Julep Lineup - Kathy, Katie, Katrina, Katya

• Kathy (Pearl for June, June 2014) is a chic looking golden shimmer, although it really doesn’t look anything like a pearl. Really unique! It’s more gold than Brenda.
• Katie (CWAT - Wanderlust, August 2014) is a warm toned purple shimmer. This one I’m not crazy about, the shimmer kinda dies on the nail.
• Katrina (Bombshell - Bow on Top, Holiday 2015) is quite different from Kathy in person. Kathy is a fine gold shimmer, Katrina is a beige and silver glitter combo. This is really great and opaque!
• Katya (CWAT - Dark and Stormy Nights, October 2016) is a dark purple creme. Solid but not super exciting.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - OPI Wanna Wrap? (Love OPI XOXO) - Part 2

From left to right: Monica (Designer, Autumn 2012), Lidia (Focus, Autumn 2015), Miss Independent (Roar, Autumn 2013), Material Girl (Fall 2007), Casey (Core), Wanna Wrap, Katya (Dark & Stormy Nights, October 2016), A Grape Affair (Coca Cola, Summer 2014), Plum Sugar (Sugar High, Spring 2015), Crown Velvet (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016)

Again, surprisingly, I have nothing exactly like Wanna Wrap but Casey and Katya are close enough you don’t need it.

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.

Holiday 2016 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Crown Velvet (Her Majesty)

From left to right: Drunk in Love (Color Fever website exclusive, Summer 2014), All Aboard (All Aboard, Autumn 2014), Grape Pop (Up & Away, Spring 2010), Mix and Mingle (Cheers!, Holiday 2015), Do You Have this Color in Stock-holm? (Nordic, Autumn 2014), Crown Velvet, Monica (Designer, Autumn 2012), O Suzi Mio (Venice, Autumn 2015), Katya (Dark & Stormy Nights, October 2016), Plum Sugar (Sugar High, Spring 2015)

Drunk in Love is the closest thing I have within Lippmann’s line, but it’s infinitely lighter, redder, and brighter. All Aboard is lighter and dustier. Grape Pop, Mix and Mingle, and Stock-holm are all lighter, but all share Crown Velvet’s blue tone. Monica, O Suzi Mio, and Katya are more red toned. In hindsight, I probably should have put Plum Sugar next to Crown Velvet, because they’re pretty close, but Plum Sugar is also redder.
