Lol, they all look exactly the same to me.

I'm glad it isn't just me!

Loving the vintage manicure style, though--I'd love to try that myself!

Isn't that just a "French (http://www.frenchmanicure.com/fm/)" manicure?

(According to the link, it didn't exist before 1975, but apparently it just wasn't named before that.)

You've got better eyes than I do. All I can see are those scary French manicures.

I was about to comment the same thing!

They look the same to me, too.

I love the fashions! Very slinky and up-to-the-minute! ;)

I would say the one on the left is pinker? The one in the middle is the darkest & the one on the right is more terracotta? But really subtle differences.

And what the hell is up with the white at the base of the nail?

old school manicures, you don't paint tips or lunula (half moon bit at the base).

Those are 'moons' and large ones are desirable. If you had skimpy ones, you just cheated,and painted like you had bigger ones <- manicure advice from my grandma.

Also, I see NO color difference.

I agree with other commenters, it's almost impossible to see any difference between those colours! I suppose they were too similar to show up well in the colour printing of the day.

All that aside, the dribbling, fawning copy makes me kind of dislike this Ms. Perfect deb of the century with her hair that 'shines like wheat in the sun' etc. XD I don't care which shade she wears to lunch at the St Francis! :-) Hmm, maybe the indistinguishable colours are a subtle message to say, "Hey, you, yes you, you unstylish, colour-blind lump! What, you don't match your nail polish to your couture gown when you go the ball? Oh, you don't get invited to balls? No wonder, when you can't even tell the difference between Old Rose and Robin Red! Must try harder! Better buy 3 gallons of Cutex Nail Polish right away, and start practising, Cinderella!" ;-P

"There are 11 shades to choose from altogether" ... but I only have ten fingers!!! Whatever will become of me?!? >;-)
