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.

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 bottles
OPI Bubble Bath vs Confetti Pink Paradise- 3 coats each
OPI Bubble Bath vs Confetti Pink Paradise
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.

Huge drugstore haul and Orly Rage vs Milani I'm Online
First off, has anyone else been getting errors when trying to upload pictures since they changed the upload form? Every time I try to post I end up frustrated. It also doesn't seem to let me change the order pictures are in once uploaded?
Anyways, I had a major drug store haul this past week (while searching for that darned Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure) and here are my findings:
8 Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's: Sea Breeze, Presto Pink, Speedy Sunburst, Rapid Red, Flyin'Fuschia, Night Flight, Pronto Pink and Whirlwind White (I LOVE these polishes, they are the best for Konading and for painting my pups black claws), 2 Revlon Scented polishes in Grape Icy and Gum Drop and another Revlon I don't remember the name of (something paradise, will update later). Laying down we have Romantic Blossom from SH, 2 bottles of SH Magic and another SH all dollar store finds.
Here are some more dollar store finds! I've been searching for these forever and finally struck gold! I don't remember the names right now but I grabbed a second bottle of Fire Opal (the 3rd and 4th bottles) to giveaway since it is HTF. A couple Wet N Wild new shades (can't remember and Night Prowl), Milani I'm Online and Dot Com and Hard Candy Lava (going in the giveaway) and Sweet Pea.
Cover Girl Wetslicks Amazemint- this stuff is amazing! It is minty goodness (best for the bar if you don't feel like chewing gum ;), the two new NYC liquid eyeliners and blush sticks, L'Oreal eyeliner (can't recall the name because it is ridiculous) and Poshe top coat.
Alba facial toner and scrub, L'Oreal Go 360 Clean for sensitive skin and Burt's Bees Peppermint and Thoroughly Therapeutic foot creams.You can expect a bunch of reviews in the next few days, not so much the polish but the rest. But there will always be a nice dose of polish attached, I promise ;)
I had to pick up Milani I'm Online so I could swatch it against Orly Rage. I'm drawn to rose golds, always have been. When I was 13 I had a rose gold ring from Avon and I decided then and there my wedding ring would be rose gold...hubby did not disappoint! I have some swatches of Orly Rage by itself but it is so hard to capture metallics. In the above picture Orly Rage is on my 1st and 3rd fingers (pointer and ring) and Milani I'm Online is on my 2nd and 4th (middle and pinkie). They are nearly dead ringers, I'm Online has a touch more silver to it but do you need both of them? Nah. In fact Rage is going up for swap, I feel like the tiny touch of silver makes I'm Online lean a little more rosey than copper and I like it that way.

China Glaze High Hopes from Up & Away
This color is kinda meh to me. From the swatches I was expecting it to be less red. In the bottle it looks like it leans a little more towards pink but on the nails it is very red. Application was nice, a simple 2 coater. You can still see the nail line through but I think another coat would have covered it. No chips before removing but I honestly didn't wear this long. Probably going to swap this one out!
After applying it I realized I had a couple colors that were basically the same so here are some comparisons.
OPI Most Honorable Red, China Glaze High Hopes, Avon Coral Bikini
OPI Most Honorable Red, China Glaze High Hopes, Avon Coral Bikini
OPI Most Honorable Red, China Glaze High Hopes, Avon Coral Bikini- 2 coats eachAs you can see these are almost exactly the same, maybe a shade off either way. OPI and CG even had the same coverage.
