Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Cheek to Cheek (Crystal Prism) - Part 2




From left to right: Sugar, Sugar (Sweets for My Sweet, Spring 2016), Shay (Touch, Winter 2012), Tiramisu for Two (Venice, Autumn 2015), Cheek to Cheek, Rue (Naturel, Spring 2014), Phyllis (Chrysalis, January 2015), Spencer (Naturel Deux, Autumn 2014), You've Got a Friend (I've Gotta Be Me, Holiday 2014), Girly, Suzi Sells Sushi by the Seashore (Japan, Spring 2005)

Tiramisu for Two and Rue are closest to Cheek to Cheek, but they both lack the subtle shimmer. Shay’s shimmer is different and it’s more peachy.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Space Unicorn (Shining Star Ornament) - Part 2




From left to right: Pure Pearlfection (Luxeffects, Holiday 2011), Leona (Diamond for April, April 2015), Rainbow (China Rain, Summer 2001), Leia (Petals, Spring 2016), Space Unicorn, Rent (Holiday on Broadway, Holiday 2003), Libra (Zodiac, October 2016), Brenda (Naughty or Nice Mystery Box, December 2013), Kathy (Pearl for June, June 2014), La Vie En Rose (Spring Reveries, Spring 2014), Girly (Core), Thoroughly Modern Millie & Mamma Mia (Holiday on Broadway, Holiday 2003), Twinkle, Twinkle Little Starfish (Seas and Greetings, Holiday 2016), Melody (Switch Up, November 2015)

Nothing here is exactly like Space Unicorn since nothing here has the blue shimmer. Leona is closest with because it has a little blue shimmer, but it’s more opaque. Leia has a similar finish but it’s all white and pink.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Zoya McKenna (Sophisticates) - Part 1



From left to right: Christinna (?), Sweet Souffle (S’il Vous Play, Summer 2017), Ainsley (Cozy in Love, February 2017), Erin (Spa Essentials), Mckenna, Shay (Touch, Winter 2011), Girly (Core)

McKenna seems like the long lost fourth Touch polish, of which I only have Shay. Shay is noticeably peachier, but I imagine Minka from the same set would be pretty close. Erin’s of the same family but the shimmer is different. The three on the left are too light and Girly is too sparkly.

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.

Spring 2017 Comarisons - China Glaze Moment in the Sunset (Spring Fling)




From left to right: Girly (Core), Oh Behave! (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Moment in the Sunset, Lily (Romantic Collection), Bikini with a Martini (here from Retro Revival, Winter 2016), Summer (Endless Summer, August 2016), Tinsley (Irresistible, Summer 2013)

Summer is way orange and Tinsley is A) a foil B) darker and C) more gold. Girly is too light to really compare. Although I originally thought Moment in the Sunset and Oh Behave were dead on dupes, Moment is much more pink while Oh Behave is peachy. Oldie but goodie Lily is a similar shade of pink but it has green shimmer running through it instead of gold. Bikini is likewise a similar shade of pink but lacking the gold as well.
