Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Cheek to Cheek (Crystal Prism) - Part 2




From left to right: Sugar, Sugar (Sweets for My Sweet, Spring 2016), Shay (Touch, Winter 2012), Tiramisu for Two (Venice, Autumn 2015), Cheek to Cheek, Rue (Naturel, Spring 2014), Phyllis (Chrysalis, January 2015), Spencer (Naturel Deux, Autumn 2014), You've Got a Friend (I've Gotta Be Me, Holiday 2014), Girly, Suzi Sells Sushi by the Seashore (Japan, Spring 2005)

Tiramisu for Two and Rue are closest to Cheek to Cheek, but they both lack the subtle shimmer. Shay’s shimmer is different and it’s more peachy.

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.
