Barielle Soho at Night vs Zoya Monica

Saturday, September 29, 2012
I mentioned yesterday that Barielle Soho at Night reminded me of Zoya Monica. The two are very similar dusty plum creams from this year's Fall collections. It is pretty clear from the bottle shots that they are not dupes, but just how different are they on the nail?...


Zoya Monica: 2 coats (no top coat) on index and ring fingers
Barielle Soho at Night: 2 coats (no top coat) on middle and pinkie fingers


Soho at night is slightly more muted and dusty compared to Monica. It also seems to have a touch more of a blue tint. Both have a great cream formula and are opaque in two coats. No top coat in the comparison swatches...


They are not dupes, but really close. I'm pretty sure without a close inspection, a lot of people wouldn't notice a difference even if worn in single manicure.

What do you think of them? Different enough to justify owning both?

Thanks for looking!
