Holiday 2016 Comparisons - China Glaze Joy to the Waves (Seas and Greetings)


Blue with gold/green shimmer is a really unique combo, but I still have a couple of comparisons.


Joy to the Waves and Saint

I really wish I had Olivera, because I think Joy to the Waves is kind of a cross between Olivera and Saint. Because these two came out in the same season I gave them a special comparison. They’re both really cool blue duochromes, but Joy to the Waves is way darker and blue to green to gold, while Saint is way lighter and blue to pink to green. Definitely not dupes!



From left to right: Indigo to the Gallery (Slick Oilpaint, Summer 2016), Miss Piggy’s Big Number (Muppets Most Wanted, Spring 2014), Come Rain Or Shine (House of Colour, Spring 2016), Joy to the Waves, This Color’s Making Waves (Hawaii, Spring 2015), Teal the Cows Come Home (Brighter by the Dozen, Summer 2006), Beauty & the Beach (Fiji Fling, Summer 2006). Also cameo by Lippmann Harlem Nocturne (way too silvery by the way) and Saint!

Indigo to the Gallery is a true chrome with a lot of silver in it, not gold. Miss Piggy’s Big Number is a classic blue shimmer that is a lot more purple. Come Rain or Shine is something of a sister polish, just A) pink instead of gold and B) much less shimmery. They’re different but if you like one you’ll like the other. This Color’s Making Waves is probably the closest I have, being my only other blue/green duochrome, but Making Waves is way more teal and has little orange glitter in it (trust me). Teal the Cows Come Home is way lighter, and silvery. Beauty & the Beach is green by comparison and not even kind of gold, but this is another one where if you like one you’ll like the other.
