Showdown! The battle of the greens.

The fall collections this year are full of beautiful colours, and army green seems to be a trend among a lot of different brands. The first two I picked up were from China Glaze-Westside Warrior, and OPI- Uh Oh Roll down the Window. I have often heard the question asking how these two compare to each other. So today, I have compared them for you, along with two other greens from my collection.

The four we will be comparing today are-

OPI Uh Oh Roll down the window

China Glaze Westside Warrior

Orly Enchanted Forest

Joe Fresh Moss ( this is a dupe for Zoya Shawn)

On with the show!

First up is the comparison most requested. This is OPI and China Glaze.

From left to right I have China Glaze WsW on my index and ring fingers, and OPI UORDTW on my middle and pinky fingers.

While they both have smooth application with no streaking or drag, Westside is noticeably more opaque and perhaps a little thicker. It's actually a one coater, where as Uh Oh definitely requires two, or even three coats.

Westside is darker, and a little less murky and less yellow. 

I can't say that I necessarily prefer one colour over the other, and I would say they are different enough to own both.

Here are the same polishes, just another view.

Please ignore the little cotton fuzz that was hitchin' a ride.

Here we have Westside on the index and ring fingers still, and ORLY Enchanted Forest on the middle and pinky fingers.

The Orly is darker and pulls more blue than Westside Warrior. Definitely a two coater. The first coat looks a little streaky but it evens out easily with the second coat.

Same polish placement again, different angle.

This one is Joe Fresh Moss on the index and ring fingers, and OPI Uh Oh on the middle and pinky fingers. Moss is a deeper darker colour, with yellow undertones like Uh Oh, but dark like Enchanted Forest. Moss has great application, very smooth, very pigmented. Not at opaque as the China Glaze, but with careful application you could get away with one coat.

The following three photos are all four polishes side by side.

Index Finger-OPI UhOh roll down the window

Middle Finger-China Glaze Westside Warrior

Ring Finger-Orly Enchanted Forest

Pinky Joe Fresh Moss

I hope this helps you out some, and doesn't confuse you further.

They are all gorgeous polishes, and any of them will have you right on trend for fall.

Thanks for looking!

Essie Tart Deco

Hope everyone had a great weekend! It is hot hot HOT here, and humid. No complaints though after a late start to summer this year. Going with the orange trend lately, I decided to show you Tart Deco by Essie. It's a beautiful orangey peach shade, with great application. There have been some reports of people having issues with top coat changing the colour of the polish. I personally have not had this issue, but it might depend on which top coat you are using. So what I have done is taken photos of it without top coat, and with top coat on just two fingers, and then also with a different top coat on the other two fingers.

So first up is indoors, with no top coat on any of them.

Now due to my lack of professional lighting,  the ring and pinky fingers appear to be darker even with out topcoat. In reality they are all the same.

This is outdoors (in case you thought I planted petunias inside teehee) with no top coat on any of them. Thanks to Mr, Sun there is more consistency in the colour here.

Here I have Color Club Vivid top coat on the pinky and ring fingers only. There really isn't any difference even though in this pic the index finger appears to be lighter. It real life it was not. The index and middle finger both are with out top coat.

This photo is indoors.

This is outside with top coat on the pinky and ring fingers only.

This one is indoors with top coat on all fingers. Color Club Vivid on pinky and ring, 

and OPI DS top coat on middle and index.

No difference at all.

And just for fun, because I love nail art, I added some little daisies.

Hope this comparison helps.

thanks for looking.
