Julep Lineup - Mercedes, Mercer, Meredith, Michaela

• Mercedes (It Girl - Light and Shadow, November 2016) is a rose gold foil. This is a bit sheer but very pretty! Perfect for fall.
• Mercer (It Girl - Sparkling Sights, Holiday 2016) is an emerald green metallic. Gorgeous!
• Meredith (Wonder Maven - Wonder Maven, September 2016) is a really unique pale blue metallic. I have nothing else like this!
• Michaela (Boho Glam - New York Never Sleeps, October 2015) is a really complex brown with green glitter. An interesting combo!

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

From left to right: Eunice (Into the Deep, July 2016), Bell Bottom Blues (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015), High on Hope (Hope and Freedom Fest, Spring 2013), Up All Night (Patent Leather in the City, Spring 2006), First Class Ticket (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010), Light My Sapphire (Night Brights, Summer 2007), Russian Navy (Russia, Autumn 2007), Ciara (Rebel Set, October 2013), Queen of the Night (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016), Blake, Sansa (Ignite, Autumn 2014), Michaela (New York Never Sleeps, October 2015), Live and Let Die (Skyfall, Holiday 2012), Madelynn (Muse Montreal, August 2015)

Nothing here matches Blake’s inky base with gold shimmer. Sansa has a purple base and has stronger and more opaque glitter. Queen of the Night is also close but again it’s purple and has orange glitter. Michaela has green glitter and Ciara has blue.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - OPI Coalmates (Love OPI XOXO) - Part 2

From left to right: Yuna (Ignite, Autumn 2014), Lubu Heels (The Perfect Pair, Autumn 2007), Haute Tub (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Smoke and Ashes (Hunger Games, Spring 2012), Michaela (New York Never Sleeps, October 2015), Frenemy (Infamous, Holiday 2015), Frock ‘n’ Roll (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015), Coalmates, Ebony (Dark and Stormy Nights, October 2016), Rosario (Celestial Cheer, Holiday 2016), My Private Jet (originally from Night Brights, Summer 2007), Bernadette (Black Onyx for February, February 2015), Dahlia (Spring Pixiedust, Spring 2013)

Again, nothing is exactly like Coalmates. Ebony comes closest but it’s more brown and the holo is more apparent.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Songbird Serenade (My Little Pony)

From left to right: High on Hope (Hope & Freedom Fest, Spring 2013), Sleeping Under the Stars (The Great Outdoors, Autumn 2015), Totally in the Dark (Spring 2013), Frock ‘n’ Roll (Leggy Legend, Autumn 2015), Songbird Serenade, Haute Tub (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Rich & Brazilian (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016), Smile for the Glamera (Kardashian CVS Exclusive, Autumn 2013), All Night Long (After Midnight Sephora Exclusive, Autumn 2016), Michaela (New York Never Sleeps, October 2015), Yuna (Ignite, Autumn 2014)

I thought High on Hope was basically a blue version of Songbird Serenade, and it is, but High on Hope is distinctly blue even in indirect light. Same goes for Sleeping Under the Stars. The stuff Glamera on right all have different colors of shimmer. Totally in the dark is too true black and has silver shimmer and not red/gold/blue. Frock ‘n’ Roll is a similar not-quite-black color but the shimmer is silver. Rich & Brazilian has a similar shimmer (although it’s more red and less gold) but the base color is different. If you have Haute Tub though, you don’t need Songbird Serenade, the base colors are dead on and the shimmer, while not identical, is rather close.
