Holiday 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Queen of Sequins (The Glam Finale) - Part 1

From left to right: Dora (Stroke of Midnight Mystery Box, December 2016), Opening Night (A Night at the Opera, Autumn 2013), India (Ignite, Autumn 2014), Roxy (Masquerade), You’re So Vain (Seven Deadly Sins, Autumn 2014), Queen of Sequins, Bad Romance (Autumn 2010), Glamcore (Street Regal, Autumn 2017), Rendezvous with You (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Delia (Diamonds Forever Mystery Box, November 2016), Songbird Serenade (My Little Pony, Summer 2017)

Queen of Sequins seems to be taking some cues from Roxy (which is lighter and the glitter is chunkier), You’re So Vain (a texture and a little cooler in tone but otherwise similar), and Bad Romance (way chunkier but a similar color scheme). It’s also a glitzier version of Glamcore from the fall.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze The Perfect Holly Day (The Glam Finale) - Part 1

Fun fact: I actually bought Outta Bounds specifically to compare to The Perfect Holly Day because the early promo pics looked a lot like Outta Bounds, but in person they’re really different!

From left to right: Just a Little Embellishment (Street Regal, Autumn 2017), Outta Bounds (Ski, Winter 2007), Sarai (Sun Crush, May 2017), Sonia (Switch Up, November 2015), Rule Breaker (Wild at Heart, Autumn 2009), The Perfect Holly Day, Baroque Jungle (Street Regal, Autumn 2017), Tongue & Chic (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Tabitha (Sophisticates, Autumn 2017), Licorice (Kandee Johnson Vintage Matte)

Like Santa’s Side Chick, The Perfect Holly Day is a matte. The other mattes here are Just a Little Embellishment (not even close, but because it’s so new I thought it was worth throwing in), Sarai (which is a lot brighter), Sonia (which is too blue), and Licorice (which is a black base with green shimmer). With top coat The Perfect Holly Day would be similar to Baroque Jungle.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Santa's Side Chick (The Glam Finale) - Part 1

From left to right: Flame-boyant (Summer Reign, Summer 2017), Rosaline (Very Merry, Holiday 2015), Velvet Rope (Dance to the Musique, Autumn 2008), Color to Diner For (Touring America, Autumn 2011), Santa’s Side Chick, Marina (Sun Crush, May 2017), Chasing Rubies (Lady in Red, Autumn 2017), After Sex (Luscious, Autumn 2004), Red-y and Willing (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013)

Santa’s Side Chick is a matte, the only other mattes here are Flame-boyant (Which I threw in because it was China Glaze’s other red matte this year but it’s nowhere near close), and Marina, which is close but the shimmer in Marina is green instead of gold. The closest polishes in color, even though they aren’t mattes, are Velvet Rope and Color to Diner For.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze New Year New Boo (The Glam Finale) - Part 1

From left to right: Front Page Worthy (Gala Bolds, Summer 2017), Under the Stars (Coastal Crush, Summer 2017), New Year, New Boo, Right Off the Bat (MLB Fashion Plate, Summer 2014), Scandalous Shenanigans (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Rodeo Fanatic (Rodeo Diva, Autumn 2008), Midnight Moonlight

New Year New Boo is a lot inkier than everything else here, but Right Off the Bat and Scandalous Shenanigans are incredibly close, just brighter and more silvery.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Slay Bells Ring (The Glam Finale) - Part 1

From left to right: Harley (Twist, Spring 2009), Fashion Faceoff (Gala Bolds, Summer 2017), Gossip Over Gimlets (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Slay Bells Ring, Don’t Take Yosemite For Granite (California Dreaming, Summer 2017), On the Wild Side (Wild at Heart, Autumn 2009), Kiss My Glass (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), After Hours (Dance to the Musique, Autumn 2008), Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous (Swiss, Autumn 2010), Show Time (In True Fashion, Autumn 2012), Nancy (Black Magic, October 2014)

Harley and Fashion Faceoff are too light, and the stuff on the right is too dark. Gossip Over Gimlets is the closest in color, but they’re quite different in finish. Closer in finish is On the Wild Side (which is a lot more blue) and Yosemite (which is pinker).

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Toast It Up and As Good as It Glitz (The Glam Finale) - Part 1

From left to right: Sweet Carmel Sunday (California Dreaming, Summer 2017), Best Ponies Forever (My Little Pony, Summer 2017), High Standards (Summer Reign, Summer 2017), Truth Is Gold (Street Regal, Autumn 2017), Toast It Up, Monique (Lighten Up, March 2016), Beth (Sophisticates, Autumn 2017), Magical (Romantiques, Spring 2009), As Good As It Glitz, To Have & To Gold (Bridal 2017), Reykjavik Has All the Hot Spots (Iceland, Autumn 2017), Fawne (Re-Cher-Che, Spring 2006)

Toast It Up is the lightest of the four golds China Glaze has come out with this year, and it comes close to Silken Quartz, Toast It Up is just a bit more gold and a bit more glitzy while Silken Quartz is more subdued. As Good As it Glitz is almost dead on a dupe to Magical, which I got on clearance over the summer which makes me think that maybe they’re phasing out Magical for As Good As it Glitz.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Sparkle On (The Glam Finale) - Part 1

From left to right: I’m Not Edible (Staccato, Spring 2013), The One that Got Away (Katy Perry, Spring 2011), Lisa (Flame, Holiday 2010), Rosaline (Very Merry, Holiday 2015), Sparkle On, Astra (Ultra Glitter, Holiday 2009), Wild Thing (Winter 2006) Fame and Fortune (Backstage Pass, Autumn 2011), Crimson and Clover (Lady in Red, Autumn 2017)

Astra is the only thing truly close to Sparkle On, the glitter is different but the concept is the same. Lisa and Rosaline are more similar in color palette but different glitter.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Teal the Fever (The Glam Finale) - Part 1

From left to right: Marlise (Trancing in the Moonlight, October 2017), Rina (Gems & Jewels, Holiday 2011), Teal the Fever, Ariel (Trancing in the Moonlight, October 2017)

Marlise and Ariel both have black glitter and Rina has bar glitter. Nothing here is close.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Big Hair & Bubbly (The Glam Finale) - Part 1

From left to right: Marisol (Bask in the Sun, June 2017), Yumi (It’s Your Time to Shine, July 2012), Big Hair & Bubbly, Jane, It’s My Party, Janice (Switch Up, November 2015)

Jane is the only glitter here that’s only one color like Big Hair & Bubbly, but it’s a lot more bronze. Marisol is a similar-ish color but a wildly different finish.

Holiday 2017 Comparisons - China Glaze Disco Ball Drop & Don't Be a Snow-Flake (The Glam Finale) - Part 1

From left to right: Don’t Be a Snow-Flake, Yumi (It’s Your Time to Sparkle, July 2012), Disco Ball Drop, It’s My Party, Trixy (Trancing in the Moonlight, October 2017)

I don’t really have too much on hand to compare these with, hence why I included Trixy. Yumi’s a bit like a more beige toned version of Disco Ball Drop.
