Versus-- OPI Lincoln Park after Dark and Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Pat on the Black.

First sorry for picture quality, but my camera died, and I have no batteries for it and couldn't find my rechargeable battery charger. So these pics were taken from my camera phone. Second, I had another versus planned for today, but I was painting my nails today and I found a dupe for my favorite OPI polish. I decided to share the news.

My favorite OPI polish is Lincoln Park After Dark, and the dupe is Sally Hansen complete salon manicure Pat on the Black. Now it's not the exact same color, but it's pretty darn close. While I was painted my nails today with Pat on the Black, I kept thinking that the color looked very similar. Then I got to thinking that it looked like Lincoln Park After Dark. So I ran to my collection and pulled it from my collection. This is probably the reason that I had not realized it before because in the bottle Pat on the Black looks a lot lighter then it really is. I also googled Lincoln Park After Dark dupes. For better pic quality, google it. 

Here's how they compare. They both will look black on your nails from a far, but they are a really deep purple. Lincoln Park After Dark is a little darker than Pat on the Black, but it's not that noticeable  I couldn't get a accurate pic of them side by side on my nails. In the pic below of my nails, Lincoln Park After Dark looks completely black, but it's not. 

Price wise how they compare. 

Pat on the Black on got on sale with two other polishes in a holiday kit back in February when they were reduced down to like 2 dollars for the whole seat. So I paid under one dollar for this. In general, I believe that the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is about the same price as OPI. Where I buy my polishes, I believe that SH is 7.99 ( not really sure because of the ones I own, I have not bought any full price. Caught them ALL on SALE!) I do know that OPI full price is about 8.50 full price. Not much of a difference, but just in case you cannot find one, you have options. 

swatches. Here you can see that Pat on the black is lighter than lincoln park after dark. This is only one coat on the paper to show that they are NOT black.

Sorry this pic doesn't do OPI polish justice. It looks black in the pic. TRUST ME  it's not. 

I was so excited I had to blog about this.
