Then I noticed that they most certainly are...
Here are some of the "dupes" that I got...
From the Foiled collection (left to right): Cold Metal, Lumin-icecent, Hot Like Lava, Foil Me Once
Back to Boho (l-r): Nomadic in Nude, New Bohemian, Shabby Drab, Red-Ical Gypsy
Back to Boho (l-r): Artsy Crafty, Blue-Topia, Rebel Spirit
Alter Ego (l-r): Get a Clue, Give Me a Hint, Secret Rendezvous
Untamed Luxury (l-r): Pretty in Platinum, Positively Posh, Soft as Cashmere
I'm certain that some of the other colors I got are also dupes, but I don't have their Color Club counterparts to be 100% sure. I will however be heading back to the store to return these Cosmetic Arts without even opening them. Once I return them, does that mean I can buy more nail polish? :D
I'm really curious to know what colors are actually Cosmetic Arts originals... it is really hard to tell from their promo photos... anyone have a clue?
Thanks for Looking!

I had not noticed this! I'm glad I havent bought any of the Cosmetic Arts lately.. & YES when you return them it means you can buy MORE!!! Its hard to tell on whats original colors on Cosmetic Arts... same as you I cant tell from the promo pics
ReplyDeleteI would certainly return those too-that is crazy-they should tell you these things!! And yes you can buy more polish!!
ReplyDeleteWhoah! That's weird :/
ReplyDeleteArt Club, Cosmetic Arts & Color Club are part of the same company - Forsythe. So I guess they reuse colors between their different polish lines?
ReplyDelete@Polish AMOR, I'm pretty sure they do have some original colors, I was just surprised at how many of them were repackaged. If you do buy any just compare to the CC that you have...
ReplyDelete@Fingers, I agree, they should. They should at least have a name or number on them...
@Kelly, I thought so too. It was a shock to me!
@lizzie, I knew they were the same parent company, but I never expected them to just repackage colors. I kind of think of it as Coty owns both Sally Hansen and now OPI, but you don't often see OPI polishes in a Sally Hansen bottle and vise versa... and same with L'Oreal that now owns Essie... oh well! Lesson learned :)
Офигеть! А ты не сильно расстраиваешься, когда столько клонов обнаруживается? Я давно уже поняла, что все друг у друга тащат идеи, и это печально
ReplyDeleteBilo nemnogo obidno, no ne sovsem neozhidano potomucho Color Club i Cosmetic Arts pod odnoi glavnoi kompanie. Poetomu ne sovsem rastroilas i ya sobiraus' zdat' vse Cosmetic Arts kloni obratno v magazin... nu i zaodno mozhet chtonibud' novoe naidu :)
