Julep Lineup - Brenda, Camille, Cancer, Candace

• Brenda (CWAT - Naughty or Nice, December 2013) is a sheer white/gold duochrome topper. This is a really versatile topper and looks good over anything!
• Camille (CWAT - Spring Mystery Box, March 2013) is an iridescent topper. This is a bit like Aretha but it’s in a clear base and a lot less blue. This also looks good over anything!
• Cancer (Zodiac, July 2016) is a pretty pink seashell. Fair warning that this one is really bubbly, but it is pretty!
• Candace (It Girl - Cityscape, September 2013) is a polish I really wish they still made. This is so awesome and fall. It’s a brown base with gold shimmer. Makes me think a little of Lippmann’s All Night Long.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - OPI The Color that Keeps on Giving (Love OPI XOXO) - Part 2

From left to right: Laurel (Petals, Spring 2016), Rainbow (China Rain, Summer 2001), Chantilly Lace (Whisper, Spring 2015), Wanderlust (Road Trip, Spring 2015), Libra (Zodiac, October 2016), Seashell (Core), Temptation Carnation (Bali Bliss), Bikini with a Martini (here from Retro Revival, Winter 2016), Cancer (Zodiac, July 2016), The Color that Keeps on Giving, Pussy Galore (Bond Girls, Summer 2013), Oh Behave! (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Geena (Rose Quartz for January 2015), Good Witch? (Wizard of Ooh Ahz Returns, Winter 2009), Jetstream (Core), Hayden (Smitten, Summer 2007), Pink Lemonade (Core)

The first polish I thought of when I saw The Color that Keeps on Giving was actually the Liquid Sand Pussy Galore, which is actually really close except for the textured finish. Closest in finish is Oh Behave, which is a bit darker. Cancer is closer in color but different in finish.

Holiday 2016 Comparisons - Essie Oh Behave! (Getting Groovy)

Note: I have a really close comparison for this in the Spring 2017 comparisons, stay tuned for that.

From left to right: Erika (Chit-Chat, Summer 2008), Chantilly Peach (Core Collection), Cancer (Zodiac, July 2016), Cozu-Melted in the Sun (Mexico, Spring 2006), Tinsley (Irresistible, Summer 2013), Awakening (Pure Platinum, 2000)

Awakening is way darker and more purple, but I thought it was worth comparing. They’re made with the same idea in mind. Tinsley is very much a foil, the gold particles are the most distinct in Tinsley; also it’s darker pink. Erika is not as white in person, but it is lighter and the shimmer is more distinctly gold while Oh Behave is more duochrome-y. Chantilly Peach is a similar base, but it’s just a frost and doesn’t have any real shimmer like Oh Behave. Cancer is a little lighter and a little blingier. Cozu-Melted is by far the closest thing here, but it’s a little darker and the shimmer is silverier.
