Julep Lineup - Jennifer, Jenny, Jennye, Jessica

• Jennifer (CWAT - Express Yourself, March 2012) is a sheer nude polish. Pretty and solid.
• Jenny (CWAT - Fuchsia Fizzy, August 2015) is a really pretty pink creme with a strong gold shimmer. The shimmer shows up in almost all lighting!
• Jennye (Wonder Maven - Spring to It, March 2017) is another really big disappointment. The holo barely shows up and the formula is hard to work with. Not a fan.
• Jessica (It Girl - April 2012) is a cute little baby blue creme. Fabulous formula and a pretty color.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Blue Skies (Crystal Prism) - Part 2

From left to right: Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Kristen (Feel, Winter 2011), Jessica (April 2012), Secret Peri-Wink-le (Operation: Colour, Autumn 2008), Blue Skies, Avenue Maintain (Madison Ave-Hue, Spring 2013), Udon Know Me (Kimono Over, Autumn 2016), Trudy (Lighten Up, March 2016), I Know What Boys Like (Summer 2011)

Blue Skies isn’t like anything else here, Virgin Snow, Kristen, and Jessica are too light, I Know What Boys Like is too dark, Udon Know Me and Trudy are too green, Avenue Maintain is too bright, and Secret Periwinkle is too saturated.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Essie As If (As If) - Part 1

From left to right: Jessica (April 2012), Sea of Love (Message in a Bottle, Spring 2017), As If, My Boyfriend’s Back (Happy Days, Summer 2016), Sara (Kisses, London, September 2015)

As If kind of falls between the two Lippmanns, Sea of Love and My Boyfriend’s Back. Jessica’s too light, and Sara’s too dark.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - OPI Check Out the Old Geysirs (Iceland)

Also, why didn’t I think to include Pepper in my Saint comparisons?

From left to right: Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Jessica (Express Yourself, March 2012), Kristen (Feel, Winter 2011), Sea of Love (Message in a Bottle, Spring 2017), Check Out the Old Geysirs, Cinderella (Spring 2012), Rayne (Delight, Spring 2015), One Polished Pony (My Little Pony, Summer 2017), Matilda (Midsummer Light, June 2016), Saint (Enchanted, Holiday 2016), Pepper (Rainbow Bright, May 2016), Jo (Twist, Spring 2009). Swatch Stick: China Glaze Boho Blues (Road Trip, Spring 2015)

Old Geysirs is kind of like Sea of Love with soft blue shimmer, but given that the shimmer doesn’t show up that much in Geysirs they’re close enough you don’t need both.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Essie Blue-La-La (S'il Vous Play)

Note: I have the greener version of Mint Candy Apple, which is definitely different looking. For Audrey is also way darker.

From left to right: Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Jessica (April 2012), Kristen (Feel, Winter 2011/12), Sea of Love (Message in a Bottle, Spring 2017), My Boy Lollipop (Sweets for My Sweet, Spring 2016), Blue-La-La, Meet Me at the Rink (Poptastic Pastel Neons, Spring 2015), Liesl (Relax & Remix, April 2017), Lillian (Delight, Spring 2015), Suzi without a Paddle (Fiji, Spring 2017), Sailing & Nailing (Retro Summer, Summer 2016), Gelato on My Mind (Venice, Autumn 2015), I Believe in Manicures (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016)

Everything Sea of Love on left is too grayed and everything Liesl on right is too green, but Blue-La-La is pretty close to My Boy Lollipop and Meet Me at the Rink.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Sea of Love (Message in a Bottle)

The stuff on the far right is far too green to compare to Sea of Love, but I thought you would want to see them.

From left to right: Megan, Carey, Kristen (all from Feel, Winter 2011/12), Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Sea of Love, Jessica (April 2012), Matilda (Midsummer Light, June 2016), Secret Peri-wink-le (Operation: Colour, Autumn 2008), Udon Know Me (Kimono Over, Autumn 2016), My Boy Lollipop, Flowers in Her Hair (Spring Reveries, Spring 2014), For Audrey (Something Blue, Autumn 2007), Splish Splash (Happy Days, Summer 2016). Swatch Stick: China Glaze Boho Blues (Road Trip, Spring 2015)

Nothing I have here is an exact dupe to Sea of Love. Virgin Snow, Kristen, and Jessica, while in the same family, are lighter, and Matilda, Boho Blues, and Secret Peri-wink-le are darker. Sea of Love is also one of the grayest of the lot, barring the distinctly gray Carey. Kristen is the closest, but they’re not the same.
