Hey guys, I have actual nail polish pics for you today! 
I seem to gravitate towards reds and vampies these days, so Orly Star Spangled is right up my alley. It has red glitter in a red jelly base. Sounds familiar, you say? Exactly, it’s a dupe for China Glaze Ruby Pumps, as far as I’m concerned. The only difference, if I have to nitpick, is that the glitter in Star Spangled is finer and not as irregular as Ruby Pumps’. If any of you fellow non-Americans have trouble getting China Glaze, this one is a more than adequate replacement for Ruby Pumps.
Application is flawless, I used three coats to get a really deep and sparkly color. It dries a little matte and bumpy on it’s own, so use a topcoat if you want a lot of shine and smoothness.
Take a look!
Here it is in sunlight and shade:
So what do you think of Orly’s version of the red glitter polish? Good enough to eat or just meh?
Thanks for stopping by, have a nice day! 
I love all those red based polishes with gold glitter, I think I’ll never get enough of them. I just got Smitten with Mittens from OPI holiday ‘09 …guess I’m crazy!
The glitter in that one looks really fine and elegant, not in-your-face glitter and the color is so yummy! Like redcurrant jam ^_^
BTW I’m having a small giveaway on my blog, please feel free to come have a look and enter if you’re interested
Yes, I think Ruby Pumps has to be my favorite polish ever! And this is a great dupe.
There is surely no such thing as enough red with red glitter nail polish!
My favourite so far is OPI’s Dear Santa. When I wear this I can’t stop staring at my nails.
That is true! I like Ruby Pumps best, because I prefer the China Glaze brushes.
That doesn’t really look like a dupe of Ruby Pumps to me, unless your camera didn’t capture the color correctly. Ruby Pumps is such a deeper red with tons of red glitter baked into the jelly base. This one looks more candy apple to me.
I’m sure it’s just the camera then, because the next day I removed Star Spangled from my index and middle finger and put on Ruby Pumps just to see if I could spot any differences, and I couldn’t tell them apart even if I knew which were which.
I never got around to taking pics of them together, I have to do that some time.
I remember seeing them swatched next to eachother somewhere, but I can’t find it on google.
Oh how interesting! I really do love Ruby Pumps — one of my faves! I think it’s interesting that it would look so different in these pictures.
