I didn’t plan to do the comparison this quick, but last night in Zumba class, I somehow ruined the polish on my right index finger and had to remove it. So it was convenient that I grabbed a few similar colour and compared 🙂

Here are the colours I have in the taupe family. This first pic is just to show you the bottle colours and the order that they go on my nails, not too much of the colours themselves.

From L-R:
– Orly Prince Charming (on pinkie)
– Joe Fresh Storm (on ring finger)
– Rimmel Pro Steel Grey (on middle finger), and
– Sally Hansen Complete Salon Commander in Chic (on index finger).

What is your guess/ verdict just with this pic?

Below is the close-up on the nails. Ignore the uneven nail length, I’m still recovering from the split last time.

Obivously Prince Charming is darker than the other 3 and therefore out of this game.

Among the rest, I would say Commander in Chic is just a tiny bit darker, but quite unnoticeable IRL. I have to say the difference is very minimal even though they have different colour tints underneath the taupe. Once on the nails, maybe some of you nail experts can tell but I can’t.

Application wise, the wide brush of Commander in Chic and Steel Grey certainly wins, but like I said, I don’t have problems with the smaller brush, as I have had enough practice 🙂 Opacity wise, Storm and Prince Charming win. Lol, this is a fun game where everybody wins, isn’t it?

More pictures with different lightings.

If you notice the difference, which one is your favorite?
