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 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.

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.

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!

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. :(

Swatch: Nabi Holographic L.Pink

I just received the China Glaze Autumn Nights collection so I'm trying to post more frequently now to clear all the Nabi polishes that I need to swatch and move on to the new China Glaze! Are you excited? :)

Today I have swatches of Nabi Holographic L.Pink!

Nabi Holographic L.Pink

Nabi Holographic L.Pink is a bright light pink with subtle coral-orange-ish holographic flash.

Nabi Holographic L.Pink

There are some things that I need to confess about this polish..

1) I thought I wouldn't like it. I was so wrong.. I absolutely love it! This might be the Nabi Holographic polish that I would wear the most. The pink is so pretty & so flattering on my skin! My friends spotted it on me and and fell in love too!

2) I thought it might be scattered holo as I wasnt able to see any holo in the polish initially. Wrong.. It is linear holo. It's very very subtle, barely there.. but it's there. Just a little hard to spot.

3) I thought it would be just another common pink holo polish. Wrong! I have absolutely nothing like it in my collection! None of them is such a bright & cheerful pink!

For comparison, as I said.. I didnt have anything similar in my collection, so I compared with another of the Nabi pinks.

Nabi Hot Pink is just a shade darker than Nabi L.Pink. Both are beautiful. If you have fair skin like me, both shades would probably look great on you too. :)
