Not Quite A Dupe, But SO Close

I was sent some samples through from Boots 17 for their new Trio Eye Shadows and Fast Finish nail polishes. As it turns out, Fury Fast Finish Polish is a very close ringer for Chanel Peridot. Fury is slightly more bronze in tone than Peridot’s gold, but still has that green beetle back undertone that is so delicious. I love both of them, but can’t help but be swayed by the fact that Fury is a total snip at £2.99. See what you think:

Top picture is Fury, bottom is Peridot.

 

Peridot and Fury

These smouldering golds undershot with green are a real trend for autumn/winter – I also spotted one in the LOOK beauty line up which I’ll be testing later. If you’re wondering about the cute black ribbon, it’s a water decal and I’ll be a doing a proper water decal review later.

    That’s a good enough dupe for me! Sold 🙂

  5. It kind of looks closer in the bottle than it does on the nail. But it’s £2.99! And when you put it that way, it’s close enough for a try methinks! x

  6. Well it is certainly Chanel “inspired” but in the end doesn’t quite have the distinctive play on colours that the Chanel one does.

  7. I am really loving the Gold look – it really suits all skin tones and is understated yet classy at the same time.

    Although both shades look slightly different – I wouldn’t be able to justify the price difference!

    I’m impressed the company actually sent you a freebie. Boots don’t give anything away any more. I know. I work for them and they’ve managed to re-define the term “cheapskate”. Well done!

    I prefer the Fury one actually. Lovely 🙂

  10. Not dead on dupes but good alternatives. Like the Models Own Car Key collection for the Chanel Les Khaki!

  11. They are super similar, I actually prefer the No17 shade here, its a lot more shimmery and gold!

    Boots are really taking advantage of the brands they stock showing them the new products to get their buy in… Shame on them.

  13. Actually I think those are sufficiently different that I could justify owning both 🙂
