Dermelect Color Comparison

In my last post, I showed you three of the six new color nail treatments from Dermelect.  Today, I'll show you comparisons to similar colors I own.

Comparison to Dermelect - Above It

Pointer -
China Glaze - Bahamian Escape

Middle, Pinky -
Dermelect 'Above It'

Ring -
China Glaze - Secret Peri-winkle




Clearly China Glaze - Secret Periwinkle is the odd man out. (Ring finger)









As a side note, China Glaze - Secret Periwinkle has more in common with Essie - Lapis of Luxury.

More clear from this picture, Above It is not a complete dupe of Bahamian Escape, but they are very close.




As a side note, China Glaze - Bahamian Escape is similar to Color Club - Factory Girl.  Factory Girl is brighter.

Comparison to Dermelect - Luxurious

Thumb -
Revlon - Gum Drop (Smelly Polish!)

Pointer -
Essie - Lilacism

Middle -
OPI - Rumple's Wiggin'

Ring -
OPI - Do You Lilac It? (more here)

Pinky -
Dermelect- Luxurious




OPI - Do You Lilac It? looks like a dupe for Dermelect - Luxurious

Comparison to Dermelect - Persuasive

Pointer, Ring -
Color Club - Vintage Couture

Middle, Pinky -
Dermelect - Persuasive




I think here you can tell Dermelect is only slightly more peach and muted, but not by much.









Overall, these two are difficult to distinguish in certain lighting situations.  Like I mentioned in the last post, Persuasive is a bit of a chameleon.

    1. lol :D you are so cute I want so smush you k?

      I have a lot of topcoats. I tend to pick topcoats based on what I want out of them. Usually Seche Vite (SV) for quick and dirty jobs, it gives super shine! If I have more time I will use slower drying topcoats. I really love CND Air Dry. It's a nice in between regular and quick. It doesn't nearly dry as shiny, but I like the consistency. I believe all of the ones in this post were either CND Speedy or SV.

      Ya! I totally can do that. Crank on the imaginary oven, I'm in the mood for white chocolate macadamia nut cookies!
