Velvet Kaleidoscope is like a less blingy version of Space Cadet, a pinker version of Phoenix Rising, and a less green version of Virginia.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Orly Silken Quartz (Velvet Dream)

From left to right: Monique (Lighten Up, March 2016), Take a Right on Bourbon (New Orleans, Spring 2016), Magical (Romantiques, Spring 2009), Lullaby of Broadway (New York Marquee, Autumn 2014), Kay (Modern Smolder, February 2016), Silken Quartz, Lauren (Classics), Wilma (Rainbow Bright, May 2016), Press * For Silver (Starlight, Holiday 2015), Voyeuristic Adventure (Secret Society, Holiday 2013), Front Page (Infamous, Holiday 2015), Cosmo-Not Tonight Honey! (Russia, Autumn 2007), Seashell (Core)

Silken Quartz is a lot like Zoya’s old Lauren, but Silken Quartz has a much thicker formula. Wilma is a little darker.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Orly November Fog (Velvet Dream)

From left to right: As Seen on TV (La La Land, Spring 2017), Baguette Me Not (S’il Vous Play, Summer 2017), I’m Gown for Anything! (Alice Through the Looking Glass, Summer 2016), Heather (Bouquet, Spring 2006), Megan (Feel, Winter 2011), Abby (Charming, Spring 2017), November Fog, All Day Sucker (Sweets for My Sweet, Spring 2016), Alexa (Drenched, July 2015), Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Caitlin (Intimate, Spring 2011)

November Fog is actually rather close to Abby, closer than I was expecting it to be. All Day Sucker is also super duper close.

I actually don’t have anything exactly like Just Bitten because of its slightly jellyish finish. Demi is closest in color but it’s more opaque. Rekha is lighter.

Oops! Forgot Courtney (Urban Grunge, Autumn 2016). It’s close but darker.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Orly Blue Suede (Velvet Dream)

That jolt of brightness in Blue Suede makes it incredibly unique. The closest I have is Blagger; Blue Suede is like a mix of Blagger and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Orly Black Cherry (Velvet Dream)

From left to right: Audrina (Gossip, Summer 2008), Paige (Uptown, Autumn 2007), Black Cherry, Hayley (Modern Smolder, February 2016), Margo (Entice, Autumn 2014), Toni (Designer, Autumn 2012), Beverly (Poolside, July 2014), Tara (Urban Grunge, Autumn 2016), Stacy (Wonderful, Autumn 2010), Cassandra (Kisses, London, September 2015), Monica (Designer, Autumn 2012), Charmed I’m Sure (Autumn Nights, Autumn 2013), Joanne (Friendsgiving, November 2014)

I have nothing at all like Black Cherry (although admittedly I’ve skipped similar shades from previous collections in the past. Margo is closest but it’s darker. Paige is lighter and dustier.
