Essie Mojito Madness and a Comparison

Mojito Madness is one of the stand out colors from Essie's Bikini So Teeny Summer 2012 collection.  It's a bright, light green creme.

Application wasn't my favorite.  It's a bit on the thick side and doesn't self level.

This is 2 coats.





When I put Mojito Madness on, it instantly reminded me of  Orly's Mint Mojito.  They're close but not the same.  Mojito Madness has more blue in it, darker and more opaque than Mint Mojito.  They may be similar enough for some not to own both, but as someone who has more than 1,000 polishes, I couldn't resist :D

Savina Purple Confetti

This is one amazing glitter!  Of course the pictures do it no justice.  This is polish is filled to capacity with holo glitter inside of a dark magenta (bordering on red) jelly base.  What's not to love?

I found this gorgeous polish at Nordstrom's rack along with a ton of other Savina brand polishes.  They were reasonably priced and had quite a few interesting colors.

Purple Confetti is very similar to Massini's Slamming Red.  The main difference is that Massini is just a shade more red and the holo glitter in it is smaller and more flat.  Purple Confetti only needed 2 thick coats of top coat to get rid of the bumpy feel while Slamming Red seems to need an infinite amount.  When it comes down to it, if you're not able to find the Massini, Purple Confetti can definitely quench your thirst.





Here's a blurry picture so you can get an idea of how blingtastic this polish is:


This is a comparison of Savina Purple Confetti and Massini Slamming Red.  (Pinky and middle fingers are the Savina, index and ring fingers are the Massini.
