This week I will be showing you some comparison posts with polishes from the new Swiss Collection by OPI (if you missed my swatches of the collection have a look here). I start with the greens. I have been asked to compare Cockoo For This Color with China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald. I wanted to do this comparison from the time I saw both IRL :) On the right you can see the bottles. You can´t say there is any difference. Now both of these polishes need two coats, so no difference here either.
As you can see from my swatch, there is a slight difference between them. Emerald Fitzgerald (EF) has more shimmer which gives the feeling that the color has more depth than Cuckoo For This Color (CFTC). This difference is only visible if you look really close at them, so normally you just think they are the same. It depends on what you like more...OPI or China Glaze. I think the brush factor is most important here :)
Which one do you like more?
Stay tuned for other comparisons :)
Thank you for this comparison, I have EF, so I don't need the OPI one. I somehow like ChG more than OPI :)
ReplyDeleteSame here... I had the OPI on my wishlist...*removed* lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comparison, veru useful!!
I love EF way better! The depth makes it :)
ReplyDeleteGreat comparison!
ReplyDeleteEF is darker and deeper. I like it better. But I have already ordered OPI CFTC...
ReplyDeleteOh thanks, great comparison!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll go for Emerald Fitzgerald, since it's a bit cheaper and I just.. Like China Glaze! ^^
I also have more from Vintage Vixen, so I'll continue collecting those.
Also, CFTC seems to be a teeeeeny bit streakier..? Anyway, they both look great!
GREAT comparison!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if those two shades are similar. And since I like ChG better I'll pick up Emerald Fitzgerald.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comparison. Now I know I don't have to spend a fortune on the OPI because ChG looks so similar.
ReplyDeleteI think I like EF better. They look so similar, but I'm LOVING the colors!
ReplyDeleteI like EF better, so glad I got it. By now, most of you know, I'm not a big fan of OPI...it's just chippy on me.
ReplyDeleteEF looks a bit darker, so I like that one better. Can't wait for the rest of the comparisons ... I like a LOT of the colors in this collection!
ReplyDeleteI opted for the CG since I can't stand the OPI pro-wide brush! They are soooo close! Thanks for the comparison now I def know I don't need both!
ReplyDeletehey girls, so glad I could help with this comparison :) Stay tuned for the other shades!
ReplyDeleteWoww, so embarassing. I had both of these on my wishlist, but I'm gonna take the OPI off. I actually like the pro-wide brush, but I think OPI is secretly evil so they can't have my money. *looks around*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comparison!! My wallet says thank you too! ^_^
You should also check out MAC's Jade Dragon from the new collection coming out this fall, it's pretty similar to them ;)
ReplyDeleteChaosButterfly: you can spend the money on another polish :D
ReplyDeleteyashal: don´t have money to buy MAC right now :(
I have the OPI, so I'll pass on the CG, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBoth pretty! I have ChG but not the OPI. Looks like I won't need the OPI one.
ReplyDeletehmm looking at these again, i'm going to have to give EF another go! i do like OPI's brush better, but the extra shimmer gives EF a bit of oomph :)
ReplyDeleteWow very similar but I think I prefer CG.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this comparaison, I think I don't need both !!
Mmm... these two really look very much alike. Great comparison. Thanks so much. I think I'll get CG lol
