The Body Shop Colour Crush Collection- update!

So this morning, I have tried both Peach Babe and Gorgeous Grey from the Colour Crush Collection and I have to say, I'm impressed!
Peach Babe is a very bright peach coral colour, almost neon and the formula is fantastic! 2 coats and it was totally opaque.

Gorgeous Grey is also a good formula but it took 3 coats to get the result you're seeing below. It's a beautiful colour though, the perfect grey for summer! If you like to be able to see nail through your nail polish, ie not opaque, you'll only need one or 2 layers of polish but I prefer opacity!

As I was so excited about this collection coming out, because it's 100% vegan (quoted on their website), not tested on animals and have a lot of toxins and paraphins removed which you mind find in other brands of nail polish, I decided to have a look in my collection and see if I had any dupes. I had 4! So if you're looking for a replacement to any coral/peachy colours, which are vegan and not tested on animals, I'd recommend Peach Babe by Colour Crush.
I've included a photo below with the dupes I had in my collection....
This includes Rose Libertine by Rimmel which is a shimmery pinky peach colour, a shimmery apricot/peach/coral colour by Seventeen, Instyle Coral by Rimmel and a peachy pink colour by Maxfactor. These were all pretty good matches for Peach Babe.

I also looked in my collection for any dupes for Gorgeous Grey and I only had one slight, almost match! This is called Latte by Maybelline. Gorgeous Grey is a beautiful and unique colour and the lighter of Colour Crushes 2 primary greys.
In terms of cost, I think these were reasonable- they were £5 each which is a fixed price and not an introductory offer and you get opaque coverage from both in a maximum of 3 coats. I will definitely be using this brand as my go to brand when I want a polish from now on.
