The Beiges

Comparison #4!!

My good friend bought OPI Bare It In Trafalgar Square quite a while back from eBay and when she gave me a swatch of it, I loved how it looked so much, I knew I just had to have it! Mind you this swatch was one stroke of polish on a scotch tape. That was how much it drove me crazy. That one thin strip of beige was so alluring!

Left to right: OPI Bare It In Trafalgar Sqaure (BIITS), Essie Jazz and Elianto Eggshell, taken under a lamp.

Same order, taken in indirect sunlight. Colours are more accurate in this picture!

Taken with flash.

So I did a comparison previously between Jazz and Eggshell and I concluded that they were dupes of each other (with one eye closed). However, I do not have any dupes for BIITS in my collection because it's far whiter than any of the close colours I have. It did look pretty close to Jazz in the bottle though!

All three of the polishes took 2 coats to be opaque although Jazz was a little more sheer than the other 2 so for people who are very particular about VNL, 3 coats would be best! I'm actually very impress with how opaque BIITS was! I was expecting it to be sheer and was prepared to do 3-4 coats but it's very opaque, even with the first coat on! Maybe it's got to do with the fact that it's a black label (old OPI that isn't Big 3-free).   

Really loving all three of these colours and I think I may be wearing these for the first few days of my internship, to check out how conservative my office is (as well as the clients' offices)! I love how these colours looks so chic on short nails and they makes them look very neat and clean cut! (:
