Julep Lineup - Judy, Juniper, Jyliana, Karina

• Judy (Boho Glam - All Night Long, December 2015) is a fabulous polish. They call it a “moonbeam metallic” and that’s just a perfect description. It’s a champagne fine glitter that dries down smooth but sparkly. This is one of few Juleps I have two of and I love every drop!
• Juniper (Boho Glam - Luminous Lights, Holiday 2016) is a blue metallic. It’s lighter and more silvery than Eunice. This is nice.
• Jyliana (It Girl - Spring to It, March 2017) is a really unique sage green creme. Great formula too!
• Karina (Bombshell - Neon Nights, July 2017) is a bright purple creme. Not a neon as the collection name would have you believe but it is very summery and has a better formula than most neons!

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Beth (Sophisticates) - Part 2

From left to right: Five-and-Ten (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016), Katrina (Bow on Top, Holiday 2015), Judy (All Night Long, December 2015), Rage (Foil FX, Spring 2010), Kay (Modern Smolder, February 2016), Beth, Wilma (Rainbow Bright, May 2016), Beatrice (All Night Long, December 2015), Louisa May (Citrine for November, November 2015), Chantilly Peach, Hey Doll & Ingrid (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010)

I thought Kay was close to McKenna but it’s almost dead-on with Beth. It’s a tiny bit warmer and darker but not enough to call them anything but dupes. Rage is similar, but it’s more foily and silverier. Wilma’s closer to Beth than it was to McKenna but it’s still too metallic and duochromey. Five-and-Ten, Katrina, and Judy are all too silvery, the two polishes from Vintage Vixen are way off, Chantilly Peach is too, well, peach, Louisa May is too warm, and Beatrice is too gold.

Holiday 2016 Comparisons - OPI Five-and-Ten (Breakfast at Tiffany's)

From left to right: Glimmer (Classics), Whatever Lola Wants (collaboration with Kelly Ripa, 2007?), Rage (Foil FX, Spring 2010), Miss Independent (Liquid Metals, Spring 2011), Judy (All Night Long, December 2015), Five-and Ten, My Favorite Ornament (Mariah Carey Christmas, Holiday 2013), Getting Groovy (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Beatrice (All Night Long, December 2015)

Glimmer and Whatever Lola Wants are so different I forgot why I put them in here (they’re both sheer toppers.) Rage is bronze and Miss Independent is pink, but I wanted to show them anyway. Beatrice is way too warm and Getting Groovy doesn’t have nearly enough silver to compare. My Favorite Ornament is a glitter, and it’s golder, but otherwise they’re pretty close. Judy and Five-and-Ten though are really close. Judy has a smidge more pink in the glitters but they’re almost exactly the same.

From left to right: Icicle (Let it Snow!, Holiday 2011), Five-and-Ten, Centennial Celebration (Coca-Cola Icons of Happiness, Summer 2015),

I wanted to show Five-and-Ten against a real silver foil just to show you that Five-and-Ten isn’t a silver foil in the slightest. I thought Centennial Celebration would be closer, but where Five-and-Ten is pink, Centennial Celebration is gold.
