Check dat color shift!
OPI Just Spotted the Lizard is a lovely green-gold duochrome with flashes of teal and blue. I'd say this is the crown jewel of the Spiderman 2012 collection, as other fail to impress me (maybe except Number One Nemesis). I'm so happy OPI is doing more duochromes and I hope they keep at it.
The formula starts a bit thin but builds nicely in 3 coats. The finish is metallic, but it's very forgiving with brushstrokes. It dries relatively well, doesn't feel chunky or runny and wear great! I wore this for 3 days before removing it, it was still good as new!
As always, the bottle looks so much more amazing due to the thick glass, but I still love this polish. I saw a few comparisons before and it looks like an exact dupe for Chanel Peridot! That makes me feel even better.
What's your favorite duochrome?
sweeet--you got it!! i heard of this color after i got my topshop dupe. isn't the color amaaazing though??! i just love the duochrome. i didn't get the hype for peridot, but i'm glad i waited it out to try it (and love it) for less :D
ReplyDeleteIt's super great! I own missha HGR01 but it's a lot more blue and starts out green, rather than gold. I'm so glad I waited in peridot too... This is awesomer :D
DeleteOoh, shiny! I love the fact that it's forgiving for brush strokes, even with that pretty metallic finish :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a big plus, especially with topcoat on~
DeleteGorgeous colour shift!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely color! Sad that it doesn't translate to the same the same way it looks in the bottle (I think I'd die if someone managed that). I think my favorite duochrome ever is Zoya Adina, it flashes in so many colors I can't stop staring at my nails when I look at it :D
ReplyDeleteWhoa I just looked up Adina and it's nuts! I reminds me of opals, it's so beautiful. Seems like it might be dupable with Opi Significant Other Color but Adina seems so much brighter.
DeleteThanks for making me aware of this beautiful color :D
oh, yay! :D I didn't know about the OPI, I'm pretty new to the nail world so I'm sure there's lots I have missed
Deleteand don't worry, I live to enable, lolz ;)
