OPI Texas- Comparisions
While swatching I was reminded of a couple other polishes, so I did some quick comparisons. Neither were dupes by far, but I figured I'd put them up because hey- if I thought it maybe someone else did too!
I Vont To Be A Lone Star vs China Glaze Sea Spray
In bottle these looked so similar I thought they would be dupes...
Nope, not the case! IVTBAS is more icy baby blue where Sea Spray is stormy. NEXT!
Don't Mess with OPI vs Jade is the New Black and Greenwich Village
Okay, Greenwich Village isn't anywhere near close but it was on hand so I threw it in for comparisons sake :)
On nail the order is a little different: JITNB, DMWO, Greenwich Village.
JITNB is a touch more blue but unless you love love love greens you probably don't need both. I prefer DMWO.
Not Like the Movies vs Totally Fort-Worth It
Alright, you can tell in bottle these aren't at all alike. But they have a lot of similarities. They are both the same weird silver-grey with pink shimmer just in very different ways.

Sally Hansen Purple Gala vs Milani Dot Com


I thought it looked familiar (although somehow they never do in stores lol) and I realized it reminded me of Hard Candy Mr. Wrong and Milani Dot Com. After much looking I can't seem to spot my bottle of Mr. Wrong so for a comparison of those check out PerryPie! Here it is compared to Dot Com:
Yup, totally not dupes or even close. Dot Com does have gold shimmer but it is much more subtle than Purple Gala. The purple base is really close but Dot Com's stands out a little better.

Confetti Pink Paradise- OPI Bubble Bath dupe
I am totally loving Confetti. I've yet to try a bad polish and at $1.99 a bottle that is really saying something. I have some other Confetti swatches for you but only one today. I wanted to give this one its own post because it is either damned close or a total dupe for OPI Bubble Bath. Pink Paradise is a pretty pale sheer pink. I needed 3 coats to be satisfied with coverage. I think this would have gone on a little better if I wasn't so speedy when I swatch but it is pretty darn good on all fingers but the middle...

Confetti Pink Paradise- 3 coats

OPI Bubble Bath vs Confetti Pink Paradise- 3 coats each

I think that BB could have used a 4th coat (especially on the pointer) but if you look in the first picture they are pretty darn close- especially on the middle and ring fingers. PP might be a slight smidgen whiter than BB. What do you think?
And here is a picture of Apollo wearing a giraffe hat. She sees wut u did thar.

Sally Hansen Commander In Chic
Before I get to the Commander can I just rant for a moment? I would like to know WHY the UPS man thinks it's okay to leave my packages- my NAIL MAIL at the wrong apartment. It can't be that complicated- the doors have these weird number things on them! My neighbor has even told them it's the wrong apartment- he just doesn't care. Let me mention that I don't live in a big tall apartment building but a building with a bunch of apartments one right next to another. We are the last apartment in our building and the packages are left on the FIRST apartment- not even close! It also is conveniently the apartment closest to where the park. I think he is lazy and if I ever catch him doing this he will have a well polished foot somewhere very uncomfortable...
*deep sigh* Anyways, Sally Hansen Commander in Chic is one of those mushroomy (mmm mushrooms) taupe brown and ever so slightly purple shades I love so much. This one was a little darker than the others I own. Application was good. This is one of the Complete(ly overpriced) manicure polishes and I'm getting used to the brush as I try more of these (wide but rounder than the Insta-Dri line). This was 3 coats- probably could have been 2 if I didn't swatch so darn quick. And it was a PIA this get pictures of for some reason.

Commander in Chic- 3 coats. Dark brooding mushroom goodness.
And here is a comparison of Commander in Chic vs China Glazes Channelesque




CIC, Channelesque, CIC, Channelesque

Channelesque, CIC, Channelesque, CIC
So yeah, not as close as I expected. Commander is quite a bit darker. I can see reason for having both so there ya go ;)
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
