Essie Bridal Comparisons - Blush-Worthy


I wish I got Julep Tasha last holiday, I think that would be really close to Blush-Worthy, instead I have her darker sister Sylvie instead. Just imagine Sylvie more of a melon color and you have Tasha, which I think would be reasonably close.



From left to right: Just Stitched (Cashmere Mattes, Spring 2015), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016), Lara (Spring to It, March 2017), Girly (Core), Erika (Chit-Chat, Summer 2008), Blush-Worthy, Princesses Rule! (Princess Charming, Spring 2006), Oh Behave (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Good Witch? (Wizard of Ooh Ahz Returns, Holiday 2009), Chloe (Fleck Effect, Spring 2012), Sylvie (Gem Collection Holiday 2015), Harper (Bubbly, Summer 2014)

Erika is pretty close, it’s sheerer though and lacks Blush-Worthy’s larger flakies. I think if you mixed some of Chloe into Erika you’d have Blush-Worthy. Princesses Rule is in the same family but it’s not the same shade of pink and it’s sheerer.

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.
