Summer 2017 Comparisons - Zoya River (Wanderlust)


Man, there’s just no way I can ever get Royal Navy to look right…



From left to right: Selene (Paradise Sun, Summer 2015), So Blue without You (Happy Holiglaze, Holiday 2013), Kiss the Girl (Ever Glaze), Charla (Sparkle, Summer 2010), Emily (Topaz for December, December 2015), River, Do You Sea What I Sea (Fiji, Spring 2017), Tallulah (Ooh-La-La, Summer 2009), Song (Diva, Autumn 2012), Sanaa (Sapphire for September, September 2015), Loot the Booty (Viva Antigua, Summer 2016), Royal Navy (In the Navy, Summer 2010)

Just as I thought, River and Do You Sea are dead on dupes. Emily is also kind of close, but it’s got a different shimmer. Tallulah has a less visible shimmer.

Misc. Comparisons - Essie All Hands on Deck (Shimmer Brights)


In the future I might make a better comparison shot for the four China Glaze green sparklies, Running in Circles, Watermelon Rind, Emerald Sparkle, and Glittering Garland!



From left to right: Irene (Utopia, Holiday 2007), Viva Antigua! (Viva Antigua, Summer 2016), Custom Kicks (Kicks, Summer 2009), Ivanka (Sparkle, Summer 2010), Cher (Emerald for May, Birthstone May 2015), All Hands on Deck, Standing Ovation (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), Selene (Paradise Sun, Summer 2015), Running in Circles (Cirque Du Soleil, Holiday 2012), Watermelon Rind (Summer Days, Summer 2009), Emerald Sparkle (Sleigh Ride, Holiday 2008), Glittering Garland (Let it Snow, Holiday 2011)

Yeah… I have nothing like All Hands on Deck… like, at all.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Don't Teal My Vibe (Spring Fling)




From left to right: I’ll Take Manhattan (New York Marquee, Autumn 2014), Teal the Cows Come Home (Brighter by the Dozen, Summer 2006), Beauty & the Beach (Fiji Fling, Summer 2006), Don’t Teal My Vibe, Trophy Wife (Dive Bar, Holiday 2011), Giovanna (Satins, Autumn 2013), Selene (Paradise Sun, Summer 2015), Rule Breaker (Wild at Heart, Autumn 2009), Emerald Empowered (Spring 2014), Paulina (New York Never Sleeps, October 2015), Watermelon Rind (Summer Days, Summer 2009)

Watermelon Rind is a glass fleck, it’s a similar color, but not finish. Likewise I’ll Take Manhattan is a chrome and has a lot of silver and is still a little lighter. Teal the Cows has less green, Paulina and Emerald Empowered are darker. Rule Breaker is more green, Selene and Giovanna are brighter, and Trophy wife has less blue in it. Beauty & the Beach is by far the closest. It’s a bit more blue, but you don’t need both.
