Requested CG ElectroPop Comparisons

  I finally got around to swatching out the comparisons that some people asked for of the China Glaze Electropop colors!  First up, the pinks - CG Dance Baby vs OPI Pink Friday from the Nicki Minaj collection.

  While these two look similar in the bottle, they look fairly different on the nail.  Dance Baby is a darker pink, and is much more bold than Pink Friday, which is lighter and has just a touch more peach to it.  They are similar but definitely different enough to warrant owning both, in my opinion.  :)  Now for the blues!

Aquadelic - For Audrey - Kinetic Candy - Re-Fresh Mint

   So I decided to throw in a couple of extra polishes on the blue - you all requested Aquadelic and For Audrey, then I purchased Kinetic Candy so I added that.  I also included Re-Fresh Mint, because I feel like it is the green version of Kinetic Candy.  As you can see, For Audrey is slightly lighter and more blue than Aquadelic, and slightly darker and more green than Kinetic Candy - it really fits in between the two nicely!  Aquadelic is truly and aqua where For Audrey is more blue.  While not dupes, they are fairly similar, so if you have For Audrey and you aren't crazy about having all of the blues in the world - like me, haha - then you will probably be okay.  Although personally I think all three of them are needed.  ;)

  Let me know if you guys have any other comparison requests, either with these or any other polishes.  I know I am lazy and never finished cataloging my stash, so you have no idea what I have (sorry about that),  but if you make a comparison request I will show you if I can!  Hope these helped some people decide what to buy!

  1. Oooh great post. Thanks! This was helpful. I now know that I do not need Aquadelic because I have For Audrey (close enough for me) but still want Re-Fresh Mint.

  2. Those blues would make a lovely ombre mani all together!

  3. This is really helpful. I could not decide on Aquadelic or not. Now I know I want it. Ditto for the pink in the Electropop collection.
