Comparison - Zoya Sansa and OPI First Class Desires

This comparison is going to be short and sweet because there really is no comparison.  These colors are dead on dupes of each other.  Can you tell them apart?  I can't either.  Needless to say, if you have one of these shades you certainly do not need the other.   

 

Index and Ring - Zoya Sansa

Middle and Pinky - OPI First Class Desires

Comparison - Zoya Genevieve, China Glaze Out Like A Light and China Glaze Concrete Catwalk

I was curious to see how these colors would compare.  I thought they would be very close and they are, but none of them are exact dupes.  I applied Zoya Genevieve on my index and pinky, China Glaze Out Like A Light on the middle and China Glaze Concrete Catwalk on my ring finger.  The difference between them is pretty subtle.  Genevieve seems to have a very slight pearl like sheen to it.  Out Like A Light is the same shade as Genevieve, but it's a pure crème polish.  There is only a slight shade difference with Concrete Catwalk which is also a pure crème polish.  It's just a tiny bit lighter than the other two.  So, if you were curious about how these colors compare, now you know!  If you already own one, you probably don't need the others.  Save that polish allowance for other colors to enjoy!  

 

Comparison - Simply Smashing and Gleek Out.

Here is a comparison that I did a while ago...  Sephora by OPI - Gleek Out (from the Glee Collection) and OPI - Simply Smashing (from the Serena Williams Collection).  Close, but not dupes!  Can I justify having both?  You know I can!  Gleek Out leans more green while Simply Smashing has a bit more yellow to it.  Reminds me of a sparkly tennis ball!  But, then again, I’m sure that’s what Serena was going for.  Love them both!

Comparison

Today I decided to compare China Glaze “Bogie” and Revlon “No Shrinking Violet.”  They are both in the gray-ed out purple shimmer category, but as you can see the shades are different enough to merit owning and enjoying both.  And I plan to do just that!  <<<wink and a smile>>>

A Comparison

Happy October Everyone!  Since Halloween is this month, let’s do a comparison of two orange shade polishes:  OPI "Atomic Orange" and "A Good Man-darin is hard to find." 

Do you see a difference?  Hardly.  A Good Man-darin is just a half shade darker (if that) than Atomic Orange.   I doubt that anyone would even notice that I was wearing two different colors if I left the house like this.  Why would OPI make two colors so close to the same shade?  No one needs to have both.  So, I’ll just have to close my eyes and pick which one to keep!   It won’t matter either way.   

The Search for Gold...

... the perfect “Steeler Gold” that is.

For quite some time I have been on the prowl for the perfect shade of yellow gold for my Steeler Manis.  I am happy to say that I believe my search is FINALLY over.

Above are my top three from left to right.  In third place we have, CHI “Sunny Romance of Saint Tropez.”   This was a bit thin.  You can see that even with three coats my nail line is still visible and it’s just a little too yellow.

Second place goes to China Glaze “Golden Opportunity.”  This is pretty close, but a bit on the mustard side.  Not a true Steeler Gold, but it will do.    

First place and the perfect Steeler Gold is, OPI “The IT Color.”  And it’s just that.... the IT color!  Go Steelers!!!
