I included all the colors I could remember you wanted to compare OPI's new Texas release Austin-tatious Turquoise to. They are: Catch Me In Your Net, Sea? I Told You, Austin-tatious Turquoise, and Yodel Me On My Cell.
And in the same order. The photo is pretty big, so you may click to enlarge for a detailed view.
I concur in my first observation about Sea? I Told You as the closest. And just as previously described, I'm pretty positive they both have the same shimmer pigment, but differently tinted bases. They do come out differently, as you can see, but they are both sheer and I believe this was four coats. I have also previously (verbally) compared Catch Me In Your Net to Sea? I Told You, because they're somewhat in the same group - Sea I Told You is like the predecessor to the greatness that would come. Last, as you can tell, Yodel Me On My Cell doesn't really belong in this group, but comparing is of course always interesting. The base is more opaque and a whole lot darker. Though, after viewing these up close for an eternity or two, I do suspect that the shimmer pigments in Yodel Me On My Cell are in fact the very same as in Sea? I Told You and Austin-tatious Turquoise.
Now go out and grab the ones you want.

ReplyDeleteTeal is the color of Ovarian Cancer awareness and I have found that using it sparks conversations about this deadly disease.
