Good morning! Today, I have 2 comparisons with L'Oreal Safari Chic. This, the first one, compares it with Sonia Kashuk Fatigued. Safari Chic is one of the new Colour Riche offerings. I borrowed a few of these Colour Riche lacquers to swatch in hopes of finding alternates: L'Oreal is a perpetrator of animal testing. I am always excited to search for alternatives from cruelty-free companies, thus the purpose of these swatches.
I am glad to say that I think that Fatigued is an excellent substitute.
Both are murky, greyed sage greens shot through with subtle shimmer which is unnoticeable except in sunlight. Their shades are approximately the same: I would say that I can't find more than 1/2 shade difference between the two. The shimmer in Fatigued, however, is slightly more prominent, although this difference is only visible in the sun, and even then only slightly.
Application is similar, though I prefer the formula of the Sonia Kashuk. I do think the L'Oreal brush is OK, but the formula is rather thick. 2 coats to opacity, though I did 3.
For clarity's sake I pronounce them very-near dupes. Even if Safari Chic were made by a cruelty-free company I could not justify owning both.
oh I love this green polishes!!
