Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Beth (Sophisticates) - Part 2

From left to right: Five-and-Ten (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016), Katrina (Bow on Top, Holiday 2015), Judy (All Night Long, December 2015), Rage (Foil FX, Spring 2010), Kay (Modern Smolder, February 2016), Beth, Wilma (Rainbow Bright, May 2016), Beatrice (All Night Long, December 2015), Louisa May (Citrine for November, November 2015), Chantilly Peach, Hey Doll & Ingrid (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010)

I thought Kay was close to McKenna but it’s almost dead-on with Beth. It’s a tiny bit warmer and darker but not enough to call them anything but dupes. Rage is similar, but it’s more foily and silverier. Wilma’s closer to Beth than it was to McKenna but it’s still too metallic and duochromey. Five-and-Ten, Katrina, and Judy are all too silvery, the two polishes from Vintage Vixen are way off, Chantilly Peach is too, well, peach, Louisa May is too warm, and Beatrice is too gold.

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.

Essie Bridal Comparisons - To Have & To Gold

From left to right: Getting Groovy (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Cheryl (Very Merry, Holiday 2015), Sienna (Metallics and Chromes, August 2012), Five-and-Ten (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016), Goldie but Goodie (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Swing Baby (Vintage Vixen, Autumn 2010), Rage (Foil FX, Spring 2010), To Have & to Gold, Worth a Pretty Penne (Venice, Autumn 20150, Beatrice (All Night Long, December 2015), Mercedes (Light & Shadow, November 2016), Million Dollar Views (Mulholland, Autumn 2016), Strike Up a Cosmo (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013)

The only stuff that’s super close to To Have & to Gold are Rage and Worth a Pretty Penne, Rage is more silvery and Worth a Pretty Penne is warmer and brighter.

Holiday 2016 Comparisons - OPI Five-and-Ten (Breakfast at Tiffany's)

From left to right: Glimmer (Classics), Whatever Lola Wants (collaboration with Kelly Ripa, 2007?), Rage (Foil FX, Spring 2010), Miss Independent (Liquid Metals, Spring 2011), Judy (All Night Long, December 2015), Five-and Ten, My Favorite Ornament (Mariah Carey Christmas, Holiday 2013), Getting Groovy (Getting Groovy, Holiday 2016), Beatrice (All Night Long, December 2015)

Glimmer and Whatever Lola Wants are so different I forgot why I put them in here (they’re both sheer toppers.) Rage is bronze and Miss Independent is pink, but I wanted to show them anyway. Beatrice is way too warm and Getting Groovy doesn’t have nearly enough silver to compare. My Favorite Ornament is a glitter, and it’s golder, but otherwise they’re pretty close. Judy and Five-and-Ten though are really close. Judy has a smidge more pink in the glitters but they’re almost exactly the same.

From left to right: Icicle (Let it Snow!, Holiday 2011), Five-and-Ten, Centennial Celebration (Coca-Cola Icons of Happiness, Summer 2015),

I wanted to show Five-and-Ten against a real silver foil just to show you that Five-and-Ten isn’t a silver foil in the slightest. I thought Centennial Celebration would be closer, but where Five-and-Ten is pink, Centennial Celebration is gold.
