I'm posting this comparison because as I opened my order, I was initially mad thinking I was sent the same bottle twice....before realising that yes my order was correct, and yep those 2 colors look exactly the same.
So here is 2 coats each of Artemis (pointer and middle finger) and Hefesto (ring and little pinky).
So....yep, the same...no?
Hope this has saved someone $8!
Gorgeous polish but that sure stinks!
ReplyDeletewtf! thats crazy.. is one mislabeled?? i thought one was more of a top coat and the other is supposed to have some silvery foily frost type stuff in it.....
ReplyDelete?? Def not frosty looking at all.
DeleteI think one bottle might be mislabeled. Artemis is supposed to be pretty frosty looking.
ReplyDeleteNOt frosty looking, its weird/
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteArtemis is a silver holographic polish and Hefesto was made to be used as a top coat, adding the holo effect to any color without modify it. If you try to use Artemis as a top coat, you'll see the difference between them.
Even at one coat each, they both looked exactly the same.
DeleteI have both and they are slightly different.
ReplyDeleteArtemis is more frosty and metallic looking while Hefesto is smoother...the color is the same but the finish is a bit different...
No frosty finish for mine I'm afraid, they both look excatly the same!
DeleteI had to really, really, *really* look at your photos to see the differences. The difference is so tiny that there's no way that I would by both.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't see how Hefesto is supposed to be a topcoat without changing the color of the color under it, it definitely seems to have a slightly-tarnished-silver base to it.
As far as top coats go, this is quite 'snowy' and not clear. Personally, I wouldnt use this one as a top coat.
DeleteHi, I love your blog!!! And you have a gorgeous family!
ReplyDeleteI'm brazilian and I have the Hefesto and the brand Speciallitá sells him as a holografic top coat, but he is so strong... For the holografic effect I'm always aply a very thin layer.
Kisses!
Thank you Bruna Maria! Iwill have to test it out as a top coat.
Deletegorgeous polish but yeah it sucks that they are so very close - I wouldn't notice the difference if you didn't let on
ReplyDeleteHmmm....I did some other online investigating and they should be different. I really think it is possible you got a mislabeled bottle.
ReplyDeleteWell even though they're pretty much the same polish, the good side of this is that now you have 2 gorgeous polishes!
