OPI Swiss Collection Comparisons part 2

I hope I got all of the comparison requests.
If I missed yours or you have one let me know and I'll do my best.

OPI I'm Suzi and I'm a Chocoholic vs. Zoya Cola

Bottle pics
Chocoholic is more cool toned than Cola

In Shade
In the shade/low light they look close but Cola is more orange/brown based to ISaIaC is cooler toned and more brick, brown red.

Full Sun
Still close but definitly not dupes.

Bottles
Nearly identicle in the bottles. LLM has a touch more colored shimmers.


Full Sun
The only noticable difference is that LLM has a more Gray/brown base and Jitterbug has a bit bluer tone and more gun metal.

Bottles
Glitzerland is more true gold while Swing Baby has a Coppery shade.

Shade
Both are sheer, this is 2 coats of each. SB is a bit more opaque.

Full Sun
Ewwwwww.......
Glitzerland is very sheer and a true gold. Swing Baby is sheer and Copper with gold flecks.

I hope this is helpful.
P.S. Pardon my horribly dry yucky hands. I have been trying Lush, Lemony Flutter and my skin does not approve at all. Back to my Beloved Heavy Duty hand cream.


Requested Comparison's OPI Swiss Collection

I had a couple suggested possible dupes in the OPI Swiss collection
First William tell me about OPI vs. Lincoln Park after Dark
In the bottles they look like possible dupes. William tell me about OPI looks a bit lighter than LPAD.

Index and ring finger William tell me about OPI. Middle and pinky Lincoln Park after Dark.
On the nail you can see that WTmaO is a couple of shades lighter than LPAD.
Also William tell me about OPI is more toned wine where as Lincoln Park after Dark is more blackened Burgandy. For me they are different enough to own both.


Next up is Color so hot it Berns vs. Red my Fortune Cookie
At first glance the look pretty close.

CshiB looks a touch pinker.

On the nail top to bottm Color so hot it Berns, Red my fortune cookie, Color so hot it Berns, and Red my Fortune Cookie.

Index and ring finger Color so hot it Berns. Middle and pinky Red my Fortune Cookie.
Color so hot it berns is a pink toned red and Red my fortune cookie is orange based.

I hope this helps. If you have any other possible dupes please let me know and if I have both I am happy to compare them.

Comparison Racing Green vs. Dickweed (^o^)

I had a few peaople ask how close Barry M Racing green and Bleach Black Dickweed are
so a comparison you gets!

Bottle comparison Racing green looks warmer and darker to me.

Natural light

Indoors with flash

Indoors natural indirect light

In my lightbox

They are not at all dupes. They share the same finish but that is about it.
Dickweed is dark teal, obviously more blue and Racing green is a true emerald green with no blue tone and much darker. So if you thought you did not need one or the other, sorry but you need them both or more so I need and love them both!

Golden Rose #119 Black holographic and comparison

I know how cruel of me to leave you hanging.
Well here you are more pictures of #119 and it's dark holo sexiness!
Oh yes the base is black, not charcoal or brown.



Pardon my super dry gucky hands, these were at the end of the swatchfest and the acetone had taken it's toll

I left the last to giant so you can click and see the holo

Now the comparison.
I thought it would be helpful to compare #119 to Color club Revvvolution and Diamond Cosmetics Chainmail charm. (Sorry I don't have OPI MPJ origional holo to compare)

Golden Rose #119 is on my Index finger, CC Revvvolution on my middle and DC Chainmail charm on my ring finger.  Obviously #119 has a much darker base than both.

The holo in #119 is more like Chainmail charm in my opinion

Here you can tell that Chainmail has a more brown base than the other two but the holo is smoother.
I think that the dark base absorbs the light more so making photographing the holo a PITA. In real life #119 is as holo as the other two but more like the holo in OPI Designer Series holo's.
I have finally found my perfect Black holo, but the other two are different enough for me to keep all three.
