Holiday 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Blue Skies (Crystal Prism) - Part 2

From left to right: Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Kristen (Feel, Winter 2011), Jessica (April 2012), Secret Peri-Wink-le (Operation: Colour, Autumn 2008), Blue Skies, Avenue Maintain (Madison Ave-Hue, Spring 2013), Udon Know Me (Kimono Over, Autumn 2016), Trudy (Lighten Up, March 2016), I Know What Boys Like (Summer 2011)

Blue Skies isn’t like anything else here, Virgin Snow, Kristen, and Jessica are too light, I Know What Boys Like is too dark, Udon Know Me and Trudy are too green, Avenue Maintain is too bright, and Secret Periwinkle is too saturated.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - Essie As If (As If) - Part 2

From left to right: Bevin (True, Spring 2012), Udon Know Me (Kimono Over, Autumn 2016), Lillian (Delight, Spring 2015), Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Kristen (Feel, Winter 2011), Matilda (Midsummer Light, June 2016), As If, Secret Peri-Wink-le (Operation: Colour, Autumn 2008), Jo (Twist, Spring 2009), Smooth Sailing (Braziliant, Summer 2011), Avenue Maintain (Madison Ave-Hue, Spring 2013)

As If calls to mind the classic China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le, actually they’re almost head on. As If is more purple and dustier but you don’t need both. Matilda is also similar but it’s noticeably brighter. Bevin, Udon Know Me, and Lillian are way too green, and Virgin Snow and Kristen are too light, and Avenue Maintain is too dark and bright. Jo and Smooth Sailing are of a similar base color but they have a very noticeable shimmer to them.

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.

Autumn 2017 Comparisons - OPI Check Out the Old Geysirs (Iceland)

Also, why didn’t I think to include Pepper in my Saint comparisons?

From left to right: Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Jessica (Express Yourself, March 2012), Kristen (Feel, Winter 2011), Sea of Love (Message in a Bottle, Spring 2017), Check Out the Old Geysirs, Cinderella (Spring 2012), Rayne (Delight, Spring 2015), One Polished Pony (My Little Pony, Summer 2017), Matilda (Midsummer Light, June 2016), Saint (Enchanted, Holiday 2016), Pepper (Rainbow Bright, May 2016), Jo (Twist, Spring 2009). Swatch Stick: China Glaze Boho Blues (Road Trip, Spring 2015)

Old Geysirs is kind of like Sea of Love with soft blue shimmer, but given that the shimmer doesn’t show up that much in Geysirs they’re close enough you don’t need both.

Summer 2017 Comparisons - Essie Blue-La-La (S'il Vous Play)

Note: I have the greener version of Mint Candy Apple, which is definitely different looking. For Audrey is also way darker.

From left to right: Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Jessica (April 2012), Kristen (Feel, Winter 2011/12), Sea of Love (Message in a Bottle, Spring 2017), My Boy Lollipop (Sweets for My Sweet, Spring 2016), Blue-La-La, Meet Me at the Rink (Poptastic Pastel Neons, Spring 2015), Liesl (Relax & Remix, April 2017), Lillian (Delight, Spring 2015), Suzi without a Paddle (Fiji, Spring 2017), Sailing & Nailing (Retro Summer, Summer 2016), Gelato on My Mind (Venice, Autumn 2015), I Believe in Manicures (Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holiday 2016)

Everything Sea of Love on left is too grayed and everything Liesl on right is too green, but Blue-La-La is pretty close to My Boy Lollipop and Meet Me at the Rink.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Deborah Lippmann Sea of Love (Message in a Bottle)

The stuff on the far right is far too green to compare to Sea of Love, but I thought you would want to see them.

From left to right: Megan, Carey, Kristen (all from Feel, Winter 2011/12), Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), Sea of Love, Jessica (April 2012), Matilda (Midsummer Light, June 2016), Secret Peri-wink-le (Operation: Colour, Autumn 2008), Udon Know Me (Kimono Over, Autumn 2016), My Boy Lollipop, Flowers in Her Hair (Spring Reveries, Spring 2014), For Audrey (Something Blue, Autumn 2007), Splish Splash (Happy Days, Summer 2016). Swatch Stick: China Glaze Boho Blues (Road Trip, Spring 2015)

Nothing I have here is an exact dupe to Sea of Love. Virgin Snow, Kristen, and Jessica, while in the same family, are lighter, and Matilda, Boho Blues, and Secret Peri-wink-le are darker. Sea of Love is also one of the grayest of the lot, barring the distinctly gray Carey. Kristen is the closest, but they’re not the same.

Spring 2017 Comparisons - Orly As Seen on TV (La La Land)

From left to right: Virgin Snow (Virgin Snow, Holiday 2015), I’m Gown for Anything! (Alice Through the Looking Glass, Summer 2016), Heather (Bouquet, Spring 2006), Abby (Charming, Spring 2017), All Day Sucker (Sweets for my Sweet, Spring 2016), Afternoon Delight (Afternoon Delight Sephora Exclusive, Spring 2016), As Seen on TV, Diggin’ the Dancing Queen (Poptastic Pastel Neons, Spring 2015), London (Afterglow, February 2015), Retreat Yourself (Active Colour, Spring 2017), Scenic Route (Pacific Coast Highway, Summer 2016), Gemini (Core line, Autumn 2013)

The only thing I have even kind of close to As Seen on TV is Diggin’ the Dancing Queen. It’s a little brighter (being a pastel neon), but the color is the closest.
