theBalm Hot Ticket - Mellow Yellow

Here I used Mellow Yellow from the Balm's line of "Hot Ticket" nail polish.

I picked it up on Hautelook last month for $5.

I also did a gradient & stamping combo on top, I'll show you that later this afternoon.

The formula on these Hot Ticket polishes is really good. This swatch only took 2 coats. It self levels easily and doesn't go on streaky like a lot of yellow polishes do.

How does it compare to one of my favorite yellows? China Glaze Lemon Fizz?

This is an older swatch pic, so that's why the length of my nails is so different.

Side by side?

Lemon Fizz is on the left, Mellow Yellow is on the right. 

Mellow Yellow is noticeably lighter in color. Not dupes!
