Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Outta Space (Shining Star Ornament) - Part 2




From left to right: Wilma (Rainbow Bright, May 2016), Lullaby of Broadway (New York Marquee, Autumn 2014), Chicago Champagne Toast (Route 66, Autumn 1997), Nothing Else Metals (Mirror Metallics, Summer 2012), Chrome is Where the Heart Is (House of Colour, Spring 2016), Outta Space, 12th Street Rag (New York Marquee, Autumn 2014), Violet Auction (Slick Oilpaint, Summer 2016), Jetstream (Core), Moment in the Sunset (Spring Fling, Spring 2017), Awakening (Pure Platinum, 2000), Meet Me on the Star Ferry (Hong Kong, Spring 2010), No Peeking (Twinkle, Holiday 2014)

Outta Space seems to be like a mix between a little of Chrome is Where the Heart is and 12th Street Rag, erring towards the Chrome is Where the Heart is side. It’s more saturated than Nothing Else Metals and pinker than Violet Auction.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Essie Girly Grunge (As If) - Part 2





From left to right: Leslie (Delight, Spring 2015), Hudson (Awaken, Spring 2014), Nothing Else Metals (Mirror Metallics, Summer 2012), Girly Grunge, Violet Auction (Slick Oilpaint, Summer 2016), Chrome is Where the Heart Is (House of Colour, Spring 2016), 12th Street Rag (New York Marquee, Autumn 2014)

I thought the three purple Essie metallics would all be a bit closer but they’re all unique, Nothing Else Metals is the lightest, Girly Grunge is the darkest, and Violet Auction is the pinkest. Chrome is Where the Heart Is and 12th Street Rag are also pinker. Leslie and Hudson have different finishes, but Hudson’s a similar color.

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




From left to right: Hazel (Irresistible, Summer 2013), Centennial Celebration (Coca Cola Icons of Happiness, Summer 2015), Gossip over Gimlets (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Five-and-Ten (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016), Rage (Foil FX, Spring 2010), Marion (Mystery Minis, Summer 2015), Strike up a Cosmo (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Miss Independent (Liquid Metals, Spring 2011), S’il Vous Play, Violet Auction (Slick Oilpaint, Summer 2016), Nothing Else Metals (Mirror Metallics, Summer 2012), Tinsley (Irresistible, Summer 2013). Bottom row: Trixie (Extreme, Summer 2004), Seraphina (Zenith, Holiday 2013), Roselyn (This Way to the Soiree, December 2016)

The stuff along the bottom are all white/silver and lack S’il Vous Play’s pink in it. Everything else isn’t close at all, except for Strike Up a Cosmo, which is close but still darker, Violet Auction & Nothing Else Metals, which are the same color but metallics and not foils, and Miss Independent, which is close enough you don’t need both but it is a little darker.
