in this photo, i have bangin' on my index (leftmost) and ring fingers and red my fortune cookie on my middle and pinky (rightmost) fingers. please note that some browsers distort colors and that rmfc and bangin' are both bright warm reds... neither is orange at all irl.
in terms of color: in indoor/dim lighting, these two polishes are perfect matches. in bright lighting, bangin' appears to be just a hair more vividly red than red my fortune cookie, but i had to really look to make out this tiny difference.
in terms of formula/application: i would describe the formula of red my fortune cookie as great, and the formula of bangin' as absolutely perfect. both of these polishes went on very smoothly and had great pigmentation (requiring two coats for total opacity), but the formula of bangin' is just… sooooo unbelievably buttery smooth.

Those are both so freaking gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this comparison! I really would like to trim down my RBL lemmings season after season and thank goodness these are dupes! Unless there's a sale or something.
ReplyDeleteI'd get that OPI for sure. I initially didn't like the Hongkong Collection but now I almost got all the colors in it!
Thanks for the comparison, I was really starting to kick myself for not buying Bangin!
