Comparison Isadora Wine Crush and Kicks Black Diamond

Recently two Swedish nail polish brands released a similar textured shade - a glittery maroon. Isadora released their Wine Crush and Kicks their Black Diamond. I wanted to see how similar they were so I did a comparison.

In the bottles they are very similar. A maroon base with loads of gold glitters.

On the nails you can actually see a tiny difference. Isadora's Wine Crush has a tiny bit darker base but they both have the same amount of red and gold glitters. The bases are actually dark purples but the glitters make them look maroon.

In my pictures I wear two coats of each and drying time is about the same for both of them, about 15 minutes for touch dryness.

The price is 79 SEK for each, but Isadora holds only 6 ml whereas Kicks holds 10 ml.

The wide brush is better on Isadora Wine Crush but Kicks Black Diamond holds more polish for the same money and has a smaller cap underneath the big one which is more comfortable to grip than the Isadora cap.

In my opinion they are so similar that you don't need both. However, they are not dupes either. Based on my comparison my choice is Kicks Black Diamond :)

  1. Kul jämförelse! Tycker att glittret på långfingret ser ut som lite blått, men inte på lillfingret, måste ju vara ljuset eller nåt, för det var ju samma lack på de två. Men de är sååå fina bägge två. :-)

  2. Intressant att se en jämförelse. Jag skulle nog också köra på Kicks Black Diamond. Jag har inte köpt något av dem än, så det är bra att veta att de är så lika. Jag fick hem Kicks Moondust att recensera efter att jag hade köpt Isadoras Emerald Crush, och jag gav faktiskt bort Emerald Crush eftersom jag insåg att de var väldigt lika (men Moondust är snyggare).

  3. Intressant! Min iakttagelse har också varit att jag inte behöver båda. Har Wine Crush och är nöjd med det...
