Shine of the times vs Luxe and lush

Not all flaky nail polishes are the same some have big flakes that are more spread out and some have smaller flakes that are clumped together. I only have two flaky polishes and they are two of the most popular ones Essie Shine of the times and China Glaze Luxe and lush. But I wanted to know just how different these two really were so I painted my nails black and put a coat of luxe and lush on (since it was new to my collection) I already had and older picture of me wearing shine of the times over black. 

So lets see the pictures:

Here is essie as you can see it has smaller pieces and more of them:

Here is the china glaze it has bigger pieces and less of them:

Here they are side by side in natural light:

  On the nails:

So I really love them both to be honest. Shine of the times is great for all over flaky goodness and I like Luxe and lush for just a little flaky goodness, plus if I wanted to I could do some kind of nail art over the china glaze. 

Well that is all for now. What do you all think? Which one is your favorite?

Talk to you all later,
