I assume it's another attempt at recreating Channel Peridot and that's the reason I bought it after seeing a swatch at A Polish Addict. I don't own Peridot (mainly because of the price tag), so I'm really happy with Hidden Treasure (£6 for 8ml)!
The bottle shot is amazing! Depending on the angle, it reads a green/gold/teal/turquoise'ish mix with indigo towards the edges! Oh boy... I wish my nails looked like that but obviously the multichrome doesn't translate as strongly onto the nail!
HT needed 3 coats to be fully opaque but the formula is really smooth, applies a dream and there is no streakiness whatsoever. On the nail, the colour resembles that of Peridot - a greenish gold! In some pictures, the gold is more apparent but in others, you can see the green creeping in and getting slightly darker at the edges! Obviously, irl, if you move your hand around, it is much more noticeable as the light hits it at different angles.
I took a pic in direct sunlight which I don't think makes much of a difference to this polish as both the green and gold are still visible under my lamp. I also took one in a bowl of water as it was the only way I could get the slightest bit of indigo to show!
Wow, that is a really nice polish! Thanks for the swatches!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Lindsey :)
DeleteWow, so pretty! I still don't own any of the dupes and really want one. I wish I could get this one!
ReplyDeleteI think Topshop ship internationally! Not sure about the price though!
DeleteThis is really cool! I love the intense blue duochrome effect this one has!
ReplyDeleteThat's what did it for me as well because I've seem many of these look-alike polishes but they reflect green and gold only!
DeleteThanks! And you did such an amazing post, spot on descriptions!! Love :)
ReplyDeleteThanks hun :) All thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have even known that topshop had this shade!!
DeleteHmmm that's a topshop polish I may have to get! It looks so gorgeous
ReplyDeleteTopshop actually surprised me when I had a look at their polish range!
DeleteWow I love how it looks under water! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's the best way to get the shift in colours :)
DeleteIt really is stunning. I do own Peridot but it's cursed with the dreaded Chanel chippage, so disheartening for an expensive polish.
ReplyDeleteTopShop polishes on the other hand are fantastic quality, they apply like a dream and last for days. Their colour selection too is seriously gorgeous!
Completely agree! Can't believe I've never really given Topshop polishes a fair go before this!
DeleteI love all these Peridot dupes so much! I don't know how different they actually are from each other, but I guess if you own one of them you're fine :) Gorgeous pictures btw, I definelty need to try the water pics :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Elsa! Yep, I'm happy with just owning this one! Try water pics with your Genius in a Bottle :)
DeleteI <3 TOPSHOP nail polishes and this colour is lush!!
