Possible OPI So So Skullicious Mini Set Dupes

When I first swatched these colors for my last post I thought they looked a lot like the Julep colors I received in my first, and only at the moment, Julep It Girl Maven Box. I didn't bother swatching OPI Mourning Glory for comparison because, well it's a basic black cream and has a thousand different polishes it could be compared to and they would all be dupes. ;)

This post is pretty picture heavy so click the "Read More" button to view it in it's entirety. 

First up are yellows! Julep Daisy is as a bright lemon yellow creme. As I described OPI Candlelight in my last post, it is a creme/jelly formula that is an egg yolk yellow.  

 My middle finger is 3 coats of Candlelight and my pinky finger is 4 coats. While my index is 3 coats of Daisy and ring finger is 4 coats. All have a base coat of OPI Nail Envy and no top coat.

I would definitely call these dupes of each other. With the first 2 coats of them you could see Candlelight was a little darker but, with 3 and 4 coats they are identical. Formula wise they were the same so if you have one you don't need the other. ;)

Now onto the oranges! I have previously compared Sinful Colors Citrine and Sephora + Pantone Universe Tangerine Tango here but threw them into this mix as well. 

 Sinful Colors Citrine is described as a red based orange creme. Sephora + Pantone Universe Tangerine Tango is also a red based orange creme, although a tad darker than Citrine. Julep Sasha is listed by Juelp as a fresh, cantaloupe melon creme. OPI Hi, Pumpkin! is described as a jack-o-lantern orange. 

My index finger is Citrine while, my middle finger is Sasha. My ring finger is Hi, Pumpkin! and my pinky is Tangerine Tango. All are 3 coats of each color and are over OPI Nail Envy and have no top coat. 

No dupes here! Hi, Pumpkin! isn't like any other orange color I own. Sasha is a more pink based orange. Hi, Pumpkin! stands alone and so does Sasha in this category.

And last, but not least, the pinks! Milani La Vie En Rose, Julep Lily, OPI A -Rose From The Dead and MAC Steamy can all be described as a fuchsia creme. La Vie En Rose and Lily are more of a purple/berry pink than the other two though.

My index finger is 2 coats of La Vie En Rose. My middle finer is Lily in 3 coats . My ring finger is 3 coats of A-Rose From The Dead and my pinky finger is 2 coats of Steamy. All have a base coat of OPI Nail Envy and have no top coat.

 

Again no dupes here! La Vie En Rose is close to Steamy but, Steamy is a tad lighter. I love the formula of Steamy so I would choose it over La Vie En Rose hands down.

Overall, I'm pleased I only have one dupe for the OPI mini kit. I especially am happy that I have a dupe for the one color I really loved out of the entire set. I guess picking up the set based on it's looks paid off in terms of variety for me. :)
