Deborah Lippmann Red Ruby Slippers and Spoiled Ants in My Pants Comparison

Hello Ladies,

Today I’m comparing DL Red Ruby Slippers and the cheaper alternative Spoiled Ants in My Pants. The polishes don’t look as similar in the bottles as they look on the nails. 

I usually don’t use any base color for Red Ruby Slippers, but Ants in my pants jelly base is so sheer, that I used black base to compare both polishes.

As you can see from the pictures, the polishes are strikingly similar. Spoiled Ants in My Pants is definitely a very close dupe for DL Red Ruby Slippers. There’re couple of differences:

- Ants in My Pants has fewer small red glitter particles;
- Red Ruby Slipper’s formula is much better. Spoiled glitter is runny and the brush is gigantic!

If you don’t want to spend money to get DL, Spoiled is a good alternative. Be prepared to sacrifice quality and ease of application though.
