W7 Metallic Jupiter

When I purchased Metallic Venus I also bought Metallic Jupiter, which at the time looked like it might be a dupe for Models Own Purple Blue.

After wearing Metallic Jupiter I can tell you that they are very similar, but different enough that I’m happy to have both.

The base of Metallic Juoiter is darker an it only required two coats.

The finish of Metallic Jupiter is similar to Purple Blue in that it appears to be made up of tiny glittery/flakie particles. As you can see in this picture, the polish flashes either hot pink or a bright blue.

Here you can see the finish:

As I said the base of this is darker that Purple Blue, in some lights it even looks black.

Here’s a blurry picture to show the blue shimmer:

And here’s a close up that kinda shows both colours:

So sadly not a dupe for Purple Blue, but it might quell you’re need for it if you don’t want to fork out. You can buy W7 Planets collection for £1.99 in Savers or for £3 including shipping in the uk from Amazon.

Hope you liked this one, I’ve ordered Metallic Mars so I’ll probably swatch that in a few days.

W7 Metallic Venus

I was in Savers yesterday (a discount beauty and toiletries shop in the UK) and I was looking at the nail polish (obviously) when I noticed some that looked like they could be duochromes, sure enough they were. I bought two of them Metallic Venus and Metallic Jupiter, by W7. I think that metallic Jupiter may be a dupe for Models Own Purple Blue (swatches here) so I’ll do a comparison soon. Today I’m gonna show you Metallic Venus.

In the bottle, it flashes purple, blue, pink, and a coppery orange.

On the nails, it is just as beautiful! Here it is with no flash.

The most prominent colours on the nail are the blue, the purple and the pink, it really is lovely!

This is quite similar to Models Own Purple Blue, but the finish of it is quite different. Purple blue is kinda flaky/shimmerey, this is smother and has more of a sheen, does that make sense?

 The blue flash in this is also slightly brighter and bluer.

This took three coats to be opaque but it’s really worth it, and I imagine it would look awesome over black which I shall do some time.

Really hope you enjoyed this post,
