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 Accent Piece (Street Regal)

From left to right: Brooklyn (Awaken, Spring 2014), Daisy (Delight, Spring 2015), Sunny (Vivid, April 2014), Melodious Utopia (Hope & Freedom Fest, Spring 2013), Solar Power (Ecollection, Spring 2008), Aim to Misbehave (Shimmer Brights, Summer 2016), Sun’s Up Top Down (Road Trip, Spring 2015), Rollin’ in Cashmere (Gwen Stefani Holiday, Holiday 2014), Star Studded (Gala Bolds, Summer 2017), Accent Piece, Far Out (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Saaya (Fresh Twist, May 2014)

Accent Piece is the lighter cousin of the oldie but goodie Far Out, and the fall version of Saaya. It also makes me think of a darker version of Solar Power too.

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.
