Summer 2017 Comparisons - Essie Fashion Faceoff (Gala Bolds)


Hey, why didn’t I include Hook and Line in my It’s A-Boat Time comparisons?



From left to right: Cords (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Hook and Line (Colours from the Capitol/Hunger Games, Spring 2012), It’s A-Boat Time (Spring Fling, Spring 2017), Gossip Over Gimlets (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Ainsley (Cozy in Love, February 2017), My Silk Tie (50 Shades of Grey, Spring 2015), Fashion Faceoff, Dorothy (Luminous Lights, Holiday 2016), Closing Night (Ballet Nudes, Spring 2017), Moon Rendezvous (Romantic Rapture, Spring 2013), On the Wild Side (Wild at Heart, Autumn 2009). Bottom: Seraphina (Zenith, Holiday 2013)

Fashion Faceoff’s closest living relative is My Silk Tie, but the finish of that one is a straight metallic while Fashion Faceoff has a shimmer/glitter to it.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze It's A-Boat Time! (Spring Fling)





From left to right: Cords (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Take a Right on Bourbon (New Orleans, Spring 2016), Monique (Lighten Up, March 2016), Spun Sugar (Parfumerie, Autumn 2013), It’s Totally Fort Worth It (Texas, Spring 2011), I’d Melt for You (Twinkle, Holiday 2014), It’s A-Boat Time, Centennial Celebration (Coca Cola Icons of Happiness, Summer 2015), Smoldering, Bad Moon Rising (Big Bang, Holiday 2013, full size a Nordstrom Exclusive, Spring 2015), Dorothy (Luminous Lights, Holiday 2016), Closing Night (Ballet Nudes, Spring 2017), On the Wild Side (Wild at Heart, Autumn 2009), Star Dust Memories, Rachael (Kisses, London, September 2015)

There’s a lot of green in It’s A-Boat Time that nothing else here has. I’d Melt for You is very much a true silver without any green. Fort Worth It is the closest in spirit, but it has a pink flash instead of green. It’s the pink version of A-Boat Time. Spun Sugar, Monique, and Bourbon are similarly warm but less green. Centennial Celebration is also very warm but it’s actually a silver and gold foil instead of a metallic.
