Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Essie Saved by the Belle (As If) - Part 1

Aw, I wish I hadn’t gotten rid of OPI What’s the Double Scoop!

From left to right: Sun Daze (Sunrise Sunset, Summer 2017), Feathered Hair Out To There (Poptastic Pastel Neons, Summer 2015), Jordan (Charming, Spring 2017), Saved by the Belle, Baguette Me Not (S’il Vous Play, Summer 2017), Reese, Belle of a Baller (Spring Pastels, Spring 2017), Malibu Pier Pressure (California Dreaming, Summer 2017)

I was genuinely surprised how close Saved by the Belle and Baguette Me Not are. Baguette is a bit more purple, but they are both awful close. Jordan’s even closer, it’s a tiny bit brighter, but they’re super close. Sun Daze is way too peach, Feathered Hair is a neon (although the color is close), and Reese, Belle of a Baller, and Malibu Pier Pressure are warmer.

The only stuff I have that’s pretty close to Barking up the Wrong Sequoia is Sun Daze (which is lighter) and Who are You Calling a Shrimp (which is darker.)

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.
