Chanel: Peridot v OPI: Just Spotted The Lizard

(pardon the spelling of Peridot as Paridot... damn, hate when that happens.)
Today's post is really straight forward: a comparison between OPI Just Spotted The Lizard and Chanel Peridot. On my index and middle fingers that is Chanel, on the ring and little that's OPI. So you can see they're super duper similar. Both are two coats with OPI having a little more visible nail line (a thicker coat would cure this or another thin coat). The main difference I noticed was taking the swatch off, the Chanel was harder to get off (in a good way) than the OPI. I did not do top coats for the pictures and it doesn't take me long to polish, snap shots then remove the polish so it was barely dry. The Chanel formula is just more thick and hearty than the OPI. Is it worth the high price tag in my opinion... no. Get the OPI. It's easier to find because you can enter my giveaway to win it :)

Chanel Graphite v. Revlon Carbonite v. Sally Hansen Midnight Sky



Here's a comparison between Chanel Graphite and my picture of Revlon Carbonite. I was able to get a picture from Michele  (right) and Carly from Lacquered Lover who are Chanel fans :-)
In all three polishes you can see the shine factor is really close, Graphite is more of a silver tone (and upon close up you can see little green specks in  it, Carbonite I feel has more of gold under tones and Midnight Sky is obviously more charcoal. I think if you want/like the Chanel Graphite but don't want to pay the price tag that it comes with and are OK with a similar color/less expensive brand, I'd go Revlon. If you like the finish but wish Graphite was darker, I'd choose Midnight Sky. There you go, your comparisons :) Thanks again to Michele and Carly!
