Comparison: Gothic Gala Lacquers S.F. Take 2 vs. the original Something's F*cky

Press sample

Hiiii girls! I have my first comparison post for you guys! I received Gothic Gala Lacquers S.F. Take 2 for review (along with the Burlesque Girls collection and the Rave collection) which is a remake of the original Something's F*cky. Since I've had the original in my collection for a while, I figured this would be fun to compare the two, see how they stack up! Click to read my thoughts!

First, let's take a look at S.F. Take 2 on its own, shall we? It's a beautiful deep mossy green polish that has a somewhat teal hue to it. The holo is strong in this one, yes!

Application is smoooooth like a baby's bottom, and it dries like the wind. Whoosh! It's so shiny and it dries rock hard. And also, because the coverage is ah-some! I chose to do thin coats so I applied two for these photos, but one thicker coat would definitely be enough! I must admit I'm guilty of grabbing any of my Gothic Gala Lacquers holos when I'm in a hurry, for exactly these reasons. They don't need a top coat on top and I'm done in a jiffy. Yes, I said it. Jiffy.

Especially in sunlight, the holo flares up beautifully! You can also see the deep green tint more in bright lights, I think this is beautiful and I've always been a big fan of dark green on my nails. It looks awesome with my skin tone!

But how do the two versions compare?

Let's see! In this photo, I have applied the original Something's F*cky to my index and ring finger nails. S.F. Take 2 is on my middle finger and pinkie nails.

S.F. Take 2 is described as a blackened version of the original. I'm not sure if that is the right description... hmm... I would say that S.F. takes a big step towards green, while the original Something's F*cky leans more towards blue, thus being more of a teal color compared to S.F. Take 2.

Furthermore, the holo is noticeably stronger in S.F. Take 2. If you would just take a second to click on the picture of your left, to see it fullscreen, you can actually SEE the holo pigment being more concentrated in S.F. Take 2 on the right half, than in Something's F*cky on the left half.

My opinion! Yay, that's what you came here for, isn't it? No? Aww... well I'm gonna give it to you anyways. I think both of these polishes are awesome and well deserving of A-status. Do you need them both? Hmm... If you're into high quality, fast drying, smooth applying, brilliantly shining, awesomely opaque, beautifully colored polish... then I say go for it! They're definitely different enough to make me notice the difference as soon as I unpacked my new bottle. Something's F*cky isn't available anymore, but S.F. certainly is, so make sure to check out the Gothic Gala Lacquers Etsy website.
