[...] EmpressStephanie’s came out much closer to the real thing. (She reports that using 8 daylight bulbs and extreme white balance on her Canon D40 solved the purple/blue issues.) [...]

OMG Steph you are a fricken mind reader. I was just looking at Scrangie’s website and was thinking hummmm… I wonder how close Bermuda Breakaway is to DAR. I open a new window to compare your swatch next to scrangies and low and behold you have bottle pics! You are wonderful! Thank you thank you thank you!

Lady Slatternly – BE and 608 are not exact dupes but they’re fairly close – it’s not the same color tone but it’s in the same range of colors, if that makes sense. I don’t know if I can judge whether it’s worth it to get one when someone already has the other. For the casual collector I’d say probably not, but for people like us, probably yes. DC and CB I need to swatch to give you a real idea. From memory and bottle comparison I would say it’s not an exact dupe but it might be a good enough dupe for people who shy away from RBL’s prices.

aprilrobin – Sure thing! : ) But I can tell you right off the bat that they really aren’t similar at all. If you’re planning on getting them, don’t hesitate to get both. And please comment more often I love hearing from you guys.

Ah, thank you so much for these! Even with your help I couldn’t decide, so I just ordered the whole darn set. I figures I can find a home for any tht are unwanted.

When you have the time some day, I would love to see you swatch all of those dark blue cremes together for comparsion. Those are my favorites!

Your blog is great btw. I check it out almost daily but haven’t commented before.

Does BE look like LA Girl Flare 608? Also CB looks like Dead Calm to me. What are the differences between these pairs (that can’t be gleaned from the photos)?

I’d envision it to look something like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23310213@N02/2863814417/

Calypso Blue would be a Zulu dupe for sure, And Blue Paradise looks *almost* Essie Dominica Green. *Heads off to write email*…

VampyVarnish – Cool!

Jason – Blue Paradise is very you. : )

Karman – Well, now you will be a blue person, lol. Mua ha ha, bringing people to the dark side one post at a time. ; )

Mazoo – RIGHT!!!? Maybe we need email bomb China Glaze for a collection of greens! : )

Just ordered the set. You’re right…a line of greens would be perfect.
