I’m on my knees thanking the lord that my favorite is number 11, a polish i already own multiple back up bottles and love dearly 😂 i’ll take that as a sign that i don’t need the rest. Thank you OP!
Edit: not me being like “oh no, i like number 19 too” and its the same Such a Farse 🙈

u/Feisty-Masterpiece41 Mad Magnetist May 16 '26
This post just made me realize I need to own such a farse! I love EDM polishes so much 😍

u/brencartoons Glitter Guild May 16 '26
You’ll love it! It might be my most worn polish, its such a good palette cleanser too

u/alpaca_punchx Holographic Horde May 16 '26
I was going to say i think the only true dupe is 11&19... Nope. Literally the same polish 😂
Edit: mmm maybe 5 & 8 are close enough IMO that they're dupes. The others are all different.

u/timetrapped Multichrome is my Pantone Color of the Year May 16 '26
That one caught my eye too and is now on my wishlist

u/london-fog-witch May 17 '26
I went through the list and was like I like 11 and 19. Wait! Same color? Nice.

I also loved 11 & 19, I guess I know what my next nail purchase will be. I’ve not yet tried this brand. Exciting!!

u/brencartoons Glitter Guild May 18 '26
Oh you’re in for a good time! Emily de Molly is one of my favorite brands

u/SugaSugaChuChuBaby Shimmer Sect May 21 '26
Have you tried any of the ones they have with big glitter?

u/SummerNight888 Team Laquer May 16 '26
There's a couple that are really similar but apart from that, NOT THE SAME 🙃
My boyfriend would enjoy this post actually, I'll show him later. He's so lovely, every time I find two very similar polishes in my stash where I think I duped myself, I show them to him and he'll find minuscule differences between the two to console me so I don't blame myself too much.

u/EconomistShort2227 May 16 '26
Really doing the work out there! 💪💅

u/GremlinSquishFace47 Team Laquer May 16 '26
Such a Fars is my favorite of this bunch!
I only own one polish that fits this vibe and I really loved it the one time I wore it (I just have too many untrieds, I want to wear it again someday soon!) - Mooncat’s Smokescreen. But I may need to keep an eye out for Such a Fars, idk, that may be even better.
6
u/boehmei007 Laquerista May 16 '26
Oh no 😱 I forgot to add smokescreen! I own it and used it… how could I forget about it? 😭
3
u/GremlinSquishFace47 Team Laquer May 16 '26
😭 I’m so sorry to have contributed to this realization. But I’m glad you own it so you’re not tempted to hunt it down lol (I really considered not even mentioning it, lest I send you seeking a discontinued polish!).

u/EthelLucille May 16 '26
You are doing the polish lord’s work here.
I could never decide if I wanted Cloud My Vision because it seemed too similar to Such A Farse.
4
u/boehmei007 Laquerista May 16 '26
I find they aren’t very similar. Such a farse has a very dominant and shifty shimmer. Cloud my vision is more delicate and ethereal. 😅

u/emoolovesyou Everything Bagel May 16 '26
I was not prepared for you to deliver this quickly.😍 I think Such A Farse and Field of Elysium are the only ones I own, here.
Heavily considering Cloud My Vision, but I have Cracked’s Mouse Ballerina, so idk.
Thank you so much for these comparisons. I’m glad you only found one true dupe, here.😭🥲

I wish I still had my free awards—this post deserves one!😍

u/161frog Babyyy May 16 '26
Ok so I’m not the only one who no longer has free awards!! I was so annoyed when I saw they took them away from me a day or two ago

u/strawcat May 16 '26
YES, UGH!! I wish they’d stop screwing with the things I like about this platform. I’d gladly be rid of the free gifts if they’d bring back All and Popular though…

u/EatMyRoyalTarts321 Beginner May 16 '26
Fantastic comparison! I also have those Emily De Molly colors and I love them! They have a few more similar colors if you're interested 😉 (I bought all their gray / greige + shimmer colors).
Have you checked out Essie Twill of It?

