Two Bright Shades, Two Different Finishes
If you're looking to add a bright shade to your nail polish rotation, Lights Lacquer's Buddy and On A Clear Day both deliver a lift, but in very different ways. Buddy is a dusty pistachio green with a creme finish, while On A Clear Day is a delicate sky-blue with a fine holographic shimmer. Understanding these differences helps you choose the one that matches your personal style and the mood you want to create.
What the Catalog Confirms
- Buddy: A dusty pistachio green nail polish with a creme finish. The creme finish gives a smooth, opaque look—great if you prefer a classic, understated brightness without extra sparkle.
Buddy - On A Clear Day: The sheer formula coats nails with a subtle, fine holographic shimmer, adding a touch of elegance without overpowering your look. If you want a luminous, multidimensional effect that catches the light, On A Clear Day's sheer shimmer offers that gentle glow.

Buddy vs On A Clear Day: Key Differences
- Color and Mood: Buddy's dusty pistachio green feels earthy and calm, while On A Clear Day's sky-blue is airy and fresh, inspired by clear daylight.
- Finish and Texture: Buddy has a creme finish, which typically provides a solid, opaque coat. On A Clear Day is sheer with a fine holographic shimmer, so it layers a subtle sparkle rather than full coverage.
- Wear and Application: On A Clear Day is described as lightweight and easy to blend for a smooth, even coat. Buddy's creme formula is not detailed in the catalog, but creme polishes usually offer straightforward application; the exact wear is not specified in the available information.
Which One Should You Choose?
Your choice comes down to the finish you prefer. If you want a bright shade that feels grounded and classic, Buddy's dusty pistachio creme is a versatile pick. If you're drawn to a lighter, more ethereal look with a gentle shimmer, On A Clear Day delivers that sky-blue glow. Both are bright in their own way, so let the finish and mood guide your decision.
