Julep Lineup - Kristjana, Krystle, Lainey, Lara

• Kristjana (It Girl - This Way to the Soiree, December 2016) is the purple version of Ginny and it’s just as great. The orange shimmer shows up less against the purple background than it does against the blue but it’s still fab. I love this!
• Krystle (Wonder Maven - Dark and Stormy Nights, October 2016) is a green creme with a subtle shimmer. It shows up way better in the picture than it does in real life. It’s a lot more creme like in real life. It’s such a pretty color either way!
• Lainey (Wonder Maven - Drenched, July 2015) is a magenta metallic. This doesn’t have the best formula and there’s lots of other similar colors with better formulas.
• Lara (Bombshell - Spring to It, March 2017) is a pink with a strong gold shimmer. This is quite pretty, although I’d wear 3 coats. Very unique!

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Space Unicorn (Shining Star Ornament) - Part 1

From left to right: Queen, Please! (Happily Never After, Autumn 2017), Lara (Spring to It, March 2017), Glimmer & Shimmer (Classics), Space Unicorn, Let Your Twilight Sparkle (My Little Pony, Summer 2017), Yulia (Future Fresh, January 2017)

Nothing here has that fab blue shimmer that Space Unicorn has, except for Let Your Twilight Sparkle which is all blue shimmer. Queen Please has green shimmer instead, Lara is opaque and has gold shimmer, Glimmer and Shimmer have silver shimmer, and Yulia is something completely different.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - OPI The Color That Keeps on Giving (Love OPI XOXO) - Part 1

From left to right: Magical (Romantique, Spring 2009), Silken Quartz (Velvet Dream, Autumn 2017), Sin-derella (Happily Never After, Autumn 2017), Lara (Spring to It, March 2017), The Color that Keeps on Giving, Pink Diamond (Madison Ave, Spring 2004), Lily (Romantic), Reykjavik has All the Hot Spots (Iceland, Autumn 2017), Hotter than Hibiscus (Heavy Petal, Spring 2012), China Doll (Summer 2006), Fabulous Flamingo (Color ID 2, Spring 2007)

Nothing here is really close to The Color that Keeps on Giving. Lara has a different finish and Pink Diamond is too dark and bright.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - OPI Snow Glad I Met You (Love OPI XOXO) - Part 1

From left to right: Christinna, Sweet Souffle (Summer 2017), Lara (Spring To It, March 2017), Sin-derella (Happily Never After, Autumn 2017), Silken Quartz (Velvet Dream, Autumn 2017), Ainsley (Cozy in Love, February 2017), Snow Glad I Met You, Fashion Faceoff (Gala Bolds, Summer 2017), Wow (Star Power, Autumn 2017), Chroma Cool (Summer 2017)

Ainsley is the closest thing to Snow Glad, but it’s a different style, being a crème with shimmer instead of a true metallic.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Essie Sweet Souffle (S'il Vous Play)

I’m sorry I don’t have either OPI Oh My Majesty or CG Snow Way, I really didn’t like Oh My Majesty so I got rid of it and didn’t get within 20 feet of Snow Way. I think they’re both pretty close to Sweet Souffle. I hope I like Sweet Souffle more than Oh My Majesty!

From left to right: Erin (Spa Essentials, this has silver glitter in it I swear), Brenda (Naughty or Nice Mystery Box, December 2013), Frosting (Sugar High, Spring 2015), Celeste (Masquerade), Leona (Diamond for April, April 2015), Christinna (?), Steph (Drenched, July 2015), Rainbow (China Rain, Spring 2001), Sweet Soufflé, Time For Me Time (Resort Spring 2015), Chantilly Lace (Whisper, Spring 2015), Lara (Spring to It, March 2017), La Vie En Rose (Spring Reveries, Spring 2014), Temptation Carnation (Bali Bliss)

Erin is obviously more nude and not white, Brenda too gold and too blingy, Frosting super warm and has gold shimmer, Celeste more of a mother of pearl as opposed to white with shimmer, and Leona’s shimmer is a whole other animal, pink and blue shimmer. Christinna is similar in concept except the shimmer is silver and not orange. Temptation Carnation is really a pink with shimmer, same with La Vie En Rose. Lara is kind of the opposite of Sweet Souffle, instead of a pale base with pink shimmer, Lara is a pink with pale gold shimmer. Chantilly Lace and Time for Me Time (which are fairly close to each other, but Time for Me Time is a lot warmer toned than Chantilly Lace) are basically Sweet Souffle with a pink base as opposed to a white one. If you like Rainbow you’ll like Sweet Souffle, Rainbow’s base is less stark white and the shimmer is pink and not pink/orange. Steph is like a cross between Leona and Sweet Souffle, it’s got Sweet Souffle’s opaque white base but Leona’s blue and pink shimmer as opposed to the stuff that’s in Sweet Souffle.

Left: Sweet Souffle. Right: It’s Totally Fort Worth It (Texas, Spring 2011)

Fort Worth It is similar in construction, but it’s obviously a gray not white, and the shimmer is a lot different, it’s more little flecks.

Essie Bridal Comparisons - Blush-Worthy

I wish I got Julep Tasha last holiday, I think that would be really close to Blush-Worthy, instead I have her darker sister Sylvie instead. Just imagine Sylvie more of a melon color and you have Tasha, which I think would be reasonably close.

From left to right: Just Stitched (Cashmere Mattes, Spring 2015), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016), Lara (Spring to It, March 2017), Girly (Core), Erika (Chit-Chat, Summer 2008), Blush-Worthy, Princesses Rule! (Princess Charming, Spring 2006), Oh Behave (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Good Witch? (Wizard of Ooh Ahz Returns, Holiday 2009), Chloe (Fleck Effect, Spring 2012), Sylvie (Gem Collection Holiday 2015), Harper (Bubbly, Summer 2014)

Erika is pretty close, it’s sheerer though and lacks Blush-Worthy’s larger flakies. I think if you mixed some of Chloe into Erika you’d have Blush-Worthy. Princesses Rule is in the same family but it’s not the same shade of pink and it’s sheerer.
