Nail Pop Kimono vs. Chanel Peridot

Less words more Pics. Enjoy

Chanel Peridot - Index and Ring finger. Nail Pop Kimono - Middle and Little finger

All the above photos were shot in the usual manner, in my light box under a daylight bulb. The following photos were shot in natural and direct sunlight light

I don't think I need to tell you there is a difference between to the two because from the pictures it is fairly obvious. Hope this was helpful!

Boots 17 Fast Finish Nail Polish - Fury

Drooling over Peridot but cannot bear to part with £17.50, Boots have come up with a wallet friendly alternative. Part of their new autumn/winter collection 'Fury' is a warm gold/bronze metallic with subtle hints of green --- I've just realised this sounds like a press release! I think I'll leave the writing to the professionals and just get on with showing you the pictures!

Chanel Peridot on index and ring finger in case it's not obvious!

As you can see it's not really a dupe but it does have Peridot qualities to it and at £2.99 I don't think you'll complain.

Who's going to buy it?

Chanel Peridot vs Diving in Malaysia - a comparison

Last month I mentioned that Sephora's Diving in Malaysia was a dupe of Chanel's Peridot but was not able to provide the evidence! Well now that Peridot is in stock again I can do a side by side comparison for you.

Can you tell which is which?

No?

Nor can I, I only know because I know which fingers I painted Peridot on, which proves it's a dupe, a superduper dupe. There's no time to do a randomised control trial here so you're going to have to take my word for it. Formula, drying time, glossiness, duochrome greeniness was all pretty much the same. If I had to state one difference I guess may be Peridot is lighter but this is negligible to the untrained eye! Still can't tell? Have a guess and tell me!

*Peridot swatched at a Chanel counter!

Chanel Peridot Dupe

Everyone loves a good dupe, Revlon was spot on with Facets of Fuschia and this little beauty I want to share with you today is no exception . Feast your eyes on this...

...Sephora's - Diving in Malaysia

Looks pretty similar doesn't it? Unfortunately I don't have the Chanel one but next time I'm out shopping I might be cheeky and ask if I can test Peridot on a few fingers and then do a comparison for you guys.

Gold/olive green duochrome, just like Peridot, applies and dries like a dream!For those in the UK, it's definitely cheaper to buy the Chanel polish than to take the Eurostar to France unless of course someone else is paying for your ticket (thanks hunny!). Not sure if this is an European exclusive?!?!
