Discontinued nail polish dupe

March 3, 2017 9:38 AM

I have this nail polish and I am almost out. It is Salon Perfect Loves Me, Loves Me Not. I like it because it is matte, the dragees are flat and not beaded, and it looks like TV fuzz. Anyone know of a good dupe?

I'd ask this of the nail board at makeupalley.com those folks are really knowledgeable on products and dupes.

Best answer: Dance Legend Argus! The base is sheer but ever so slightly grey, and there are a few tiny flecks of sparkle, but it's very very close. To counteract the sparkle you could use a matte topcoat. Here's a closeup.

Response by poster: Holy cow, showbiz_liz, that is really close!

Best answer: On my phone, so I can't link, but I found 3 contenders. Readily available to purchase, Chirality Nosferatu looks to be a very good match. If you like the thrill of the hunt for hard to find polishes (and also like splurging your money on manicures), you could try Enchanted Polish 7 Nation Army or Glam Polish King Cry-Baby (which has a silver holo base, might make it hard to use as a topper). I do not own any of these polishes, though.
