While my husband finished school, we lived with his parents because my teaching salary didn't allow us a lot of (ok any) wiggle room. The week he got his job, I bought a bottle of Chanel Peridot to celebrate. I know, I should have payed a bill instead. =) A week later I was put on medical leave and later disability but for a week, I could afford Chanel nail polish and it was awesome. Little did I know, there would be so many dupes of my beloved Peridot. I hadn't been obsessed with polish very long at that point so I didn't realize I could just wait and get a cheaper version. That's ok, I love my fancy nail polish and it makes me feel special.
I now have two bottles of this magical duochrome, one being OPI's Just Spotted the Lizard from The Amazing Spiderman Collection of course! They are dead on, I can't tell the difference at all even with the formula which is lovely, by the way.
I think this polish is so unique. I love the golden green shift. I tried to capture the light blue shift, but it didn't happen. You can see the blue in the edges of the bottle. It does translate on the nail, I promise.
I took a lot of pictures of this stunner, I couldn't get enough!
I don't know why anyone would want to cover this up with a shatter but here it is with Shatter the Scales. Not my cup of tea.
Here is my fancy polish, Chanel Peridot! *swoon*
What do you think? Are you as smitten as I am or can you leave this on the shelf?
Thanks for reading!

i love this color! I had my eyes on it for months! i know when i swatch it it's gonna be a pain to capture the blue too!
ReplyDeleteI like that color! But I agree about the shatter, not my style either. :)
ReplyDeleteI adore this colour. And you're right, the shatter just doesn't work. I tried an accent nail with it that I really loved: 2 coats of 'Lizard', one coat of China Glaze Luxe and Lush, one coat of Essie Matte About You. Matte finish really brings out the green.
ReplyDeleteI got the other Chanel dupe, Jessica Iridescent Eye, couldn't find this one anywhere...
ReplyDeleteGreat dupe! It looks very elegant on you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
