Dupes/Comparisons: Squishy Reds (Part 2)

Happy Monday! You all can officially call me a liar haha. This post was meant to go up last Friday (1/22) but as usual time got away from me and before I realized it, a week had gone by and now it's officially February! I apologize for sounding like a broken record but it really is much more difficult for me to post "normally" when I'm back in school. Even though I only have class 4/5 days of the weekday, my courses this semester are heavily reading/writing based. Also it's still within the first couple weeks of the semester so I'm still trying to find a schedule that will enable me to be able to do everything needed at school while still having time to blog and do my nails! :) That intro was mighty long but I think it was needed. Onto what this post is actually about haha.

(Even though I'm late...by my own time) Today I have part 2 of the squishy reds dupe/comparisons! This time we will be comparing category 1 or "Shimmery/more jelly red". The two I'll be comparing today are:

• Zoya Aphrodite (on my pointer/ring finger; 3 coats, no topcoat)
• Sinful Color Horizon Shine (on my middle/ring finger; 3 coats, no topcoat)

I always include a bottle shot of the colors I'm comparing because sometimes in the bottle they look so close but when you actually swatch them, they're completely different:

And of course, here are the swatches:

There we have it! Definitely not dupes, but they're actually pretty close. I would say the main differences would be that Zoya is a bit more red and has more pronounced flakies while Sinful Colors is more orange, has a "jellier" base and is more just straight shimmer. Both are really pretty but if I had choose one, I'd go with Zoya!
