Dupes? Julep Holly, Angelina & Phoebe

Hey! 
I am continuing my possible dupes discoveries and up next is Julep's Holly, Julep's Angelina & Julep's Phoebe! 

These are quickly done swatches

Okay so the breakdown of these polishes! As far as formulas go, Holly was the most sheer. It took a bit more to get a nice opaque look however it applied nicely. Angelina applied the best in my opinion, very easy to apply, opaque in one coat. Absolutely lovely. Phoebe was the thickest/goopiest but still not bad! So, they were all okay formulas but Angelina wins. 

It's very hard to tell the difference between the colours but ARE they dupes? I can't really tell. What do you think?

Dupes? Julep Kirby & Julep Jordan

Hey!
So one thing that is very common with nail polish is trying to find dupes. I am going to start trying to determine whether certain polishes are dupes or not!

For my first installment... Julep's Kirby vs Julep's Jordan! 

Kirby: Silver jagged glitter top coat
Jordan: Full-coverage silver gunmetal multi-dimensional glitter

The descriptions are not too similar, but the polishes more-so.

(Kirby - Jordan)

Okay, so they aren't dupes. The main differences are that Jordan is more full coverage (I layered them both on), and that the glitter is different. Kirby's glitter is more like shards of glass while Jordan's is typical polish glitter. Similar? Yes. Dupes? Nope! 

I think I prefer Kirby. I like the glitter shapes better! How about you?
