Comparison Post: butter LONDON vs JulieG
Monday, April 15, 2013
If you've been hanging around long enough, you know my favorite red is from butter LONDON called Pillar Box Red. I love the formula and I love the way it looks on my nails!
I know for a lot of you, the price of a BL is way out of your budget. It usually is for me too, I only have this because of the special Coterie had forever ago.
So today, I'm comparing my go-to red, Pillar Box Red, to JulieG Cherry on Top. I also threw in Pure Ice Cherries on Top for the name and to show how more of a pink it is.
Let's begin! Enjoy the pics!

Okay, so below you'll see each finger with a different red. In bright light, PBR is slightly more vibrant than JG Cherry on Top, but at a glance and even in darker light, it is basically the same red.
Cherries on Top by Pure Ice has a very pink hue to it. If you're looking for a RED, then I don't recommend getting this one. It's still a GREAT color to have in your collection though. For only $2 a bottle, it's a keeper.
The JulieG Cherry on Top is just $4 a bottle and does the job for your basic red. If you're on a budget, definitely go for the JG option. If you have money to spend, then go for the BL Pillar Box Red for $15 a pop.
What do you think about these? Are they similar enough that you'd buy the drugstore brand??
