Holiday 2017 Comparisons - OPI Gift of Gold Never Gets Old (Love OPI XOXO) - Part 2

From left to right: Brooklyn (Awaken, Spring 2014), Front Page (Infamous, Holiday 2015), Comet Closer (Starlight, Holiday 2015), Gift of Gold Never Gets Old, Autumn in New York (New York Marquee, Autumn 2014), Getting Groovy (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Cheryl (Very Merry, Holiday 2015), 50 Years of Style (Mustang, Summer 2014), Passion (Romantiques, Spring 2009), Cosmo-Not Tonight Honey! (Russian, Autumn 2007), OPI with a Nice Finnish (Nordic, Autumn 2014)

The closest in color to Gift of Gold is Comet Closer which is a bit cooler and darker but most notably it’s got a lot of gold glitter in it. Closest metallic is Autumn in New York, which is a bit more of a true gold.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Truth is Gold (Street Regal)

From left to right: Press * For Silver (Starlight, Holiday 2015), Getting Groovy (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), High Standards (Summer Reign, Summer 2017), Passion (Romantiques, Spring 2009), Best Ponies Forever (My Little Pony, Summer 2017), 50 Years of Style (Mustang, Summer 2014), Truth is Gold, Jingle Bells (Tis the Season to be Naughty or Nice, Holiday 2010), Austine (Utopia, Holiday 2007)

Third gold in a row from CG! This one’s the most rich and bronzeish of the three but you don’t need all three, my vote would be for Best Ponies Forever. Truth is Gold’s real closest cousin is a much older China Glaze, Jingle Bells, although Jingle Bells has a thinner formula.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze High Standards & Best Ponies Forever (Summer Reign & My Little Pony)

I’m going to start off my China Glaze section of my Summer 2017 comparisons with one polish from both collections! That are… eerily close.

From left to right: Front Page (Infamous, Holiday 2015), Brooklyn (Awaken, Spring 2014), Rollin’ in Cashmere (Gwen Stefani Holiday, Holiday 2014), Getting Groovy (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), High Standards, Best Ponies Forever, Passion (Romantiques, Spring 2009), 50 Years of Style (Mustang, Summer 2014), Jingle Bells (Tis the Season to be Naughty or Nice, Holiday 2010), Austine (Utopia, Holiday 2007)

Yeah, High Standards and Best Ponies Forever are really, really close, so is Passion but that’s a really old one they haven’t made in a good long while so I wouldn’t fault China Glaze for completely forgetting about it. Passion has more metallic pigment and is more chrome-y, and is darker though. And to be fair, High Standards is a little more brushstrokey on the nail, and it’s a little lighter, but you don’t need them both and you don’t need either if you have Passion stashed away in your collection. The only other thing in this line that’s pretty close is 50 Years of Style, which is lighter, warmer, and brighter but on the same boat. The stuff on the left is lighter and brighter and Jingle Bells and Austine are too bronzy.
