Misc. Comparisons - Essie Catch of the Day (Shimmer Brights)

From left to right: I Got a Blue Attitude (Lite Brites, Summer 2016), Blagger (Spring 2011), Gladys (Dark and Stormy Nights, October 2016), Catch of the Day, Aruba Blue (?), Loot the Booty (Viva Antigua, Summer 2016), Up All Night (Patent Leather in the City, Spring 2006), Sleeping Under the Stars (The Great Outdoors, Autumn 2015), Royal Navy (In the Navy, Summer 2010)

Blue Attitude is really more purple; purples are notoriously hard to photograph. It looks nothing like Catch of the Day in person; I just wanted to compare it because the shimmer is similar (namely, impossibly hard to see on the nail!). I thought Blagger would be a good match to the base but it’s a lot more vibrant and green. Royal Navy has a strong light blue shimmer, and while a lot of the awesome red/gold shimmer in Sleeping Under the Stars doesn’t show up the base color is nevertheless a lot darker. Loot the Booty is in the same boat but darker and the shimmer shows up a lot better. Aruba Blue and Gladys are pretty close to Catch of the Day, but Aruba Blue is a metallic while Catch of the Day and Gladys are crèmes with shimmer. Gladys and Catch of the Day are actually really close!

China Glaze Rebel Comparisons - Combat Blue-ts

Other mattes:

From left to right: Sonia (Switch Up, November 2015), Combat Blue-ts, Rendee (Sun Crush, May 2017)
Sonia is a lot more teal than everything else, it doesn't photograph well but it's basically green compared to the other two. Rendee though is super close, just a little lighter, but it too has pink shimmer running through it like Combat Blue-ts. You don't need them both.

Non-mattes:

From left to right: Catch of the Day (Shimmer Brights/Aim to Misbehave, Summer 2016), Song (Diva, Autumn 2012), High on Hope (Spring 2013), Combat Blue-ts, Sleeping Under the Stars (The Great Outdoors, Autumn 2015), Russian Navy (Russia, Autumn 2007)

Combat Blue-ts has pink shimmer that won’t come out for the life of me. Sleeping Under the Stars is similar, but it’s more purple and the shimmer is more visible even in the bottle.
