Julep Lineup - Cher, Cheryl, Cheyenne, Christa

• Cher (Emerald for May, May 2015) is a beautiful green sparkler. It’s a little sheer, I’d use three coats, but it’s worth every coat. The glitter has a pink shift to it that makes it really unique.
• Cheryl (Boho Glam - Very Merry, Holiday 2015) is a gold metallic. Pretty standard but nice.
• Cheyenne (Bombshell - Switch Up, November 2015) is a beautiful and super special brown matte metallic. It’s the most perfect fall polish I’ve ever seen.
• Christa (Bombshell - Holo Nights, July 2015) is a spectacular lavender holo with purple glitter in it. This is a lot like Brandy where the purple glitter shows up best when the holo is dim.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Essie Gel Couture Jade to Measure (Gel Couture Holiday 2017) - Part 2

From left to right: Agro (Hunger Games, Spring 2012), My Gecko Does Tricks (Hawaii, Spring 2015), Rikki (Irresistible, Summer 2013), Gemini (Zodiac, June 2016), I’ll Take Manhattan (New York Marquee, Autumn 2014), Jade to Measure, All Hands on Deck (Shimmer Brights, Summer 2016), Giovanna (Satins, Autumn 2013), Cher (Emerald for May, May 2015), Running in Circles (Cirque Du Soleil, Holiday 2012), Priscilla (Emerald for May, May 2014), If I Ruled the World (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016), Mercer (Sparkling Sights, Holiday 2016), Laughin to the Bank (Jewel Heist, Autumn 2013), Cuckoo for this Color (Swiss, Autumn 2010), Emerald Fitzgerald (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010)

Nothing really is that close to Jade to Measure – it’s darker and less chrome-y than I’ll Take Manhattan, darker than All Hands on Deck and warmer than Giovanna.

Comparison with Jade in Manhattan (Oil Slick, Summer 2016) – I thought these were closer. I was wrong.

Misc. Comparisons - Essie All Hands on Deck (Shimmer Brights)

In the future I might make a better comparison shot for the four China Glaze green sparklies, Running in Circles, Watermelon Rind, Emerald Sparkle, and Glittering Garland!

From left to right: Irene (Utopia, Holiday 2007), Viva Antigua! (Viva Antigua, Summer 2016), Custom Kicks (Kicks, Summer 2009), Ivanka (Sparkle, Summer 2010), Cher (Emerald for May, Birthstone May 2015), All Hands on Deck, Standing Ovation (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), Selene (Paradise Sun, Summer 2015), Running in Circles (Cirque Du Soleil, Holiday 2012), Watermelon Rind (Summer Days, Summer 2009), Emerald Sparkle (Sleigh Ride, Holiday 2008), Glittering Garland (Let it Snow, Holiday 2011)

Yeah… I have nothing like All Hands on Deck… like, at all.
