comparison: opi good man-darin is hard to find vs essence wake up!

kada sam postovala o GMIHTF opi-ju ovde,  spomenula sam kako retko nosim ovakve boje i kako nisu baš česte u mojoj kolekciji. onda, kada sam namazala essence-ov WU!, opisan ovde, shvatila sam koliko su ova dva laka u stvari slična. naravno, morala sam da napravim poređenje.

i wrote about opi's GMIHTF here where i mentioned how little of these colors i own. then, when i wore essence's WU! (described here), i realized how similar the two actually are. so, naturally, i did a comparison.

leva sličica je sa blicem, druga je na prirodnom svetlu. i generalno, kao što će se videti na ostalim slikama, u prirodi je WU! za par nijansi intenzivniji i sa paradajzičasto-crvenim podtonom, dok je na veštaškom svetlu ta razlika mnogo manje primetna.
prirodna svetlost:

left image was made with flash, while the right one is on natural light. in general, as you will see in the next few pictures, in natural light WU! is brighter and has a slight tomato red undertone, while this difference is toned down in artificial light.

ako niste previše izbirljivi, ako imate jedan, ne treba vam drugi. nisu baš identični, ali su dovoljno blizu. pošto će moj essence preživeti još maksimalno dva mazanja, drago mi je da će mi ostati OPI!
oba laka imaju bazu (opi start to finish), dva sloja i top coat (essence better than gel nails top sealer BTGNTS).

if you are not too picky, you will not need the both.they are not dupes, but they are close enough. i am happy that i have opi, because my essence bottle has one or two applications left in it.
as usual, i used base (opi start to finish), two layers of each polish and top coat (essence better than gel nails top sealer BTGNTS).
