I picked up these polishes from various sources (Nail Vibe, Flea at Scape & some another un-named seller - not going to purchase from her again, so it's not important to know).   If you want to buy OPI, China Glaze for cheaps, do check out some of the larger stalls at Scape flea over the weekends, OPIs usually go for $10, and there are deals for China Glaze at 3 for $20.

Anyway, all four shades happen to be glittery festive colors from the brands' Christmas collections.  I have previously swatched the ORLY colors before on a nail wheel, but I really want to see how they apply on my own nails.

First we have two gunmetal+holographic+glitter polishes -- China Glaze 'Some Like It Haute' and ORLY "Rock Solid"

Quick comparison - in the bottles both look somewhat simila - though the CG shade looks darker, while the ORLY shade is more silvery and contains larger  holographic chunks.

However, the differences come in when both are applied on the nails - the CG shade is a jelly-like base, I applied two coats but you can still see my own nails in between the dense glitters.  Because the base color is not opaque, it actually comes off lighter than the ORLY shade - which is opaque in two coats, and the larger holographic bits doesn't quite translate onto the nails very well.

Rock Solid looks really quite wowza in the bottle, don't you agree?

As you can see the CG color is lighter, and looks more holographic in this picture taken with soft flash.

Overall, I love both shades, and they are great with most outfits and colors.

Next is another color from the OPI Muppets collection - Warm & Fozzie.  The base color is a bronzey gold, with purple, fuschia, and gold bits -- it's really quite a rich and intense shade.

When applied, I realised that the base color is a darkened brown, and you need two coats or even three thinner coats for full intense payoff.

I compared Warm & Fozzie with two other glittery bronze and gold shades in my shade - not the same as all, but just to give you an idea of how they compare....I hope my pictures capture the different colored bits in Warm & Fozzie!  I think this would be an awesome shade for my toes. :)

And the last one we have here is Rococo A Go-Go by ORLY... I had used this shade during my express manicure flea over the weekend on a couple of girls... and I quite enjoy the formula on this shade.  It gives true color payoff in two coats, and looks very bit multi-dimensional as it looks in the bottle.

I had to use some flash to bring out the texture of this color, because it was such a cloudy morning when these pictures were taken.  Very velvety, rich purpley color with duochrome golden fuschia tones.

Which of these have caught your eyes?

Hope this has been helpful, and thanks for looking.
