Misc. Comparisons - Essie Catch of the Day (Shimmer Brights)




From left to right: I Got a Blue Attitude (Lite Brites, Summer 2016), Blagger (Spring 2011), Gladys (Dark and Stormy Nights, October 2016), Catch of the Day, Aruba Blue (?), Loot the Booty (Viva Antigua, Summer 2016), Up All Night (Patent Leather in the City, Spring 2006), Sleeping Under the Stars (The Great Outdoors, Autumn 2015), Royal Navy (In the Navy, Summer 2010)

Blue Attitude is really more purple; purples are notoriously hard to photograph. It looks nothing like Catch of the Day in person; I just wanted to compare it because the shimmer is similar (namely, impossibly hard to see on the nail!). I thought Blagger would be a good match to the base but it’s a lot more vibrant and green. Royal Navy has a strong light blue shimmer, and while a lot of the awesome red/gold shimmer in Sleeping Under the Stars doesn’t show up the base color is nevertheless a lot darker. Loot the Booty is in the same boat but darker and the shimmer shows up a lot better. Aruba Blue and Gladys are pretty close to Catch of the Day, but Aruba Blue is a metallic while Catch of the Day and Gladys are crèmes with shimmer. Gladys and Catch of the Day are actually really close!
