Rescue Beauty Lounge - Squarepants, Sally Hansen - Yellow Kitty, China Glaze - Lemon Fizz, BB Couture - Little Deuce Coupe
From left to right:Squarepants - 4 coats
Yellow Kitty - 3 coats
Lemon Fizz - 2 coats
BB Couture - 2 coats
Squarepants is of course a jelly, and Yellow Kitty falls somewhere in between jelly and creme. Lemon Fizz is very creamy and opaque and applied like a dream, and Little Deuce Coupe is right behind. Lemon Fizz is clearly the brightest.
Next up is the sunshine yellows. This comparison was inspired by SalvagedExpression who asked about a comparison about over a month ago! Here it is girl!
Sally Hansen - Lightening, China Glaze - Happy Go Lucky, Diamond Cosmetics - Lemon Yellow Zest, OPI - The "It" Color
From Left to right:Lightening
Happy Go Lucky
Lemon Yellow Zest
The "It" Color
All were 3 coats with the exception of The "It" Color at four. Happy Go Lucky was super close to being 2 coats. I was really rooting for it. It looked pretty good at 2, but I had to do three for the pic because it did have a slight streak to it. Too bad. I really wanted to report that it was a 2 coater like Lemon Fizz. Anyway, yet again, China Glaze is the brightest, Lightening is right behind, and Lemon Yellow Zest and The "It" Color step down respectively to darker/more orange.
So the discovery I spoke of was just that both of the China Glaze yellows were the brightest against their competitors. Also, they had phenomenal application. Lemon Fizz is an incredible 2 coater, and I think you could get Happy Go Lucky on in 2. It has the potential, I just missed it and had to go for 3.
This Up & Away Collection is really knocking my socks off!

Love the China Glaze nail polishes!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this comparison! I've been lemming a mustardy yellow for a while now (as you know I suppose!) and this is incredibly helpful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this! i can't wait for my Up and Away collection to arrive! It should be here soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd Salvaged Expression, OPI The It Color is THE best mustardy yellow around!
Great swatches! Thanks so much for the comparisons! The first 4 yellows do kind of look really alike..
ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome swatch comparison!! I like Lemon Fizz the best :) I have a NY Color called Yellow Taxi Creme that looks similar to the first four yellows... I wonder how it compares.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comparison!
ReplyDeleteYour yellows all look fantastic on the nail! I know that yellows are typically hard to apply and look streaky but you make them look like butter lol.
ReplyDeleteI have a few of these but I think I want a few more!
WOW theyre so similar! thanks for doing this (=
ReplyDeleteThanks! This is super useful! I agree with Get Nailed - you made these look great.
ReplyDeleteNow...how do you feel about Squarepants now? Worth it's price? I think not!
ReplyDeleteGo China Glaze! It's been a winner in my book for a while. =)
Yhanks for the great post. I haven't seen a yellow comparison in a long time!
ReplyDeleteso square pants takes four coats to apply? hmm, i am still kinda lemming for it,but not as much.
ReplyDeletethank you for these swatches!
Thanks for the comparison! I'm not really into yellows, but after seeing these shades I must say I'm starting to like 'em!
ReplyDeleteI think I like Lemon Fizz best!
Lemon Fizz is "fizzle" Love it...this was great!
ReplyDeleteI must say, I'm going for the China Glazes. The Sally Hansons seemed both very close, but I know the new Sally Hanson "salons" are rather expensive, and I think the "insta-dri" and the China Glaze are about the same price
ReplyDeleteI never in a million years thought I would try a yellow nail polish, but now I want Lemon Fizz really bad!
