Comparison: Kiko 293 + China Glaze Grape Pop

Hey there!
When I showed you Kiko's 293 a couple of days ago, I was asked to compare it to China Glaze's Grape Pop.
They're both really similar: both a dark blue-toned purple cremes, both two-coaters. So if you don't want to look too closely, you can declare them alike and just get one of them.

However, if you pay attention, you'll be able to see some differences. The China Glaze polish is a little darker, and also seems to be more purple-toned. That makes the Kiko nail polish a tad lighter and more blue-toned.
Still, these differences only show up when you compare them directly, side to side. I personally prefer the Kiko one more, because it like the blue undertones and to me, its consistency is better. The China Glaze one is a little thick, the Kiko one not, it's way thinner. I wouldn't say you need to have both.
So what do you think? Close enough? Or are those utterly different to you?

  4. Hey! Where did you get Kiko 293? I have been looking for the perfect purple nail polish with a bluish tint. I can't find it on amazon.com or Kiko's site :(

    1. That's a pity! Mine is from Italy actually, that's where my sister bought it this summer! Maybe they discontinued it?
