Swatch: Champagne themed nail polishes! Mavala - Oslo, China Glaze - Champagne Bubbles, and Julep - Vivien

So I just got my December Julep Maven box in the mail, and in it was a beautiful champagne-themed colour called Vivien. Every holiday season, nail polish companies always seem to release at least one champagne-themed shade, and every year, I can't wait to get my hands on them. Or get them on my hands, rather.

Today I will present swatches of three champagne-themed nail polishes: Mavala's Oslo (not officially a champagne polish, but the colour is too perfect), China Glaze's Champagne Bubbles (from the 2011 Holiday collection), and of course, Julep's Vivien.

Here they are side by side. I have posted more pictured of the individual polishes further down.

And here's a sneak peak at my favourite combo, pictured at the bottom of the post:

First, here's Mavala's Oslo. I don't think it's meant to be a christmassy nail polish, but then again who knows? This colour is my go-to champagne colour. I really think it looks fantastic. It's a sheer polish though so I had to put on 3 coats to get to this opacity.

Next up is China Glaze's Champagne Bubbles. Another sheer 3-coater. When I ordered this one I had high hopes for it, but when I got it I felt a bit disappointed. It's obvious that they tried to make Champagne Bubbles really gold-coloured, and I really love the tiny little silver flecks that act as bubbles, but the colour is just too... mustardy... for me.

And finally, the lovely Vivien by Julep! Hands down my favourite. This is only two coats, and wait until you see how amazing Vivien looks over the two other polishes!

Here is Vivien over Champagne Bubbles. I don't hate it, but meh... still too mustardy.

And finally, my very favourite of them all!!!! I love love love this combo! Makes me want to drink a whole bottle of champagne all on my own! Muahaha!

I'm so happy with this wonderful, luscious, New Year's Eve-y glitter! If you're as excited as I am, you can order Vivien on the Julep Store.

That's it... hope you enjoyed! :)
