So today I have for you guys a comparison that I promised a little bit ago. Sephora by OPI Gleek Out vs. OPI Simply Smash-ing! which is from the Serena Williams set. Before I had my bottle of Simply Smash-ing I thought these might be dupes. But nope, not the case. Gleek Out is definitely green-yellow and Simply Smash-ing is definitely yellow-green. I really like both, I like weird colors like them...but they aren't for everyone! Similar formula on both, but I did use 1 less coat of Simply Smash-ing, I think it might be due in part to having a regular full sized bottle vs. the small mini bottle of Gleek Out. The little brushes are a pain in the you know what!
I used 2 coats of Simply Smash-ing and 3 coats of Gleek Out for the photos below.
Great comparison, thanks for the heads up :):)
ReplyDeleteGRRR I still want to get my hands on Simply Smashing! LOL Gary Busey? At a NFG show?! I think my mind exploded. BTW- your nails look awesome here!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comparison!
ReplyDeletei have sImply smashing and i like it. i want the gleek polishes so bad! lol on my to-buy list lol
ReplyDeleteI think I can justify owning both. Close enough for non polish addicts though.
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing this! I wanted Simply Smashing but now I know I like Gleeked Out better, thanks
ReplyDeleteI thought Simply Smashing looked kinda meh in the promo pics, but I love it on you. It's like a shimmery tennis ball! Thanks for the comparison :)
ReplyDeleteGreat comparison, thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteWe are a special group, we nail polish junkies. I suspect a number of our friends and family would be amused by pointing out the difference between yellow-green and green-yellow, but it makes perfect sense to us! Me, I'm in favor of green-yellow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comp! I haven't swatched my SS yet, and now I feel less motivated to. Have a great wkend hon!
ReplyDeleteI think these colors would look horrible on me, but I like them on you!! My favorite of these two is Gleek Out. Thanks for the comparison!
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys all like the comparison!

ReplyDeletelol that is the truth! I was trying to explain that to someone who isn't a lacquer head like we are. She was like...sounds the same to me. I gave up trying to describe how green-yellow and yellow-green are not the same!
gleek out is prettier IMO~
ReplyDeleteI'm dying for Simply Smashing!
ReplyDeleteNFG is my favorite and most-seen band :) I've seen them dozens of times and been a fan since I was 12, which is now 13 years ago lol Where did you see them?

ReplyDeleteawesome!! They played an all request show at Chain Reaction in Anaheim CA before they went overseas...the venue they played at in tiny, about 250 capacity. It was insane! I've seen them live probably 20 times over the past 10 years and it was by far the most intense/best show I've seen from them!
Wonderful of you to compare the two. I can skip one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I scored Simply Smashing for free last week because the bottle of Black Shatter in the set was broken, so the girl just gave me SS. I love it and it looks fantastic with the Shatter, which I already had. What collection is Gleek Out from? I don't think I've ever seen it and I'd love to have it.

ReplyDeleteGleek Out is from the Glee Collection Sephora by OPI just recently put out! You should still be able to get it in Sephora stores or on their website!
