EdM Fiery Attraction vs. BKL Pomegranate Seeds – glass bead

EdM on the left, BKL on the right.

While these fall into the same category, I definitely wouldn’t call PS a dupe for FA. While FA has the smooth, fine magnetics, PS is very sparkly. Its hard to photograph, but IRL the jelly base of PS is a lot cooler/pinkish-red than the jelly base of FA, which reads red-brown. But the magnetics in PS are lighter and brighter, which makes it read warmer than FA as worn.

My thinking: given their other fine magnetics, BKL likely *could* have duped FA, but they endeavored to create something different instead. If you love red magnetics and want some variety, they read different enough IRL that IMO it wouldn’t be wasteful to have both.

For me, comparing them just made me want to do another Fiery Attraction mani.
