Chanel Blue Satin and Hard Candy Walmart Mr. Right

As per a reader request, I am providing comparison swatches between Chanel Blue Satin and Hard Candy Walmart Mr. Right. I left Mr. Right on my thumb, middle finger and pinky (hence tipwear and dulled shine of topcoat - sorry) and applied Chanel Blue Satin to my pointer and ring ringers.
The Hard Candy Walmart is three coats over one coat SpaRitual resurface bc with one coat SpaRitual tout de suite tc.
The Chanel is two coats over one coat SpaRitual resurface bc with one coat SpaRitual tout de suite tc.
I think you could get away with two coats of Hard Candy Walmart, and one coat of Chanel Blue Satin for that matter, but I finished with an extra coat on each for good measure. Both applied well; Blue Satin is more pigmented - but four times as pigmented? Nope.
I included two overexposed photos so you could see more detail - since this is a dark and vampy polish. I think they are a pretty close match.

  1. Very helpful post! I can hardly tell the difference.

    I don't care for the price tag of Chanel polishes, and so far I've been REALLY impressed with the wear of my new Hard Candy polishes. I guess I'll just have to make a run to Walmart for just one more (yeah right!) Hard Candy...

  2. Thank you for comparing them! To me the Chanel looks a tick darker, but otherwise they look the same.

  3. I am completely failing to see any difference - which makes Mr Right a jolly good buy!
