Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Tawny (Party Girls) - Part 2

From left to right: Mercedes (Light and Shadow, November 2016), Leggy Legend (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015), Tatiana (Cityscape, September 2013), Louisa May (Citrine for November, November 2015), Virginia (All Night Long, December 2015), What’s the Password? (Secret Society, Holiday 2013), Harvest Moon (Hunger Games, Spring 2012), Foxy (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010), Channing (Satins, Autumn 2013), Evangeline (Magique, Autumn 2006), Tawny, Autumn (Ignite, Autumn 2014), Ivy (Magique, Autumn 2006), Mercedes (Classics), Gloria (Flame, Holiday 2010), Ya Got Trouble (I Gotta Be Me, Holiday 2014)

Tawny is really close to Evangeline so if you’ve had that one in your stash for a while you can skip out on Tawny. It’s a lot redder than contemporary Zoyas Channing and Autumn. It’s fleckier than Foxy and redder than Harvest Moon.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - OPI Sweet Carmel Sunday (California Dreaming)

From left to right: Magical (Romantique, Spring 2009), Chantilly Peach (Core), Austine (Utopia, Holiday 2007), Sweet Carmel Sunday, Cinnamon (Flair, Autumn 2015), Far Out (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Brisbane Bronze (Australia, Spring 2007), Penny (Truth, Autumn 2009), Mercedes (Classics), Leggy Legend (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015), Goin’ My Way? (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010)

I don’t have anything quite like Sweet Carmel Sunday, I’d say it’s like a cross between Austine and Cinnamon.

Summer 2016 Comparisons - Essie Star Studded (Gel Couture Gala Bolds)

From left to right: Sunny (Vivid, April 2014), Solar Power (Ecollection, Spring 2008), Sun’s Up Top Down (Road Trip, Spring 2015), Aim to Misbehave (Shimmer Brights, Summer 2016), Cowardly Lyin’ (Wizard of Ooh Ahz Returns, Holiday 2009), Lighthouse (Anchors Away, Spring 2011), Goldie (Dramatic, February 2014), Champagne Bubbles (Let It Snow, Holiday 2011), Star Studded, Rollin in Cashmere (Gwen Stefani Holiday, Holiday 2014), Getting Groovy (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Marisol (Bask in the Heat, June 2017), Leggy Legend (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015)

I really have nothing like Star Studded, at all! The only things even sort of close are Rollin in Cashmere (which is a straight metallic) and Champagne Bubbles (which has sliver glitter not gold).

Holiday 2016 Comparisons - Essie Getting Groovy (Getting Groovy)

Unfortunately, the two things I wanted to compare most to Getting Groovy, OPI’s Up Front and Personal and Glitzerland, are both MIA presumed destashed, so if and when I get replacement bottles of those, I’ll be sure to add comparisons.

From left to right: Front Page (Infamous, Holiday 2015), Love.Angel.Music.Baby (Gwen Stefani, Spring 2014), Cheryl (Very Merry, Holiday 2015), Comet Closer (Starlight, Holiday 2015), Leggy Legend (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015)

Leggy Legend’s not even kind of close but I thought you would like to see them together. Front Page and L.A.M.B. are a similar color but different finishes, Front Page a regular metallic and L.A.M.B. a matte. Cheryl and Sienna though are really close, Cheryl’s a little lighter and Sienna’s a little darker, but if you have one you don’t need the others, I’d go with Getting Groovy. Comet Closer isn’t really close though, it’s cooler toned and has distinctive glitter.
