NOTD - Peridot Dupe

If you are a regular reader, you may remember my post on Chanel's Peridot nail polish (here). Thanks to a post by Fleur de Force (here) I bought the perfect dupe from Topshop called Hidden Treasure at a fraction of the price. The quality of this polish doesn't reflect the price either, I've had this colour on for 3 days and no sign of chipping just yet. 


So without further a do, my quick nail of the day:



In artificial light


In natural light

Until next time guys!

In search of Peridot... (Or the next best thing)



Thursday I had a serious case of 'Nail Envy'!
Someone came into work with what could only be Peridot o
n her nails. Now the fact that I didn't even have to ask her what colour or brand her nail polish was, says something about Peridot... It's definitely unique.

When I first saw swatches I was convinced it was a 'Bogey Green' and definitely not my cup of tea, but then on seeing it in the flesh I have found myself frantically
searching for it.
Since this sudden change of tune I have searched high and low and it seems to be sold out... EVERYWHERE and I'm far too stubborn to buy it online and pay P&P.

So I set to work to find a good dupe, which I thought would be fairly difficult given that the colour is so unique.
However, a quick look on Google and I find there is a brilliant dupe by Sephora called "Diving in Malaysia" (pictured below).

It's just a shame there is no Sephora in the UK!

So I suppose that just means that until they get more Peridot in stock I will continue on this lonely dupe hunt.
