Butter London Wallis Comparisons/Alternatives

Right up front I will tell you this isn't what I, a confirmed nail polish addict, would call a dupe. But it's close enough to Butter London Wallis to satisfy most or at least hold you over until you can find it.

Sally Beauty Supply had a sale yesterday on the Nina Ultra Pro polishes and I picked up Mossy Britches. Don't you just love that name?

I just posted my review of Wallis here but here are pics in case you missed it.

Unfortunately, I picked up a bottle of Mossy Britches with a defective brush. With as many bottles of NP as I have, you'd think I'd have run across this before now, so I wasn't too upset. But it was too far to drive to exchange it, so I took the brush out of another bottle of Nina Ultra Pro I had but will never wear.

Oy Vey
And just because I think it has the same "look" even though the colors aren't close, I did a swatch of Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Bronze Ablaze too...just for comparison. Then I happened by Forever XXI and saw Love & Beauty Olive, once again because I love the "yucky" greens, and WOW! So naturally I included it as well.

So here are my swatch comparisons...

The winner for Closest Match to Wallis, hands down, is Love & Beauty Olive. All of these are two coats.

What do you think? Close enough for you or will you hold out for Wallis?