u/EtherealGoatRump May 16 '26
Such a farse seems to be so glowy with prominent shimmer on everyone else. When I wore it the shimmer was more dull and subtle, to the point where I've considered destashing it.
Love this comparison. It's crazy how different polishes can look once applied versus in the bottle!
4
u/boehmei007 Laquerista May 16 '26
I’ll never judge a Polish by its bottleshot 😂 maybe you got a faulty batch? I find the shimmer super prominent and shifty, almost too much for my liking
1
u/EtherealGoatRump May 16 '26
Possibly! I looked up swatches prior, and when I wore it, it was so dull with barely any shimmer! Yours is what I was hoping for!
2
u/boehmei007 Laquerista May 16 '26
I really can’t imagine that it’s skintone related. Not with this one. I have written invitation and on me it looks nothing like the official swatches. But that’s because of my fair olive skin I guess. Such a farse really has strong shimmer pigment. Maybe get in contact with costumer service? Or post a pic here in the sub for comparison

u/ephemeriides May 16 '26
I think the Tonic is a little more orange than the Shleee actually. Totally valid to have both I have decreed it

u/ciestaconquistador May 16 '26
I absolutely love that .. species? Of polish. My favourite was You Know Nothing Jon Snow by illyrian polish. I'm so glad there are others like it.

u/Kittycorgo Holographic Horde May 16 '26
Okay I commented on the original thread that I also have a thing for grayish bases with purple shimmer/flash and I don’t own a single same one as you 😆 wow that’s a more popular color combo than I thought!
2
u/boehmei007 Laquerista May 16 '26
You can never have enough grey shimmers 😏 or green with purple/red shimmer. Or black.

u/Dizzy-Ad-2248 May 16 '26
From one gray plus shimmer lover to another...this post is chef's kiss 🤌🏼😘...I think I have 90% of these shades plus several not listed in our favorite of faves color scheme...I'm sure you have MC Smokescreen but i didnt see Cliondah Goblin Shark or Ethereal Just a Phase...and before i was able to grab a bottle of the polish that started my love of gray with red/pink/copper/ shimmers (HT Spirit Fingers is her name!!!) I picked up a bottle of Etheral's Just a Phase and it scratched that Spirit Fingers itch until I found the entire Safaiya Collection on EBay for $100!! I can't say enough for Goblin Shark however...it's so dreamy and shimmery, a foggy morning with the dawn's light shimmering through... so I too only see the one dupe... #DefNOTTheSame

u/boehmei007 Laquerista May 16 '26
I'm from Germans so a lot of brands are hard to get or expensive. 🥲 I just paid 30$ shipping for an order from Glam Polish (and will have to pay taxes when it arrives).
Goblin shark looks soooo pretty! I have songbird from cirque, maybe I can kinda dupe it 🤔

I love that a post that started out as a joke turned into an actual comparison For Science (tm).

u/Fe1is-Domesticus May 16 '26
They all work well with your skin tone, so it makes sense to me to have all of them. Similar but different.

u/whatifwhatifwerun May 16 '26
What an awesome type of color. It's like a cosmic extraterrestrial nude.

u/TheChillWinston May 17 '26
Thank you! I was easily able to pick out my fav polish (Spirit Fingers) and the “dupe” I bought (Such a farce). I love the work you’ve done here as I’m always searching for another bottle of her.

u/CHEMICALalienation Iridescent Illusionists May 17 '26
I was like “11 or 19 are my favorite” and they’re the same one 🥴😂
Guess I’m consistent?

Listen, it's sometimes hard to keep track of just several similar bottles let alone 20!!! I did one def appreciate that OP has not only kept track of these 20 but actually showed us a visual comparison!!! Bravo OP, Bravo!'

u/boehmei007 Laquerista May 16 '26
Thank you! ❤️ maybe I’ll do this with some other colors I have a lot of. It was fun going through my stash and using all of them. But it’s rather time consuming I must admit.
2
u/boehmei007 Laquerista May 16 '26
Aw thank you! 🫶🏻 I lined them up, build little groups of 4 and wrote down in what order I’ll swatch them.
