Comparison: OPI – Jade is the New Black vs. Essence – In the Jungle


L: OPI – Jade is the New Black, R: Essence – In the Jungle

With flash.

You can see from the pictures above, that these are very similar but clearly not dupes. In the Jungle is a bit darker. But what’s the difference on the nails?

With flash.

Colors are very similar. The difference can mainly be seen in strong light, while in poor lighting these look almost identical. I can’t decide which one wins the color part, that’s why I’ll call it a tie.

Application on both is great. There are two coats in the pictures shown above. A tie again.

You know, I’m not an OPI brush lover, so I prefer the Essence brush here. The Show Your Feet line has a flat but not very wide brush. I like it very much. Essence wins the brush comparison for me.

The price … Essence is clearly the winner. It costs 1,95€ here and is probably even cheaper in the US (which is just unfair!). OPI is 13€ here and while it’s much cheaper in the US, I guess it’s still more expensive than the Essence polish.

I didn’t have any drying issues with either of them. A tie agan.

I can’t write anything about the wear time, because I didn’t test it.

I mean, these aren’t dupes, but you only “need” both of them if you’re a green lover. Otherwise, I think one of them should be enough. For me, Essence is the winner! Great job! :bow:
