Swatch comparison: Wallis and Peridot

Sep 04, 2011 09:17

After Butter London's Wallis sold out on the Butter London site, I made it a priority to track this one down! I'd been vaguely coveting it since Butter London announced their limited fall lineup ( Read more... )

Nice! Wow, Wallis is so flashy, but that makes sense with Graphite as one of its nail polish parents. :P

Have you ever actually used Diving in Malaysia, by the way? Because I really like Peridot, but good god, I don't know if I could justify spending that much on a polish (and driving out to Yorktown to do it). But in the swatches on the site you linked, it looks like Diving in Malaysia's shift is less subtle, or something. idk.

Wallis is definitely flashy, but in a CLASSY way, you know? :P

I haven't tried Diving in Malaysia but here's a side by side: http://jerlaine.onsugar.com/Sephoras-Diving-Malaysia-Poor-Mans-Chanel-Peridot-18435365

It seems to me there's a lot more gold in Diving in Malaysia but if you don't actually have them side by side, you'd never even notice that.

So bop on over to your local Sephora and see if they have it. ...it might be Europe only, though. *looks shifty*

That seals it; I'm pretty much in love with Peridot and Graphite.

I'm glad if this could be helpful! I love them both so much, they're just absolutely gorgeous.

I'm so anxious to wear them LOTS AND LOTS with autumn coming up. <3

You're going to love Peridot so much, I can feel it.

I love them all!

What I want to know is how much is your monthly nail polish budget? ;)

Aren't they gorgeous?

Lol...never you mind. I never buy anything we can't afford!

I am SO very pleased by this post! I absolutely adore those colors. And well, I might just adore you as well for posting about things like this.

I love me some green, too! I had Sephora brand's "Leaf Him at the Altar" on last week. Greeny goodness.

I especially love this Peridot! Although, I may be biased since it is my birthstone. I'm thinking I'll definitely have to add that to my collection. :D

Thanks for all the detail and pictures! This was a delightful post.

Autumn greens, baby! I get so excited about nail polish and swatch comparisons, it's ridiculous.

Ooh, I've tried that one before! It's very close to a Sinful Colors polish that I have, Show Me the Way. (Leaf Him at the Altar is prettier, though.)

Peridot is beautiful and very unique. It's a limited Chanel color so I say, go for it. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO NOT WEAR AWESOME NAIL POLISH.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much! :3
