- Lizanne (It Girl - Riviera, March 2014) is a teal green with blue shimmer. This is really unique and pretty! It’s a very wearable teal.
- London (CWAT - Afterglow, February 2015) is a warm purple creme. Very springy!
- Lorraine (CWAT - Midsummer Light, June 2016) is a pink/purple with silver shimmer. This is a nice classy polish that feels kind of retro but still fun.
- Lottie (CWAT - Neon Nights, July 2017) is one of the best white cremes I’ve ever used. Two easy coats and a non-streaky finish. It’s a very nice stark white too.

it not for the shimmer. High Society is more beige and Uptown Girl is more
pink.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann After the Glow (Sunrise Sunset)
I
didn’t get Zoya Liv from last summer but I get the sense they’d be very close!
From
left to right: Shade On (Lounge Lover, Spring 2016), Candy Shop (Sugar High,
Spring 2015), London (Afterglow, February 2015), Paige (Uptown, Autumn 2007),
Spontaneous (Flirt, Spring 2005), Tina (Charming, Spring 2017), After the Glow,
Gothic Lolita (Electropop, Spring 2012), I Manicure for Beads (New Orleans,
Spring 2016), Drunk in Love (Color Fever, Summer 2014), Crown Velvet (Her
Majesty, Holiday 2016). Subset: I Manicure for Beads, After the Glow, Drunk in Love
Shade
On is way too blue and Crown Velvet is too dark but I thought you would want to
see them. Candy Shop is far too grayed, and London to a lesser extent. Paige
has a bit too much red in it to compare but they have a lot of the same
undertones. Spontaneous, Gothic Lolita (which also has shimmer), and Tina are a
bit too cool to properly compare. Drunk in Love is the closest thing in
Lippmann’s line, and it’s pretty close but it has a bit more red to it. I
Manicure for Beads is almost a dead-on dupe. If I’m being nitpicky, After the
Glow is lighter but you don’t need both.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Tina (Charming)
From
left to right: Audrina (Gossip, Summer 2008), Violet-Vibes (Electric Nights,
Summer 2015), Drunk in Love (Color Fever, Summer 2014), I Manicure for Beads
(New Orleans, Spring 2016), Odette (Naturel, Spring 2014), Spontaneous (Flirt,
Spring 2005), London (Afterglow, February 2015), Tina, Violet (Mystery Minis,
Summer 2015), Afternoon Delight (Afternoon Delight Sephora Exclusive, Spring
2016), Mira (Summertime, Summer 2011), All Aboard (All Aboard, Autumn 2014),
Sylvia (Garden Party, August 2013), Grape Pop (Up & Away, Spring 2010)
The
stuff on the left is too warm and the stuff on the right is too cool and/or
dark. Odette is a dustier version of Tina, but it’s actually a pretty similar
hue. Spontaneous is a pinch darker, but it’s pretty close. London’s probably
the closest thing I have but it’s closer to Odette than Tina as it’s a lot
dustier, but it lacks some of the brown tone in Odette. If you mixed Tina and
Odette though you’d probably have something closer to Violet, but Violet still
leans closer to Odette. Lastly, Afternoon Delight is much lighter. Nothing
quite matches Tina’s tone or vibrancy!

From
left to right: Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), I’m Gown for Anything!

2016), Afternoon Delight (Afternoon Delight Sephora Exclusive, Spring 2016), As

Autumn 2013)
The
only thing I have even kind of close to As Seen on TV is Diggin’ the Dancing
Queen. It’s a little brighter (being a pastel neon), but the color is the
closest.
