Comparison: China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave vs Thistle Do Nicely vs Strike A Rose

Like I've said, there's quite a few pinks in the China Glaze City Flourish collection so I thought I'll do a comparison between them, and with some others!



China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave vs China Glaze Strike A Rose

China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave vs China Glaze Strike A Rose

China Glaze Strike A Rose: Middle Finger, Pinky
China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave: Index Finger, Ring Finger

China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave vs China Glaze Strike A Rose

The difference between these 2 is quite obvious, Strike A Rose is creamy with shimmers while Peonies & Park Ave is just neon.

Strike A Rose is also darker, slightly magenta.



China Glaze Strike A Rose vs China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely

China Glaze Strike A Rose vs China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely

China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave: Index Finger, Ring Finger
China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely: Middle Finger, Pinky

China Glaze Strike A Rose vs China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely

Both of these 2 polishes are bright neons with Peonies & Park Ave more pink with a hint of rose, while Thistle Do Nicely is more coral.



China Glaze Peonies & Park Ave vs China Glaze Heat Index

So I've found a dupe!(almost). Peonies & Park Ave is most likely just the creme version of China Glaze Heat Index.

Heat Index is just a teeny bit brighter and of course sheer, but I think that's just due to the difference in finishing. My boyfriend couldn't tell that they're 2 different polishes until I told him so I think we can safely say they're actually the same color here!



China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely vs China Glaze Shell-O

Another almost dupe here between China Glaze Thistle Do Nicely and China Glaze Shell-O.

You can also tell from the pictures that Shell-O is brighter and shinier. Again, I think is due to the jelly finishing of Shell-O.



The colors are nice, but I would definitely prefer the Jellies from the Neons On The Shore collection compared to these creme ones.

I seriously hope China Glaze would come up with some new colors rather than taking the same colors and put them in different formulas. I feel kind of cheated. :(

Comparison: China Glaze At Vase Value

China Glaze At Vase Value is a pale minty aqua creme polish that looks blue besides a green, and looks green besides a blue. Go figure.

For today's comparison, I'll be doing China Glaze's At Vase Value vs the following:

China Glaze Re-fresh Mint
China Glaze Aquadelic
Essie Borrowed & Blue



China Glaze At Vase Value vs China Glaze Re-fresh Mint

China Glaze At Vase Value vs China Glaze Re-fresh Mint

China Glaze At Vase Value: Middle Finger, Pinky
China Glaze Re-fresh Mint: Index Finger, Ring Finger

China Glaze At Vase Value vs China Glaze Re-fresh Mint

Placed beside China Glaze Re-fresh Mint, which is a pure light mint green, At Vase Value is looking totally light sky blue here.



China Glaze At Vase Value vs China Glaze Aquadelic

China Glaze At Vase Value vs China Glaze Aquadelic

China Glaze At Vase Value: Middle Finger, Pinky
China Glaze Aquadelic: Index Finger, Ring Finger

China Glaze At Vase Value vs China Glaze Aquadelic

My swatch looked a little too blue here, both of them are actually slightly teal with Aquadelic being more green.



China Glaze At Vase Value vs Essie Borrowed & Blue

China Glaze At Vase Value vs Essie Borrowed & Blue

China Glaze At Vase Value: Middle Finger, Pinky
Essie Borrowed & Blue: Index Finger, Ring Finger

China Glaze At Vase Value vs Essie Borrowed & Blue

Surprisingly, this is actually the closest comparison I can get for At Vase Value. Placed beside Essie Borrowed & Blue, a pale baby blue, the green in At Vase Value finally managed to show through.

China Glaze At Vase Value is certainly becoming my favorite creme blue to use. Such a pretty & unique color!

Someone did commented on one of my posts that At Vase Value is actually the aqua blue version of Essie Mint Candy Apple, but I don't have that polish to compare with. So you have that one, please do a comparison for us! :)

Comparison: China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs Light As Air vs OPI Rumple's Wiggin

Okay, I know I've said that I would be doing comparisons for the China Glaze City Flourish collection, but I'm kinda busy these days.. So I'll be doing them one by one so if I dont have time to do all of them, at least I'll have some up.

So here's the first comparisons, it's for China Glaze In A Lily Bit!

China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs China Glaze Light As Air
China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs China Glaze Light As Air

Once I saw China Glaze In A Lily, I immediately wondered how it compares to China Glaze Light As Air.. so here it is!

China Glaze In A Lily Bit: Middle Finger, Pinky
China Glaze Light As Air: Index Finger, Ring Finger

China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs China Glaze Light As Air
China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs China Glaze Light As Air
They're both light pinkish purple, but China Glaze Light As Air is a more dusty purple, while China Glaze In A Lily Bit is brighter and more pink.



China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs OPI Rumple's Wiggin

And of course, we can't miss out OPI Rumple's Wiggin.

China Glaze In A Lily Bit: Middle Finger, Pinky
OPI Rumple's Wiggin: Index Finger, Ring Finger

China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs OPI Rumple's Wiggin
China Glaze In A Lily Bit vs OPI Rumple's Wiggin
OPI Rumple's Wiggin is actually quite similar to China Glaze In A Lily Bit, but just a shade more purple.

I haven't been using my OPIs for awhile and I must say I really love OPI's pro-wide brush!. Totally no clean-up for OPI and check out how nicely curved it is!



So that's all for China Glaze In A Lily Bit. Let me know if this is helpful! :)
