ Tawny

medium brown with weak rainbow

not even close to duping IIPY

So there you have it, Missy!

The closest of da polishes I have to duping If It Pleases You is:

Pliny the Elder

& it leans more brown as well as being much darker.

If It Pleases You is just such a unique color

that finding a dup may not be possible. LOL

 

Me being me, I couldn't just leave my nails da way they were...

So I decide to test some potential stamping polishes

& practice my on nail stamping.

 

 Da other line up ~ Orly Glitz, Wet N' Wild A Show At The Palladium,

JLB Twenty Four Karat, Orly Luxe & Voyeuristic Adventure

 

 I used both the full nail lips image & da single smooch

from Bundle Monster Plate 303 (plus my XL Squishy Stamper)

 

 pinky ~ Glitz

ring ~ A Show At The Palladium

middle ~ 24K

index ~ Luxe

thumb ~ Voyeuristic Adventure

 

All of them stamped, tho' it doesn't show well here.

Da Wn'W did da worst, da Orly's did fine, but da winner is 24K

I got it in a set with 6 other foil polishes

from Ross recently for cheap.

SCORE!

 

Da winners: Pliny the Elder & JLB Twenty Four Karats!

(all nails got a coat of Seche Vite to seal da goodness in)

 

I hope this helped, Mistress Missy! <3 font="">

 

>^. .^<

 

 I practicing my dignified pose.

What is I supposed to do with my tail?

 

You used how many polishes on your claws?

TWELVE!!!

 

I gonna hide from all dem bottles...

 

Thanks for stopping by!
