New Nail Polish Obsesh - Cheaper than Chips MUA

I have more nail polish than is humanly necessary, I know this. Let's just say if the nail techs backstage at Eurovision happened to lose ALL their polishes in one go I'd be able to replace them all - twelve times over. Does that stop me picking the polishy feckers up? Nope. 

Last weekend, having spotted an elusive Superdrug store in Wexford I was drawn to the new look MUA nail polish bottles - mainly because they are the actual hawk of a high end brand - can you tell what it is?

These dinky wonders are almost exact dupes for Essie bottles and at just €1.39 I had to pick a couple up. I've been fooled by cheap nail polish prices before though so stopped at the two that I fancied most. Bright Coral and Frozen Yoghurt. 

The amazing news? These polishes are absolutely beautiful on the nail. Frozen Yoghurt above is an exact dupe for OPI's Planks a Lot and a very close match to Essie's own Play Date. The creamy formulation applies like a dream and leaves a high shine finish in just two coats. 

AFTER two days wear!!

Bright Coral is just that, eye poppingly bright and almost identical to Essie's Geranium, again application is a cinch and here's the deal clincher (as if the price wasn't enough) These polishes laaaaaast on the nail. I managed to get 3 days from Frozen Yoghurt without so much as a scratch and 4 days from Bright Coral. Result. 

So what's the downside I hear you ask, MUA is exclusively available from Superdrug and as all of us Irish beauty lovers know, those stores are as rare as hen's teeth - because of this when you do get to a store the MUA stand is usually desecrated. Well here's the great news that I was completely unaware of... MUA ship worldwide! You knew, didn't you? 

I might just have ordered the rest of the collection from the site directly for £1 each! Delivery is a pretty reasonable £4.95, considering it's a butt load of polishes AND I got a discount of £3. My geansai load of polishes promise to be here in 4 days and I'll be sure to update you all when I try the rest. 

Tell me, are you a polish dupe lover? Have you tried any of these newly formulated polishes?

Cherry Link Love for #BBloggers: Super Dupers!

Aloha, beauty bloggers and lovers alike. Here we are with this week's Cherry Link Love and we're talking about something very close to my penny pinching heart - DUPES!

I'm talking beauty bits that are a fraction of the cost of an original product yet do an incredible job nonetheless. MUA are prolific dupers but I'm going to link my post that's an Estée Lauder Modern Mercury dupe from MAC - Superb. 

There's also an upcoming post this week about my favourite MAC shadow dupes but for now I'm dying to see your bargainous buys. Remember, if you don't have a post to hand about the topic you can still comment with your blog link and a dupe suggestion to share in the Stat Love!
