Julep Lineup - Polly, Poppy, Priscilla, Rachael



  • Polly (It Girl - Deep End, June 2015) is a fabulous summery pink shimmer. It needs three coats but it’s amazing!
  • Poppy (Boho Glam - Drenched, July 2015) is an orange jelly. Not my fave but it’s pretty.
  • Priscilla (Emerald for May - May 2014) is a green glitter bomb. I wore this last Christmas! They should bring this one back!
  • Rachael (Bombshell - Kisses, London, September 2015) is a warm gray metallic. Nice!

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Haute & Heavy (Street Regal)



From left to right: Rachael (Kisses London, September 2015), Public Relations (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Freja (Downtown, Autumn 2007), Kiss My Glass (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Awaken (Romantique, Spring 2009), Haute & Heavy, After Hours (Dance to the Musique, Autumn 2008), Black Diamond (Ski, Holiday 2007), No More Mr. Night Sky (Starlight, Holiday 2015)

Haute & Heavy has a lot of company here, Rachael’s greener and lighter, Public Relations and Freja are more purple, and No More Mr. Night Sky has a different finish (flecky), but everything else is really close.

Summer 2017 - OPI Don't Take Yosemite For Granite (California Dreaming)





From left to right: Take the “A” Train (New York Marquee, Autumn 2014), Rachael (Kisses, London, September 2015), On the Wild Side (Wild at Heart, Autumn 2009), Bad Moon Rising (Big Bang, Holiday 2013), Hook and Line (Colours from the Capitol/Hunger Games, Spring 2012), Chrome is Where the Heart Is (House of Colour, Spring 2016), Don’t Take Yosemite for Granite, Jungle Queen (On Safari, Autumn 2012), No Peeking! (Twinkle, Holiday 2014)

Yosemite is the only polish in California Dreaming I don’t have anything exactly like. Its closest relative in style is Jungle Queen but Jungle Queen’s not a true metallic. It’s a cross between Jungle Queen and Chrome is Where the Heart Is.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze It's A-Boat Time! (Spring Fling)





From left to right: Cords (Retro Diva, Autumn 2009), Take a Right on Bourbon (New Orleans, Spring 2016), Monique (Lighten Up, March 2016), Spun Sugar (Parfumerie, Autumn 2013), It’s Totally Fort Worth It (Texas, Spring 2011), I’d Melt for You (Twinkle, Holiday 2014), It’s A-Boat Time, Centennial Celebration (Coca Cola Icons of Happiness, Summer 2015), Smoldering, Bad Moon Rising (Big Bang, Holiday 2013, full size a Nordstrom Exclusive, Spring 2015), Dorothy (Luminous Lights, Holiday 2016), Closing Night (Ballet Nudes, Spring 2017), On the Wild Side (Wild at Heart, Autumn 2009), Star Dust Memories, Rachael (Kisses, London, September 2015)

There’s a lot of green in It’s A-Boat Time that nothing else here has. I’d Melt for You is very much a true silver without any green. Fort Worth It is the closest in spirit, but it has a pink flash instead of green. It’s the pink version of A-Boat Time. Spun Sugar, Monique, and Bourbon are similarly warm but less green. Centennial Celebration is also very warm but it’s actually a silver and gold foil instead of a metallic.
