Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Zoya Presley & Joni (Sophisticates) - Part 1

Note: I don’t have Zoya’s Jana but I’d imagine it’s close to Presley.

Slide 1:

From left to right: Jill, Cathy (both from Naturel 3, Spring 2013), Shari (Friendsgiving, November 2014), The Look of Love (Bed of Roses, Spring 2017), High Society (Rebel Debutante, Spring 2010), Presley & Joni, Lay Lady Lay (Bed of Roses, Spring 2017), Uptown Girl (Rebel Debutante, Spring 2017), Mary (Naturel 3, Spring 2017),

I really thought Presley and Joni were a bit closer. It’s kind of hard to see but Shari is the lightest thing in this lineup. The two Naturel 3’s on the left are too light (closer to McKenna or Beth without the shimmer), and Mary on the far right is too brown. The Look of Love & High Society are Presley’s closest relatives I have here, The Look of Love is the most pink, High Society is the most brown, and Presley is the most purple. Joni’s closest relatives here are Lay Lady Lay and Uptown Girl, they’re all very, very close. Funny how those three collections (Zoya’s Sophisticates, Lippmann’s Bed of Roses, and Color Club’s Rebel Debutante) all have the same two shades in them!

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - OPI One Heckla of a Color! (Iceland)

From left to right: Afternoon Delight (Afternoon Delight Sephora Exclusive, Spring 2016), High Society (Rebel Debutante, Spring 2010), Candy Shop (Sugar High, Spring 2015), One Heckla of a Color, Faith (Spring to It, March 2017), Uptown Girl (Rebel Debutante, Spring 2010), Coming Up Roses (Bed of Roses, Spring 2017), Tina (Charming, Spring 2017), London (Afterglow, February 2015)

Candy Shop is a slightly dustier version of Heckla, and Faith is almost dead on were it not for the shimmer. High Society is more beige and Uptown Girl is more pink.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Essie Baguette Me Not (S'il Vous Play)

From left to right: Need a Vacation (Spring 2006), Uptown Girl (Rebel Debutante, Spring 2010), Something Sweet (Up & Away, Spring 2010), Wanderlust (Road Trip, Spring 2015), As Seen on TV (La La Land, Spring 2017), Baguette Me Not, I’m Gown for Anything! (Alice Through the Looking Glass, Summer 2016), Heather (Bouquet, Spring 2006), To Buy or Not to Buy (Navigate Her, Spring 2012), Megan (Feel, Winter 2011/12), Abby (Charming, Spring 2017), Afternoon Delight (Afternoon Delight Sephora Exclusive, Spring 2016)

Since Baguette Me Not has a pink undertone, I decided to throw in a real pink for comparison, but, it’s obviously not close. I also was thinking Uptown Girl was a lot lighter than it was, I’m very wrong. Afternoon Delight is also much darker. Something Sweet and Wanderlust, while both in the same boat, don’t have that much purple in them. Likewise Abby doesn’t have enough pink in it. Megan is also not as pink and dustier. To Buy or Not to Buy has some subtle pink and blue glitter in there, but otherwise it’s quite close to Heather and Gown for Anything. I think if you mixed As Seen on TV and Gown For Anything/Heather/To Buy, you’d get something like Baguette Me Not. As Seen on TV is darker and Gown For Anything/Heather/To Buy are lighter.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann The Look of Love & Lay Lady Lay (Bed of Roses)

From left to right: Dress Me Up (Colours from the Capitol/Hunger Games, Spring 2012), The Look of Love, Brigitte (Naturel, Spring 2014), Earth Angel (Painted Desert Sephora Exclusive, Summer 2015), Madeline (Naturel Deux, Autumn 2014), Odette (Naturel, Spring 2014), Lay Lady Lay, Uptown Girl (Rebel Debutante, Spring 2010), Let’s Stay Together (Originally from Recipe for Love mini set, Holiday 2014, here a Nordstrom Exclusive, Spring 2015). Bottom, Pink Chocolate (Classics)

The Look of Love is close to Dress Me Up and Brigitte. It’s in between them in terms of pinkness. Earth Angel is also pretty close, but it has a gold shimmer running through it. Lay Lady Lay is a little darker than Odette and a little lighter than Uptown Girl and Let’s Stay Together.

Holiday 2016 Comparisons: Deborah Lippmann Ever After (Her Majesty)

Note: Once I get into Spring colors, I’ll be sure to compare Ever After and everything in the Bed of Roses set!

From Left to Right: Dress Me Up (Capitol Colors/Hunger Games, Spring 2012), Brigitte (Naturel, Spring 2014), Ever After, Madeline (Naturel Deux, Autumn 2014), Suzi Sells Sushi by the Seashore (Japan, Spring 2005), Aphrodite’s Pink Nightie (Greek Isles, Spring 2004), Uptown Girl (Rebel Debutante, Spring 2010). Swatch stick: China Glaze My Lodge Or Yours (The Great Outdoors, Autumn 2015)

My bottle of Dress Me Up is really showing its age, I thought it was darker. When it dries it’s a bit darker but it’s always more brown tone. Uptown Girl is way darker, so are Sushi and Aphrodite, but they’re also brighter and shimmery. The three things I have that are closest to Ever After are Brigitte, Madeline, and Lodge (I only have this in a mini, so I just decided to use my swatch stick instead.) Madeline’s a bit darker, but it’s still very close. Ever After, Brigitte, and Lodge are all really close. You don’t need all three.
