Earlier today, someone was asking for a comparison between
OPI Do you Lilac it against Essie
Lilacism, and China Glaze Light As Air, so I decided to swatch them for her. Since I had done so and labeled them already, I've decided to post my comparisons of these 4 polishes. All of these were done with 3 coats, except Essie
Lilacism, which was 4 coats (It might be opaque in 3, but I forgot to shake the bottle before I started applying it so the first coat was very runny) Light as Air, you can probably get away with 2 coats of..I was being kind of quick and sloppy with it, so I ended up having to do 3. The formula's pretty decent on this one..too bad China
Glaze's brush sucks. I'll also apologize for the lack of cleanup..I got lazy.
The first comparison is between
OPI Do You Lilac it, China Glaze Light As Air, and Essie
Lilacism. Light as Air is the lightest of the 3, with a dusty quality to it that I'm fairly fond of (Dusty cremes are my favorite cremes) I did a full
mani of it after these swatches..and sadly I'm not entirely sure it's a color that works well on me...my face is neutral..but my hands are fairly warm...I love it in some
lightings..and in others not so much. It's closest to Essie
Lilacism, though Light as air is definitely lighter and dustier than
Lilacism. Personally, I like
Lilacism's color more. The difference is most apparent in the picture below, but there's definitely a stronger difference in person.
OPI's Do You Lilac it is not very similar at all to either of these two.. it's more vibrant and less cool toned, and much less of a pastel.
I then compared
OPI's Done Out in Deco with the the two, since it's lighter and cooler colored than Do You Lilac It..it's closer to these colors than Do You Lilac It, but is still not a dupe of either color. It is again more vibrant than these two and possibly a bit bluer, though it does carry a nice dusty quality to it.
This ends my comparisons of these colors. Unfortunately I do not own Lucky Lucky Lavender from the
Hong Kong collection, so I cannot compare it to Light As Air and
Lilacism. I hope this satisfied somebody's curiosity.
