Accessorize Sprinkles - Dragonfly & Bumble Bee

I was excited to try out these two new polishes after discovering them in my local Superdrug last week.  I couldn't decide which to try first so I decided to use both, one on each hand with an accent nail.  Here's how they looked:

 

 

Dragonfly is a green polish with lots of dark blue / navy glitter through it, in certain lights the glitter looks almost purple.  Bumble Bee is an orange polish with black glitter.

 

 

 

Both polishes applied well, these photos show 3 coats but they were pretty much opaque in two, I just did a third to get the glitter exactly how I wanted it.  I also did two layers of top coat to get a smooth finish as they do feel slightly bumpy on their own.

 

 

 

I'm not entirely sure the two polishes go together but I do love how they look on the nail, I think I would have preferred to just use one or the other than to mix the two though.

 

Bumble Bee is ideal for Halloween, I can't wait to do a themed manicure including it.

 

 

One downside of these polishes is removal, as with all glitter polishes they can be a total pain to get off, after trying to remove one finger with regular remove and cotton pads I gave in and went for the trusty tinfoil technique, I suggest you do the same!

 

 

NEW Accessorize Sprinkles

There have been murmurs online about a new collection of Accessorize polishes which may be dupes of the recent Nails Inc & W7 Sprinkles collection, so I had to head to Superdrug and see if I could check them out.  They were there but not in great numbers, here's the shelf:

 

 

There seem to be 6 of them, 5 very similar to the Nails Inc Sprinkles and one black with gold glitter which is something I have seen several companies do (including Barry M very recently).

 

The collection includes:
 

Damselfly - Blue (definite dupe of Nails Inc / W7)

Butterfly - White, black & red (definite dupe of W7)

Dragonfly - Green with dark blue glitter

Leopard Moth - White & black (definite dupe of W7)

Firefly - Black & gold (easily duped but not a true sprinkle to me, more of a glitter)

Bumble Bee - Orange with black glitter.

 

Here are the obvious dupes:

Damselfly, Butterfly & Leopard Moth.

They are £3.45 each which is pretty steep for a 10ml bottle, but worth it if you can't get similar elsewhere.  If you want any of the W7 dupes (Damselfly, Butterfly or Leopard Moth shown above) then I strongly suggest you go with the W7 versions, simply because they are much cheaper and larger bottles.  The polishes are exact dupes, you can see swatches and details on where I got mine here.  Or search under the sprinkles tag on the blog for additional photos and manicure pictures.

 

I picked up Dragonfly and Bumble Bee as I haven't seen anything similar to these colours, Dragonfly has dark blue glitter through it and Bumble Bee has black.
 

 

 

 

I'll get proper swatches up as soon as I've tried them out.  I'm really hoping the quality is as good as the Nails Inc and W7 polishes as I really love the sprinkle look and my two new additions will be ideal for some Halloween themed manicures.
