Julep Lineup - Demi, Devon, Dominique, Dora

• Demi (Bombshell - December 2011) is a red creme. I can’t say I recommend this one, it’s a little patchy and not the best formula for a not too unique color.
• Devon (CWAT - Friendsgiving, November 2014) is a fun gray with pink shimmer. I’m not crazy about gray nail polish but this one is really something special.
• Dominique (Boho Glam - Endless Summer, August 2016) is a really interesting green with holo glitter. Its closest living relative is Zoya Merida, which is a lot less blue toned and darker.
• Dora (Bombshell - Stroke of Midnight, December 2016) is a pretty pink metallic. There’s some pretty blue glitter in the bottle that doesn’t really show up on the nail though.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Ming & Sheri (Party Girls) - Part 1

From left to right: Dita (La-Di-Da, Summer 2009), Living Legend (Gala Bolds, Summer 2017), Queen of Speed (Fast Lane), Fran (Bask in the Heat, June 2017), Little Red Corvette (Lady in Red, Autumn 2017), Ming, Better Off Red (Lady in Red, Autumn 2017), Man of the Moment, Sheri, Lady is a Tramp (Core), Just Bitten (Velvet Dream, Autumn 2017), Demi (December 2011)

Dita is too cool, Living Legend, Queen of Speed, and Fran are too light and bright, and Just Bitten and Demi are too dark to even come close. The closest thing I have to each here is Little Red Corvette to Ming and Man of the Moment to Sheri.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - OPI Adam Said It's New Years, Eve and My Wish List Is You (Love OPI XOXO) - Part 1

From left to right: Lee (Set Sail, May 2015), Living Legend (Gala Bolds, Summer 2017), My Wish List is You, Little Red Corvette (Lady in Red, Autumn 2017), Queen of Speed (Fast Lane), Fran (Bask in the Sun, June 2017), Adam Said “It’s New Years, Eve”, Better Off Red (Lady in Red, Autumn 2017), Man of the Moment, Lady is a Tramp (Core), Just Bitten (Velvet Dream, Autumn 2017), Demi (December 2011)

My Wish List is You and Adam Said are more different than Ming and Sheri. My Wish List is You is actually rather close to Living Legend, and to a lesser extent Lee and Little Red Corvette. Adam Said is really close to Better Off Red.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Rock N Royale (Street Regal)

From left to right: China Rouge (X Anniversary, Autumn 2007), Party on a Platform (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Rosemary (Spring to It, March 2017), Rock n Royale, We the Female (Washington DC, Autumn 2016), Rekha (Designer, Autumn 2012), Demi (December 2011), Courtney (Urban Grunge, Autumn 2016), Sasha (Classics), Can’t Read without My Lipstick (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016), Cassandra (Kisses, London, September 2015), Jean (Dark and Stormy Nights, October 2016), Dakota (Vibe, Autumn 2008)

Rock n Royale is a really unique red, I have nothing quite like it. It’s very bricky, unlike everything to the right. We the Female is the closest but it’s cooler. If you mixed a bit of Rosemary in We the Female you’d have Rock n Royale.

Oops! Forgot With the Band. It’s in the same boat but lighter and a little cooler.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Orly Just Bitten (Velvet Dream)

From left to right: Asia (Vibe, Autumn 2008), Big Apple Red (New York, Autumn 2000), Red Satin (Holiday Joy, Holiday 2012), China Rouge (X Anniversary, Autumn 2007), Man of the Moment, Party on a Platform (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Rekha (Designer, Autumn 2012), Just Bitten, Demi (December 2011), Jean (Dark and Stormy Nights, October 2016), Ravishing Dahling (Visions of Grandeur, Autumn 2005)

I actually don’t have anything exactly like Just Bitten because of its slightly jellyish finish. Demi is closest in color but it’s more opaque. Rekha is lighter.

Oops! Forgot Courtney (Urban Grunge, Autumn 2016). It’s close but darker.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Red Blooded Woman (Lady in Red)

From left to right: We the Female (Washington DC, Autumn 2016), Demi (December 2011), Can’t Read without my Lipstick (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016), Courtney (Urban Grunge, Autumn 2016), Sasha (Classics), Red Blooded Woman, Dakota (Vibe, Autumn 2008), Claire (Entice, Autumn 2014), Ravishing, Dahling (Visions of Grandeur, Autumn 2005), Visions of Love (Mariah Carey Christmas, Holiday 2013). Swatch stick: China Glaze Free Bear Hugs (The Great Outdoors, Autumn 2015)

Dark red!
