Julep Lineup - Ciara, Claudia, Danica, Danielle

• Ciara (It Girl - Rebel Set, October 2013) is a cool purple with blue shimmer. The shimmer’s not quite as amazingly sparkly as it was promised by the bottle but it’s still quite nice.
• Claudia (Peridot for August, August 2014) is a cool and complex topper (although I don’t think it’ll get opaque on its own). It’s light green with gold shimmer and a few red flecks. Over white this is a stunner!
• Danica (Boho Glam - Paradise, April 2015) is a purple metallic with a pink shimmer. It’s a bit sheer on the first coat but it builds nicely.
• Danielle (It Girl - Paradise, April 2015) is a blue metallic with a slight duochrome to purple. It’s nice, I don’t have too much to say on it.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Blake (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Eunice (Into the Deep, July 2016), Bell Bottom Blues (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015), High on Hope (Hope and Freedom Fest, Spring 2013), Up All Night (Patent Leather in the City, Spring 2006), First Class Ticket (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010), Light My Sapphire (Night Brights, Summer 2007), Russian Navy (Russia, Autumn 2007), Ciara (Rebel Set, October 2013), Queen of the Night (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016), Blake, Sansa (Ignite, Autumn 2014), Michaela (New York Never Sleeps, October 2015), Live and Let Die (Skyfall, Holiday 2012), Madelynn (Muse Montreal, August 2015)

Nothing here matches Blake’s inky base with gold shimmer. Sansa has a purple base and has stronger and more opaque glitter. Queen of the Night is also close but again it’s purple and has orange glitter. Michaela has green glitter and Ciara has blue.

China Glaze Rebel Comparisons - Teen Spirit

From left to right: Taboo (Revelation, Spring 2013), First Class Ticket (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010), Maggie (November 2011), Showtime (Colorstay Gel Envy), Teen Spirit, Cosmo with a Twist (Starlight, Holiday 2015), Ciara (Rebel Set, October 2013), Groove Thang (Dance to the Musique, Autumn 2008), Fowl Play (Birds of a Feather, Autumn 2011). Swatch stick, Orly Epix Subtitled (Epix Core line)

Taboo is way too warm, unfortunately, and has orange-red shimmer. Fowl Play is chock full of orange flakies, and Groove Thang has a strong green duochrome. Everything else is pretty close. First Class Ticket is more blue and less purple, and also less shimmery. Ciara in contrast is less purple and more blue. Maggie has silver glitter instead of purple or blue, but the base color is very similar. Subtitled is warmer toned, but the glitter is close. The middle three are all incredibly similar. Showtime, Teen Spirit, and Cosmo with a Twist are all almost exactly the same, just Showtime’s glitter is a bit more irregularly shaped. You don’t need all three.
