Passion is often compared to other pretty sheer pinks OPI makes, so in this post, you will find Passion swatches and comparison photos to three other sheer pink colors - Bubble Bath, It’s a Girl! and Put it in Neutral.
All swatches are shown in two coats.
Some of the swatches are shown in the Infinite Shine long wear formula, some are shown in the standard wear formula.
For the purposes of these comparisons, focus on the difference in color rather than the difference between formulas.
Starting with two swatches of OPI Passion, followed by the rival colors:
OPI Passion VS Bubble Bath ISLS86
OPI Passion (top) is a lighter coverage sheer candy pink, whereas OPI Bubble Bath (bottom) is a medium coverage sheer peach pink.
OPI Passion VS It’s a Girl! NLH39
OPI Passion (top) is more sheer and warm lighter pink than It’s a Girl! (bottom), which is a cool, medium coverage true pink.
OPI Passion VS Put it in Neutral NLT65
Compared to Put it in Neutral (bottom), OPI Passion (top) is a richer true pink, where Put it in Neutral is lighter in saturation and a sheer mauve pink.
Passion is a unique color when it comes to its rivals, as each of the compared sheer pinks is a bit different in color tone - there’s no exact match.
All in all, Passion is a light coverage candy pink sheer nail polish that stands alone as a color. It provides even coverage in two coats and levels out very nicely.
If you’ve previously sworn off sheer nail polishes because you don’t have fun applying them with care to avoid streaks, Passion is a sheer nail polish to make you reconsider.
It levels itself out, filling in any gaps while you apply it, using no special brush tricks, any intense focused effort or adaptations to the original formula.
