Milani vs China Glaze Purple Holo

Milani Hi-Res vs China Glaze Octa Gone Wild

Hello!

Here is a quick comparison post for you.

I chose 2 scattered holographic purple polishes.

I applied 3 coats of each over

 Duri Rejuvacote and 1 coat of top coat.

Milani Hi-Res is discontinued as of winter 2012.

 (you can find on blog sales for $2-$5)

China Glaze is discontinued as of 2010.

(eBay and blog sales for $15+)

Do you need both?

Probably not, but I still plan on keeping both.

Formula wise, China Glaze is more watery.

Color wise, China Glaze is a tad bit darker.

Holographic pay off, China Glaze has more of a linear scattered effect

while Milani has mostly a scattered holographic effect.

Can you guess which is which from the pictures below?
