Hi Goddesses
So here it is, The Greatest Orange Holo Comparison Post Of All Time, or TGOCPOAT for short. Damn, I so wish that said top coat lol. I've been trailing this for a few weeks, so I hope you enjoy.
First things first - this is a BIGGIE. There are lots of photos. LOTS. There are also 2 separate paws on show. The polishes involved are -
Clicking each polish name will take you to the individual post for this polish, which also contains links of where to buy them. You might also want to check out the original Orange Holo Comparison post HERE, which features a couple of others that didn't make the cut :(
Ok, so the first hand is pure orange holos -
And here they are on the paw -
index - Enkelini Lainey Lou / middle - Literary Lacquers More Like Fire Than Light / ring - Jade Uau / pinkie - Chirality Just Before Dawn
The overall summary is that Chirality, on the pinkie, is a very different type of holo. Rich, dark and scattered, this is the odd one out, but no less beautiful for that.
Next to it, on the ring finger, is its polar opposite - Jade Uau. These polishes, whilst both hologrpahic, come from opposite ends of the spectrum. Uau is hardcore holo-oh-oh - linear, rainbow-juiced and bendier than an Olympic gymnast.
We then have the battle you've been waiting for - Enkelini Lainey Lou (index) v this year's holo-oh oh Literary Lacquers More Like Fire than Light. Can YOU tell them apart ?
It's ridiculous, isn't it! Ha ha. They are BOTH perfect. MLFTL has a little bit more subtlety, and a finer holo-oh-oh particle. Lainey Lou, still has a fine particle, but is just a smidge more robust, and as a result, can hold more rainbow. Do you need both? No. Am I going to get rid of one? No. Lol.
And here's all 4 again -

Ok, so now it's time to change the line up. MLFTL remains on the middle finger, so that it can now be compared to its sister, Greatest Treasures, and we also have OPI DS Couture to compare to GT.

So, let's compare the 2 Literary Lacquers first of all. When MLFTL (middle) first came out, a lot of you were worried about how it compared to Greatest Treasures and whether they were different enough to warrant owning both. They are, and you should :)

And then there's how GT compares to OPI DS Couture. One is sadly discontinued, the other is still available. Any chance Literary Lacquers can kill some lemmings ?
OPI DS Couture is on the left as you look, and whilst these 2 are not 100% dupes, they are close enough if you are looking for a discontinued polish. Again, I think the main difference is the subtlety provided by the super fine holo-oh-oh particle used by Literary Lacquers.
And just for fun - some more photos -
Phew! Gah, there's so much lovely here, I still don't even know which one is my favourite :)
What about you - which one are you lusting after, and which ones have now gone on your wishlist?
Enjoy xx :)
