OPI Just Spotted the Lizard

Warning, lots of duochromey pics!
This had to be the polish I tried first from the massive polish haul from the beauty supply store of yesterday. It sat in front of me with all the others and just glowed and screamed to be picked out. How could I refuse? As most will know OPI have a range of polishes to coincide with the new Spiderman movie. Just Spotted the Lizard was an obvious one for me as it was blingy and I don't have the Chanel polish which it is apparently quite a dupe for. I am not a massive OPI fan of the past (not the colors, but the retail prices!) and I am slowly gathering a few here and there.

Anyways, onto the photos! This mani is with  Ulta3 base coat, with 2 coats of OPI Spotted the Lizard and 1 coat of Seche Vite top coat.

I can't stop looking down at how lovely this polish is!

  Application was relatively easy, the first coat looks a little streaky and brush strokey. I had to be quick and not re-go over any patches on the second coat or it would clump a bit. I topped with Seche Vite and again, I had to be careful that it didn't add any further brush strokes to the surface. I like it so much that I am not going to stamp on it until tomorrow..and am going to do my toes too :)
I really love this polish, I hope you do too...let me know what you think :)

  1. I have Chanel Peridot which I must say I do love. Not seen a comparison post yet but it does look very similar. This one, the blue frost and the orange creme were the ones that caught my eye from this collection. Not succumbed yet though:). I rarely buy OPIs retail in Aus but instead buy them online from eBay or US sites. Where do you buy them from here?

  2. Hey Kate, there is a semi-comparison post (alternate nails using both) here: http://www.nailstyle.co.nz/2012/05/chanel-peridotopi-just-spotted-lizard.html
    It looks exactly the same here. I am Melbourne based and there are 3 beauty supply stores that have them for $10-13. You can email me if you'd like more details, it's under About Me :)
