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

A friend has the OPI and I love its look on her but I couldn’t bothered to purchase it online (here it costs 15€, better prices abroad). I bought at least three other cheaper polishes to get a similar colour, they are close but not the same, but for the price of one bottle I have three ;)
