Earlier today I posted a review of Essie "Where's My Chauffeur" and I mentioned that it looked pretty similar to China Glaze "For Audrey" on my swatch wheel.
As you know, polishes can look very different on the nail and it helps when they are swatched right next to each other. Here is the comparison I did with Essie and China Glaze. As you can see, the Essie is more blue and a bit darker. I actually prefer it over For Audrey. It's more bold.
As far as formula goes, I do think For Audrey is easier to apply - but the end result of Where's My Chauffeur is worth the trouble.
Have a great day!
For Audrey is one of my favorite colors, but it might be nice to have a similiar one in the collection1 Thanks for the comparison.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I love both of them.
DeleteGorgeous! Dupes of not this is my favorite nail color. I can't wait for mine to arrive. I've also read that Aquadelic is really similar too.
ReplyDeleteOh really? There must a dupe out there somewhere. But I am glad I don't have one.
DeleteI wonder how close it is to Orly Frisky. From pictures it looks like it could be very close...I've been on the fence about getting the Essie; I might have to bring my bottle of Frisky to the store and compare them in person!
ReplyDeleteGood idea. I have totally done that before:) Or walked around Ulta with the bottle that I want and compared it to all the ones I have. I have saved myself lots of money doing that.
DeleteI like that the Essie is a little more vibrant than the other shades
ReplyDeleteExactly. It's great.
DeleteI love that new Essie shade! I have seen the new winter display in two stores and in both stores every single color was sold out :(
ReplyDeleteOh really? It was fully stocked at my Target.
DeleteGreat comparisons! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome.
DeleteI think Where's My Chauffeur is my fave out of all these! I have 2 of the ones above and I'm very glad Where's My Chauffeur is not one of them!! *addding it the my lemming list now!!* :)
ReplyDelete:) I am always excited when I don't have a dupe.
DeleteGreat post!! Is it bad that if I love the color, I don't even care if I already have a dupe? :P
ReplyDeleteDid you seriously just comment on my blog? And follow? WOWZA, you made my day:) You are my hero!
DeleteAlso, I swore I was following you already!! Sorry :/
DeleteOh no need to apologize. There are so many of us out here:) I'm just glad you are here now. Take care.
DeleteYou are too cute!! Thank you <3
DeleteVery nice comparison! I don't have the essie one but For Audrey is close enough for me.
ReplyDeleteyes, they are really close.
DeleteWow, it is a much cleaner-looking shade than For Audrey. I passed this one over (also the name is stupid, haha) but now I might reconsider! Thank you for the comparison!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you should.
DeleteI'm in love with Where's My Chauffeur?! I did a comparison post on it too and found China Glaze Aquadelic to be a dupe.
