Today I have swatches for you of the 'new' verses 'old' Ulta3 polishes that I have found. I have said this before, but when I say 'old', I say that because the writing on the back of these bottles don't match all the current bottles. However, I have purchased all of these 'old' versions within the last month.
I have already swatched most of these with their description, so I won't go into details.
Precious - Old on the left, New on the right. I prefer the old version. Actually, I would love to have the colour of the old, with the foil finish and sparkles of the new.
Romance - New on the left, old on the right. They are both similar tones, but the new version has a strong crystal shimmer and the other has more a subtle red shimmer. So I guess it depends if you like sparkly or subtle. I like sparkly, so the new one for me. Both three coats.
Pink colada - No comparison here. It's not even worth picking a favourite because they are not even the same animal. Old on the left, new on the right. Three coats of the old one, only one coat of the new one. I can't believe that Ulta3 can release a polish with the same name, but make it sooooo different.
Neutral - Again, not even the same animal here. I like them both. Old on the left, new on the right.
Little boy blue - New on the left, old on the right. Hard to pick my favourite between these two, but I think I have to go with the old version. It's more opaque (2 coats verses 3 coats for the new one) and it has a much better foil finish.
Has anyone else seen different versions of ones I don't have listed here? I'm sure there must be others other there.
Wow why does ulta3 do this? Its so weird! I definitely love the new pink colada soo much better. and I have the new version of precious and prefer it to the old ome :)
ReplyDeleteI've got waterlily (the dark purple one) and I once saw a more bluey green version at a chemist...weird variation!
I have the old version of Bo Peep which I can swatch some time. I'm curious to see the difference on the nails, so I might grab a new bottle and see.
ReplyDeleteThanks for these! I LOVE the old version of Pink Colada - the new version has never stood out for me. Also, I always thought Neutral was poorly named, I think the old version is much more appropriate, even if I do love the new colour.
ReplyDeleteI have the old version of Bo Peep, it's a bright pink with silver glitter inside. If I'm not wrong, the new one is a pink creme.
ReplyDeleteCheryl - looks like you found another version of Bo peep. I haven't seen your version anywhere.
ReplyDeleteSaw the 'midnight fever' ulta 3 polish that looks way different to the one i have.
ReplyDeleteyour one looks nicer blue than my one (it turns a dark blue, nearly black) :(.
Lydia - May they labeled the bottle wrong. The is a blue, almost black polish that is just called 'Midnight', so I bet they mixed the labels.
ReplyDeleteHey Kitties, I made an order with Blue Glitter in it today - there's a difference! The glitter in V2 is smaller, a teeny bit more green, darker, and no silver. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a121/candybunnyx/image_1361761435760931_zpsbc89c96e.jpg There's also a difference in Earl Grey - I only have the new one, but I was a bit surprised when it arrived after using (and breaking) the old 13.5ML
