Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Presley & Joni (Sophisticates) - Part 2




From left to right: Rue (Naturel, Spring 2014), Piper (Classics), Brigitte (Naturel, Spring 2014), Presley, Zanna (Blissful, Spring 2008), Madeline (Naturel Deux, Autumn 2014), Joni, Marnie (Naturel Deux, Autumn 2014), Let’s Stay Together (Recipe for Love, Holiday 2014), Joanne (Friendsgiving, November 2014)

Presley is something like a less pink toned and more washed out version of Brigitte. Presley seems like a long-lost Naturel One, honestly. And Joni seems like a long-lost Naturel Deux, being a bit like a lighter Marnie.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Sun Daze (Sunrise Sunset)





From left to right: Prelude to a Kiss (Cool Romance, Spring 2012), Fresh Prince-ss (Rebel, Autumn ’16), Piper (Classics), Sugar, Sugar (Sweets for My Sweet, Spring 2016), A Trail of Petals (Bed of Roses, Spring 2017), Sun Daze, Groove is in the Heart (Romantic Rapture, Spring 2013), Alicia (Express Yourself, March 2012), Who Are You Calling a Shrimp? (Core), Sorry I’m Fizzy Today (Coca-Cola, Summer 2014), Laurel (Petals, Spring 2016), Reese (?), Pink-ing of You (Classics), Beauty School Dropout (Happy Days, Summer 2016). Swatch sticks: Top: OPI Flip Flops & Crop Tops (Retro Summer, Summer 2016), Bottom: China Glaze Pinking Out the Window (Road Trip, Spring 2015).

I wanted to show Sun Daze next to a real nude, Prelude to a Kiss, to show Sun Daze is decidedly not a nude. Fresh Prince-ss is lighter and pinker, and everything Fizzy on right and Flip Flops & Crop Tops are too dark. Piper is a more nude toned version of a similar hue to Sun Daze. Alicia is much brighter, and Pink-ing out the Window is darker. There’s a nice little almost-ombre row of Lippmann minis there. Sugar, Sugar looks super washed out in the bottle but is really more of a creamsicle orange than Sun Daze, lacking all of Sun Daze’s pink. A Trail of Petals is more pink and less orange. Groove is in the Heart is a lot darker and a bright pink. The closest thing I have is Who are You Calling a Shrimp. It’s darker but it’s a similar shade, a similar mix of pink and oranger.

Spring 2017 Comparisons: Zoya Jill (Natuel 3)




From left to right: Shari (Friendsgiving, November 2014), Gracie (QVC Julep Spring Neutrals, May 2016), Rue (Naturel, Spring 2014), Piper (Classics), Jill, The Look of Love (Bed of Roses, Spring 2017), Dress Me Up (Colours from the Capitol/Hunger Games, Spring 2012), Brigitte (Naturel, Spring 2014), Zanna (Blissful, Spring 2008), Coming Up Roses (Bed of Roses, Spring 2017), I Feel Pretty (Nordstrom Exclusive, Holiday 2016). Swatch Stick: China Glaze My Lodge or Yours (The Great Outdoors, Autumn 2015)

Jill is surprisingly close to The Look of Love – it’s just a little more brown toned. My Lodge or Yours, Dress Me Up, and Brigitte are also pretty close.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann A Trail of Petals and Coming Up Roses


From left to right: Fresh Prince-ss (Rebel, Autumn 2016), Phyllis (Chrysalis, January 2015), You’ve Got a Friend (I’ve Gotta Be Me, Holiday 2014), Rue (Naturel, Spring 2014), Jill (Naturel 3, Spring 2017), Avril (Suede, Summer 2004), A Trail of Petals, Piper (Classics), Dress Me Up (Colours from the Capitol/Hunger Games, Spring 2012), Ever After (Her Majesty, Holiday 2016), Coming Up Roses, Zanna (Blissful, Spring 2008), I Feel Pretty (Nordstrom Exclusive, Holiday 2016). Swatch stick: China Glaze My Lodge or Yours (The Great Outdoors, Autumn 2015)

A Trail of Petals is really close to Avril and Piper, it’s a little pinker than Avril and a little lighter than Piper, but they’re all really close. Coming Up Roses isn’t exactly the same as this holiday’s Ever After – it’s more vibrant. Ever After, Coming Up Roses and the new Nordstrom Exclusive I Feel Pretty would make a nice ombre manicure!

Here’s a nice line from light to dark. The closest are Sweet Memories, Something Sweet, and Mod About You. Fresh Prince-ss is kind of a tutu pink.
