It’s time for the next part in my nail polish comparison series! Today, I have metallics, chromes, and foils. If you’d like to see the previous ones, I’m collecting all the links from the nail polish swatch series on my Project Swatch Roundup page.
As before, I’ve included pictures that have the handle of the swatch stick, so you can more easily see the name of the polish. I also have a close-up of the polished tips only. In every set, the close-up of the tips is more color accurate. The number at the end of the stick is the number of coats, and no number means two coats.
First up: Bright silvers – here, my favorite is Maybelline Mirror Image, which is long-discontinued. I bought mine on Ebay. I also love Zoya Trixie – I love it alone, but also frequently use it as a base for silver holos. I would consider Zoya Trixie and Revlon Silver Dollar dupes.

I swatched these before I purchased Revlon Hypnotize – otherwise, it would fit right in! My favorites here are Revlon Gold Coin and Wet n Wild Deadly Dose (which was a limited edition from last Halloween).

I love copper polishes, and I really love all four of these. I can’t pick a favorite, they’re all different and beautiful to me.

I put too many polishes in one shot here, but these are all sort of similar, though none are dupes. All of these are pretty, but I don’t love any of these as much as the bright silver, gold, and copper polishes.
Note that I left the very last photo extra-large since it has so many swatches – click to see enlarge.
