Hello :)
Today I have some
comparisons for you. Please excuse the messy cuticles-I was angered by one of
the polishes and got very impatient. Well then, onto the pictures! (BTW, all
the photos were taken in direct sunlight, but not outside.)
First, we have some
yellows:

 |
On my pinky is NYC Midtown Mimosa, the middle is OPI Need
Sunglasses?, and the pointer is Zoya Creamy. Obviously, the odd man out is
Creamy, but she's actually my favorite of the bunch. Great formula, only
required two coats—plus no streaks. Need Sunglasses? was misbehaving today. It
was streaky and required three coats just for me to get it like that: still
streaky. I gave up and just took the picture. As for Midtown Mimosa, you really
hate it on the first two coats because it's so sheer and streaky, you almost
want to give up. But on the third coat, it really evens itself out and opaques
(yes, I made that word up) up. So, if you're looking for dupes, Need Sunglasses?
and Midtown Mimosa are the ones.
Next, the pinks:
Grrrrr…what's the point in having a comparison post if the colors don't even come out right? The thumb is two coats of OPI Suzi's Hungary Again! And the pointer is two coats of OPI That's Hot! Pink. Well, again I apologize for messy painting. So, you guys can't even see if there's a difference in color, but there is. That's Hot! Pink is much more true hot pink and purple toned than SHA, and SHA is more
coral-y than THP.
And finally, shimmery, glittery blue-ish gold-ish polishes:
The pinky is Wet n Wild Fast Dry Teal of Fortune. Ring is
Zoya Charla, and the middle is China Glaze Dorothy Who?. No dupes here,
obviously. Charla has much more gold flecks/shimmer/glitter than either of the
other polishes, Teal of Fortune has the least glitter/flecks altogether, and DW has
more blue glitter than gold glitter or shimmer.
Well, hope you
enjoyed this post, messy cuticles and bad photography and all :)
