NOTD: The Evolution of Revlon Facets of Fuchsia

I have to start out by saying that this color was part of my most recent hauls, & I've purchased enough that it's time for a no-buy =)  I hope to have time to put together a haul post & vid this weekend but we'll see.  They're always too short!

 

When I spotted Revlon Facets of Fuchsia on the shelf at Target, I like stopped in my tracks to grab it.  I don't have the color to compare myself, but it looks like it's a very near dupe for Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance:

You can check out swatches of Bad Romance on these blogs:  All Lacquered Up, Vampy Varnish, Scrangie, & many other blogs.  And to see a head-to-head comparison of the two check out Candy Coated Tips.

 

Now, over time I've come to really like matte-ifying glitter polishes, so after a couple days I added Matte Magic over top:

 

And after a few days of that, without time to fully change my mani, I decided to gloss it up again with a layer of China Glaze Golden Enchantment, a golden holo top coat that really changed the look of the manicure, it kind of washed out the black base & made the whole nail look more purple in some light:

 

Which version is your favorite?  Revlon seems to do a pretty decent job when they set out to copy a color - sometimes (arguably I'm sure) even better than the original (Perplex anyone?).

 

Thanks for reading.
