To me, Stormy looks more true grey than Galion does which has that blue tinge. Actually, I wanted to compare the two to Essie Bobbing for Baubles since that looks like it has a bluish tinge (to me). Although, it didn't end up mattering to me because I got all three... I think I read on pf also that dior perfecto is really close to Galion on the nail?

I think billionaire is "army-er" than OPI HT...AT? But I don't have the OPI nor the Zoya to do a comparo for you.

^ That's what I thought until I saw this comparison swatch from The Ultimate Makeup. Stormy looks lighter than Galion, so probably won't look black in indoor lighting.

I think Stormy might be somewhere close/similar to Essie Power Clutch and ChG Concrete Jungle as Ommorphia Beauty Bar compared it here. I should safe myself some money and go with either Power Clutch or Concrete Jungle.

I'm really want Billionaire, but I want to see it compared to OPI Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow, and maybe Zoya Envy before I decide. I haven't been able to find a comparison between those.

Where's Knas? I bet she has all those. Then you could get Billionaire and one of the cheaper versions of Stormy. :smile1:

I don't have side by side comparison swatches.. but I have some swatch pictures taken under the same lighting.

Here's Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow:

^ Oh, I almost forgot about Bobbing for Baubles. That's another grey I was trying to figure out among all the others. From the swatches I've seen online, Galion and Perfecto are practically the same. Strange thing is I passed on Perfecto because I thought it was too almost black, but I love Galion. :shrugs: It seems like I already own a lot of greys, so I'm trying to be more selective and not duplicate. :p

I think you may be right about Billionaire, it might be a bit lighter than HT... AT and Envy. So that might be a good pick.

^ Hmmm... looks like Billionaire might be a little lighter and bit more grey-tinged. Would that be correct assessment?

^ I'm really looking forward to seeing some swatches! I was very tempted by the blue duo. The red was really pretty, but not sure I can pull off that green, though very pretty too.

Lol, I don't have any of them!! I hate Here Today.... every time I tried to do a mani I had to do so many coats to make it even that it looked black. So I gave it away (in the swap box), and picked up Zoya Envy and Nfu Oh 569 and then Phedre gifted me Here Today...Suede in the last "Secret" gift exchange. Now all is right with the world again.

I keep meaning to buy Billionaire but get distracted. I meant to buy it but then ended up getting the YSL's. Then I went to order it but ended up getting the blue Footloose set instead. I'm kinda hoping it will be in the premium exchange, but if not I will eventually get it from Zappos... no tax, free shipping and their shipping facility is only a few hours away so I get everything next day. :yes:

I so want the blue set, but I have spent all my nail polish $$ for the month. :sad: Maybe they will still be available next month. I need them to make me forget the Chanel blues.
