Periwinkle Comparison

In these pictures my first two fingers (on the left) are Essie Lapis of Luxury and the two fingers on the right are China Glaze Secret Peri-wink-le. Honestly in these photos you can't even tell that the Essie polish has a jelly-like consistency. They look extremely similar, although China Glaze may be a bit blue-er and a bit brighter, whereas the Essie seems a little washed out. But honestly these are really minute differences. Plus, the China Glaze polish is not only cheaper, but it is a part of China Glaze's core line - so it can be found at any Sally's store. Plus the formula is 109728109230498 times better. I really hated the Essie resort collection. Both this polish and Turquoise and Caicos were really watery, sheer, and uncontrollable (in my opinion). They were just too hard to work with.

Dark Green Comparison: OPI v. Orly

Well unfortunately I still have not discovered how to actually write on my pictures that I upload. So from here on out I will write out the names on pieces of paper and take pictures with those written labels. But here we have OPI Here Today Aragon Tomorrow v. Orly Enchanted Forest. 

Okay so, Left to Right we have: Enchanted Forest, Here Today Aragon Tomorrow, EF, HTAT

As you can see, Enchanted Forest is a heck of a lot lighter and a lot greener. As well as bluer. It has a teal feel to it, at least when it is compared to HTAG, which I feel has more of a murky, olive green/yellowish undertone. 

Here Today Aragon Tomorrow, and Enchanted Forest. 

P.S. Sorry for the ugly, dry cuticles. They have gotten a lot better since I took this picture last month.
