Hello everyone! I do apologise for the time it has taken me to get these comparisons up so I won't dilly dally any longer :) If you haven't seen it already, here is the link to my swatch and review post of the San Francisco collection.
Alright, let's get right into the comparisons! All swatches show two coats.
One of the requested comparisons was to see how similar In the cable car-pool lane and Anti-bleak were. In the cable car-pool lane has a crelly formula and is more berry toned compared to Anti-bleak, which is more purple toned and has a definite crème finish.
When I first saw Keeping Suzi at bay, it really reminded me of China Glaze First mate so I decided to put them side to side. No dupes here since First Mate is darker.
I decided to also do a side by side comparison of First date at the Golden Gate and Lost in Lombard since they look so similar within the collection. Next to each other though, you can definitely see Lost in Lombard is a darker red whereas First date at the Golden Gate leans more orange toned.
Lost in Lombard and Orly Ruby. They are very similar with Ruby being a touch brighter.
Haven't the foggiest and OPI Your royal shine-ness. No dupes here - Haven't the foggiest has a blue tinge to it.
Muir muir on the wall and OPI Every month is Oktoberfest. These two are very close too! Every month is Oktoberfest is a smidgen darker and more purple but it really isn't a huge difference. However, if I had to pick, I'd choose Every month is Oktoberfest simply because of that tiny difference :)
So there you have it! These are some nail polishes I found in my stash which were close (or I thought were close) to some of the San Francisco ones. I hope this helps with purchase decisions :)
Thanks for reading.
