Amy's Nail Boutique Orange A-Peel. This is a burnt-orange or blood orange type of color, not your typical bright orange. It's a jelly, too, so squishy. This is 3 coats, I believe, and it covered pretty well in Real Life, though there's a little VNL in the pix. This is absolutely gorgeous.
I started to do a comparison post, and I realized that I had swatched this a while ago, but never posted it. This is Literary Lacquers More Like Fire Than Light, a bright, squishy, fiery jelly orange holo. Ka-pow!
Bonus glitter pix! After I swatched Literary Lacquers More Like Fire Than Light, I put Tough As Nails Lacquer Orange Whip over it. Orange is such a great jelly color, and the glitters just swim around.
So, here's the comparison shot you've been waiting for! Drumroll, please:
The Chirality was the closest in color, but it's a crelly and doesn't have the same texture at all. The Chirality was also the only one-coater in the bunch. Born Pretty holo is close, but took 2 coats to get that nice, dark burnt orange color. Greatest Treasures looks similar in the bottle to the others, but on the nail is much more pink.
So, no dupes, but Chirality is close. From a distance, they all look pretty similar, though, which is probably why non-polish people think we're a little cuckoo. Let 'em. I know that I need 10 different variations of orange holo. And, don't even get me started on purple or blue holos.
Bottle shot: Amy's Nail Boutique Orange A-Peel, Chirality Just Before Dawn, Literary Lacquers More Like Fire Than Light, Literary Lacquers Greatest Treasures, and Born Pretty Store holo #5.

Do you have a fave orange holo? If you haven't seen it already, I did some stamping on Enkelini Laney Lou a while back, too. Is there one you like I didn't compare here?
I only own 1 holo in my collection but I really need to expand and get some more. Great orange holos you compared here though :)
ReplyDeleteone? how can you only have..one? I live for them, they are my fave. :) I would say I have too many, if it were possible. LOL. Hope you find one you like!
DeleteI love Literary Lacquers! Great polishes
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of LL, too. I bought the whole Green Gables collex, and love every one I've tried. :)
Deleteoooo what one to choose :)
ReplyDeletebuy ALL the holos! Really, you can't go wrong with any of these Indies. I have lots of their polishes, and they are all great, and they've had great customer service, too.
