I have an amazing polish to show you today! But before that, I want to show you a comparison of a few nude gold nail polishes. My post this past Wednesday featured I Love Nail Polish Iconic, and I mentioned that it was really similar to a few other polishes of mine. So I would like to show you a quick comparison!
Bottle shot!
See? They look super similar in the bottle! From left to right, there’s ILNP Iconic, Color Club Cherubic, and Colors by Llarowe Blonde Ambition.
And on my nails:
Comparison shot
As you can tell, on the nails they are similar but not dupes! On my index finger and pinky – Color Club Cherubic, middle finger – ILNP Iconic, and ring finger – Colors by Llarowe Blonde Ambition.
Color wise, Iconic is more yellow gold while the other 2 are more nude gold. And Blonde Ambition is a bit darker than Cherubic, with Cherubic having some silver undertones. From a formula perspective, Iconic was the thinnest requiring 3-4 coats for opacity. The other two were comparable in formula, with just 2 coats to reach opacity.
Anyways, no dupes here! However, they are similar so if you aren’t a crazy polishaholic like me, you probably don’t need them all 🙂 I think my favorite is Blonde Ambition since it looks best with my skin tone, but they’re all beautiful!
OK… and finally, I want to show you my new Cadillacquer polish! It’s my first polish of this brand, and I love it so much! It’s goooorgeous!
Cadillacquer Seek the Fire
So so pretty! That blue is so great on its own, and then there are those stunning little red microglitters throughout. Yummy! I’m so happy I was able to pick this one up 🙂
What do you think? Do you own any of those gold holos? Any others that you can think of as possible dupes? And jeez, how amazing is Seek the Fire? Do you have any Cadillacquers?
Great comparison. Even though I like the CBL the best I’d have to get the CC to go with my budget. But at least I know they are pretty close! Thanks =)
Thanks! Yeah, they are very similar and all gorgeous! Can’t go wrong with any one of them 🙂
I love comparisons like this! I think the ILNP is my favorite.
Thanks! I do love that ILNP too 🙂
I so appreciate that comparison! Iconic is currently on my wishlist.
I think I might have had one Cadillacquer before, but I wasn’t impressed with the color and sold it off. Seek the Fire is a lovely blue though!
Thank you – I hope it helped 🙂 You can’t go wrong with Iconic!
Thanks for the comparison! 🙂 Love those red specks in the blue. 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂 I agree – those red specks make that polish soooo pretty!
Love the comparison! All are beautiful and I have 2 of the 3
Thank you! Which ones do you have? They really are all beautiful 🙂
Ohh, great comparison post! I’ve never tried writing one of these posts myself but it seems like it could be kind of fun. That Cadillacquer polish is gorgeous as well!
Thanks so much! I like seeing these kind of posts on other blogs, but I hadn’t done one before!
That Cadillacquer has been on my WL for ages, and this is not helping! :p I still think I might pick up CbL Blonde Ambition at some point, it is so pretty!
It was on my wishlist forever too! I found it randomly on some storenvy and grabbed it. Oooh Blonde Ambition is totally worth it!
I really like how Iconic looks, and your first Cadillacquer is gorgeous! 🙂
Thank you so much! I’m so glad I own Seek the Fire and all those pretty gold polishes 🙂
I like the ILNP best, but they are all lovely! The Cadillacquer is really unique and pretty too!
Thanks! I really am glad I got all 3 of those golds because they’re all so pretty!
similar, but not the same! lol.
Exactly! Which is why I need them all 😉
Very nice comparison! I would still want all of them though, lol.
Thanks! Yeah, I’m glad I have them all 🙂 They’re just different enough!
