Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Essie As If (As If) - Part 2

From left to right: Bevin (True, Spring 2012), Udon Know Me (Kimono Over, Autumn 2016), Lillian (Delight, Spring 2015), Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Kristen (Feel, Winter 2011), Matilda (Midsummer Light, June 2016), As If, Secret Peri-Wink-le (Operation: Colour, Autumn 2008), Jo (Twist, Spring 2009), Smooth Sailing (Braziliant, Summer 2011), Avenue Maintain (Madison Ave-Hue, Spring 2013)

As If calls to mind the classic China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le, actually they’re almost head on. As If is more purple and dustier but you don’t need both. Matilda is also similar but it’s noticeably brighter. Bevin, Udon Know Me, and Lillian are way too green, and Virgin Snow and Kristen are too light, and Avenue Maintain is too dark and bright. Jo and Smooth Sailing are of a similar base color but they have a very noticeable shimmer to them.
