Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Blake (Party Girls) - Part 1







From left to right: Venus Was Her Name, Paula (Countdown, December 2014), Turn on the Northern Lights (Iceland, Autumn 2017), Dressed to the Nineties (As If, Autumn 2017), Blake, Delia (Diamonds Forever, November 2016), Songbird Serenade (My Little Pony, Summer 2017), Darcy (Future Fresh, January 2017), Groove Thang (Dance to the Musique, Autumn 2008), Prima Donna (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), Under the Stars (Coastal Crush, Summer 2017), Scandalous Shenanigans (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013)

I did an extra close up shot of Blake and Delia to show that they are actually rather close. Their shimmer isn’t exactly the same but they’re definitely the same idea and mostly the same execution too. Dressed to the Nineties is different but it’s something fans of Blake would enjoy. Songbird Serenade has a vastly different shimmer and a black base instead of a blue one but again, similar.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Delaney (Party Girls) - Part 1





Okay, I either forgot Rodeo Fanatic was blue or overestimated how strong Delaney’s blue flash is.

From left to right: Rodeo Fanatic (Rodeo Diva, Autumn 2008), Glamcore (Street Regal, Autumn 2017), Dressed to the Nineties (As If, Autumn 2017), Delaney, Groove Thang (Dance to the Musique, Autumn 2008), I Carol About You (Gwen Stefani Holiday, Holiday 2014), Prima Donna (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), Marta (Future Fresh, January 2017), Dora (Stroke of Midnight Mystery Box, December 2016), Venus Was Her Name

Groove Thang is actually pretty close, albeit a bit darker, but if you have that one lying around you don’t need Delaney. Dressed to the Nineties is different but if you like one you’ll like the other.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Essie Dressed to the Nineties (As If) - Part 1




From left to right: Dora (Stroke of Midnight Mystery Box, December 2016), Paula (Countdown, December 2014), Prima Donna (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), Dressed to the Nineties, Turn on the Northern Lights (Iceland, Autumn 2017), Groove Thang (Dance to the Musique, Autumn 2008), Songbird Serenade (My Little Pony, Summer 2017), Totally in the Dark (Spring 2013)

Nothing else has Dressed to the Nineties’ green shimmer. Turn on the Northern Lights was probably released to compete with Dressed to the Nineties, but it’s way different. Nothing else is even kind of close.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Glamcore (Street Regal)



From left to right: Black Cherry Chutney (India, Spring 2008), Sloane (Pulse, Autumn 2008), Let’s Groove (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Glamcore, Yasmeen (Provocateur, Summer 2006), Sexy Divide (Winter 2008), Thess (Luminous Lights, Holiday 2016), Belinda (Zenith, Holiday 2013), Prima Donna (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), Russian Navy (Russia, Autumn 2007), Groove Thang (Dance to the Musique, Autumn 2008)

I don’t have anything exactly like Glamcore – Sloane, Let’s Groove, and Yasmeen are redder, and Sexy Plunge, Thess, and Belinda are cooler.

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.
