OPI Rainbow Connection dupe?

When I bought my OPI Mad As A Hatter dupe, this one popped up in the suggestions box so I went ahead and bought it. I'll be honest, I wasn't overly keen on O.P.I Rainbow Connection to start with but this one has changed my mind. It didn't say which brand it was, but now it's arrived I know that's it Technic. You can get Technic in Bodycare, so if you were wanting to buy this polish then that would be the place to go. You can have a look at a swatch of Rainbow Connection HERE.

So, what's the polish like I hear you ask me?!?


This was about 5 coats, but it dried quite quickly so it wasn't too bad. However, if you were to use this on every finger then you would empty the bottle quite quickly.

The only gripe I have with this polish is the brush, it's just flipping awful. It's not straight and it looks like some scissors have been taken to it!

So yeah, rather pleased with this dupe and considering it's only about £1.50 then it's brilliant value. It's not exactly the same as Rainbow Connection but it's still similar. It's my birthday on Sunday so it will make the perfect birthday polish! It looks like my nails are having a party!

If you don't have a bodycare near you, I got mine from HERE

Lots of love
Amy

  6. That does look lovely and at that price worth it. I'm sure I have a few old polishes that could be used to replace the brush too

  8. Aww, I did an exact same blog on this dupe a couple of weeks ago :-) Although my brush isn't as bad as yours... hate it when you get an uneven brush!

  9. It's such an amazing dupe!!
    Although Rainbow Connection needs less coats than that one, which is to be expected i think!

  11. Ooh, the polish is really pretty, perfect for birthday nails! Bad brushes really annoy me, too, but I guess it's worth the concession for the price! xx

  13. This looks amazing, just a shame it takes so many coats to make it look like this. Def worth the £1.50 though!

  16. Leanne: I know, but you can't expect more than that for such a cheap price:(

    Adrienne: Oh, it must have been fate then! Yes, I've just tweeted you about that! :)

    Sarah: Never mind, at least it wasn't expected! Ooooh what's wrong with their lids?!

    Rebecca: Well at least it's a gift :) OPI will be a lot better, but this one s just nice if you aren't overly bothered about it!

    Charlotte: This brush must have been a one off because I got another polish from the same brand today and it's just normal :)

    Stitchinwitch: Yep, it's totally worth it! :)

    CherrySue: Thanks so much!

    Kate: Yes, it must have been a dud brush because I got another polish today from the same brand and it's fine :)

    Angie: Yeah I think it will! But it's still nice to have for such a cheap price!

    Lucinda: I know, it's a pain! Never mind :)

    Francesca: It is! :) and I know, you can't expect any more that that really!

    Blog-a-beaute- Me too, it's so pretty though isn't it!

    Sophie: I know, I think it would be better if another polish was underneath it!

    Carly: I know it's such a pain! Never mind, it's worth it isn't it :)

    Charlotte Elizabeth: Ooooh lucky you! You could get both, it wouldn't do you any harm :)

    Thank you all so much for the comments!xxx

  19. Great find! I have Rainbow Connection and it sucks that you have to layer so many coats for the "total" effect, but I like to layer 2 coats over a black nail polish (:

  20. I have this nail polish, you can read my posts on the technique stuff too. Have you seen their nail art range, where you get a set of three colors? I really like your blog too, have just started reading it (new follower) great stuff! haha how cheesy ;) x xx

  21. I like the Rainbow Connection but I prefer the OPI shatter range. The only advice I can give when using the shatter range is not to overload the brush too much and make smooth strokes.
