Basically, I completely missed out on the OPI Rainbow Connection polish that came out with the Muppet collection. I literally STALKED my local Ulta, and could not find one single bottle! Since then, I've been on a hunt for a "dupe" of the highly sought after Rainbow Connection. I purchased two polishes which I thought looked like exact matches, only to realize that they aren't really that similar at all. Although one comes a lot closer than the other.
Here's a photo of what I've found.

On the left we have a glitter polish in the color Galaxy by American Apparel. On the right a glitter polish in the color Gems by Milani. From what I've gathered by reading reviews and such, the actual Rainbow Connection polish is a clear polish with rainbow glitter in all different sizes. American Apparel's Galaxy is a clear base with really large flecks of rainbow glitter, while Milani's Gems is a clear base with really small flecks of rainbow glitter. I've come to the conclusion, that if Galaxy and Gems had a baby, it would probably be really close to Rainbow Connection. *Sigh* Rainbow Connection will always be "the one that got away."
Has anyone found an exact dupe? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

Rainbow in the Skylie from the Nicole by OPI Kardashian collection is an exact dupe! You can still find it at Target and Walmart.
