Beyond Cozy vs. My Favorite Ornament

Let's be honest: silver or champagne or gold glitter is pure glam.

I ordered both Essie's Beyond Cozy and OPI My Favorite Ornament in hopes that they were a bit different. Pretty much regretted buying both when I saw the bottles next to each other. Under my Ott light they look like twins.

On the nail, though, the story is quite different.

Each one is three coats.

Formula on both was very good, however the formula on the Essie was a bit quicker to dry, which actually surprised me.

Clearly OPI's My Favorite Ornament is a subtle champagne next to Essie's Beyond Cozy, but if I compare the OPI to a real gold glitter, it pales. Next to a silver, it looks a bit tarnished.

Next to the OPI, Essie's Beyond Cozy looks absolutely silver, but it isn't. It's the more subtle version of the OPI. More neutral.

Of course I like both, which is natural.

Neither are really a spring polish, but I've been on a swatching kick and trying really to catch up on so many untrieds.

Keeps me busy.

Thanks for reading my little nail polish journal.

Note: I just edited a comma and this updated for today! Talk about frustrating!
