From left to right: Jordan (Charming, Spring 2017), Belle of a Baller (Pastels, Spring 2017), Delhi Dance (Going Guru, Resort/Spring 2016), Castaway (Summertime, Summer 2004), Reese, Groove is in the Heart (Romantic Rapture, Spring 2013), Malibu Pier Pressure, Kiss Me I’m Brazilian (Brazil, Spring 2014), Eden (Delight, Spring 2015), Winnie (Wanderlust, Summer 2017), Jolene (Flash, Summer 2010), Status Symbol (Spring 2009). Swatch Sticks: Top: China Glaze Don’t Mesa with my Heart (Desert Escape, Summer 2015), OPI Flip Flops & Crop Tops (Retro Summer, Summer 2016)

Malibu Pier Pressure is not unique, like, at all. Except for Jordan, Status Symbol, and Don’t Mesa with my Heart, everything’s pretty close.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Sun Daze (Sunrise Sunset)





From left to right: Prelude to a Kiss (Cool Romance, Spring 2012), Fresh Prince-ss (Rebel, Autumn ’16), Piper (Classics), Sugar, Sugar (Sweets for My Sweet, Spring 2016), A Trail of Petals (Bed of Roses, Spring 2017), Sun Daze, Groove is in the Heart (Romantic Rapture, Spring 2013), Alicia (Express Yourself, March 2012), Who Are You Calling a Shrimp? (Core), Sorry I’m Fizzy Today (Coca-Cola, Summer 2014), Laurel (Petals, Spring 2016), Reese (?), Pink-ing of You (Classics), Beauty School Dropout (Happy Days, Summer 2016). Swatch sticks: Top: OPI Flip Flops & Crop Tops (Retro Summer, Summer 2016), Bottom: China Glaze Pinking Out the Window (Road Trip, Spring 2015).

I wanted to show Sun Daze next to a real nude, Prelude to a Kiss, to show Sun Daze is decidedly not a nude. Fresh Prince-ss is lighter and pinker, and everything Fizzy on right and Flip Flops & Crop Tops are too dark. Piper is a more nude toned version of a similar hue to Sun Daze. Alicia is much brighter, and Pink-ing out the Window is darker. There’s a nice little almost-ombre row of Lippmann minis there. Sugar, Sugar looks super washed out in the bottle but is really more of a creamsicle orange than Sun Daze, lacking all of Sun Daze’s pink. A Trail of Petals is more pink and less orange. Groove is in the Heart is a lot darker and a bright pink. The closest thing I have is Who are You Calling a Shrimp. It’s darker but it’s a similar shade, a similar mix of pink and oranger.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Belle of a Baller (Pastels)




From left to right: Something Sweet (Up & Away, Spring 2016), Laurel (Petals, Spring 2016), Groove is in the Heart (Romantic Rapture, Spring 2013), Castaway (Summertime, Summer 2004), Need a Vacation (Spring 2006), Delhi Dance (Going Guru, Resort/Spring 2016), Belle of a Baller, Beauty School Dropout (Happy Days, Summer 2016), Dance Baby (Electropop, Spring 2012), Eden (Delight, Spring 2015), Madison Ave-Hue (Madison Ave-Hue, Spring 2013)

Belle of a Baller is surprisingly unique; the only things I have that are pretty close are Beauty School Dropout and Dance Baby, but Beauty School Dropout is dustier and Dance Baby is darker.
