Holiday 2016 Comparisons - OPI Rich & Brazilian (Breakfast at Tiffany's)


I’m surprised I have way more comparisons for this than I do for Apartment for Two!



From left to right: Sloane (Pulse, Autumn 2008), Good Girl Gone Bad (Party Like a Rockstar, Holiday 2008), Britta (Urban Grunge, Autumn 2016), Jem (Mirrors, Autumn 2011), Taboo (Revelation, Spring 2013), Rich & Brazilian, Scorpio (Zodiac, November 2016), Queen of the Night (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016), Black Cherry Chutney (India, Spring 2008), Darkest Shadow (Smoky, Autumn 2014), Sansa (Ignite, Autumn 2014), Cosmo with a Twist (Starlight, Holiday 2015)

Sloane is less red and more purple, and has less shimmer. Good Girl Gone Bad is an actual glitter that doesn’t dry smooth, as well it’s also warmer, this is one I’d definitely say if you’re a fan of Good Girl Gone Bad go check out Rich & Brazilian. Britta is lighter and has gold shimmer in it. The three on the far right have distinctly different glitter colors: Darkest Shadow is too red, Sansa is too gold, and Cosmo with a Twist is too blue. Black Cherry Chutney is actually a similar color to Rich & Brazilian’s base, it just doesn’t have any of Rich & Brazilian’s sparkle. I threw in Queen of the Night, but it’s rather darker and the glitter is less dense. Jem and Taboo are a lot more vibrant and have more gold in their shimmer. The closest thing I have is Scorpio – the base colors are really close but Scorpio’s glitter is silverier. Rich & Brazilian’s mix of pink, red, and a little bit of blue is really unique!

Holiday 2016 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Queen of the Night (Her Majesty)




From left to right: Frock ‘n’ Roll (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015), Lubu Heels (The Perfect Pair, Autumn 2007), Smile for the Glam-era (CVS Exclusive Kardashian Collection, 2013), Taboo (Revelation, Spring 2013), Jem (Mirrors, Autumn 2011), Queen of the Night, Haute Tub (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Russian Navy (Russia, Autumn 2007), Vendetta (Spring 2009), Cosmo with a Twist (Starlight, Holiday 2015), First Class Ticket (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010)

Maybe if you mixed Vendetta and Taboo you’d get something close to QotN, but alas, she is not a Taboo dupe (Side note: Jem might be close, I need to do a bigger post on the two of them). Frock ‘n’ Roll is super gray, and Lubu Heels has red glitter in it, but I thought they’d be worth comparing. Now, actually, my first thought for comparison was actually Glam-era, and they are pretty close, and you can’t see it well from my shots but Glam-era has silver glitter in it as opposed to QotN’s gold/orange. Taboo and Jem are more metallic in their base, plus Taboo has some silver glitter in it. Vendetta is similar, except it has no orange glitter in it, just a metallic base. Russian Navy, Cosmo, and First Class Ticket are much bluer toned. Now, Haute Tub is pretty similar to Queen of the Night. The glitter is more pink-to-gold as opposed to Queen of the Night’s pink-orange, and it has a silverier tone to it. Haute Tub is also more crème-like in its base.
