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!

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







From left to right: Tina (Charming, Spring 2017), Lois (Wanderlust, Summer 2017), After the Glow (Sunrise Sunset, Summer 2017), Audrina (Gossip, Summer 2008), Pamplona Purple (Spain, Autumn 2009), Landon, Dawn of a New Reign (Street Regal, Autumn 2017), Purple Haze (Star Power, Autumn 2017), O Suzi Mio (Venice, Autumn 2015), Margarita (Black Magic, August 2014), Karina (Neon Nights, July 2017), Queen B (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), All Access Pass (Neons 2015)

Landon is sort of on the bridge between the light purples and the dark purples here. It errs towards the lights but it is the darkest. I think if you dropped a bit of Dawn of a New Reign into Pamplona Purple you’d get Landon.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - OPI Wanna Wrap? (Love OPI XOXO) - Part 1




From left to right: Karina (Neon Nights, July 2017), Elaine (Sophisticates, Autumn 2017), Suzi & the Arctic Fox (Iceland, Autumn 2017), Purple Haze (Star Power, Autumn 2017), Margarita (Black Magic, October 2014), Wanna Wrap, Charmed I’m Sure (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), O Suzi Mio (Venice, Autumn 2015), Viking in a Vinter Vonderland (Nordic, Autumn 2014)

I actually don’t have anything dead-on close to Wanna Wrap here. Karina is way off, Elaine and Arctic Fox aren’t nearly purple enough, Purple Haze is too light, Margarita is too blue, Charmed I’m Sure is too light and O Suzi Mio and Viking are a bit too cool.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Purple Haze (Star Power)





From left to right: All Aboard (All Aboard, Autumn 2014), Grape Pop (Up & Away, Spring 2010), Plum Sugar (Sugar High, Spring 2015), Katya (Dark and Stormy Nights, October 2016), Monica (Designer, Autumn 2012), Charmed, I’m Sure (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Purple Haze, A Grape Affair (Coca Cola, Summer 2014), Lidia (Focus, Autumn 2015), Queen B (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Crown Velvet (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016), Karina (Neon Nights, July 2017)

Purple Haze is close enough to Plum Sugar, Katya, Monica, Charmed I’m Sure, and A Grape Affair that you wouldn’t need to pick it up. All Aboard and Grape Pop are too light, Lidia’s too red, and Queen B, Crown Velvet, and Karina are too blue.
