Hi girls,
Are any of you Orly experts by any chance?
I
was sorting my stash the other day. The new polishes from swaps had
been piling up, so I decided to tidy up in my polish collection. I
sorted the polishes, first by brand and then by colour, and when I got
to my Orlys I was in for a surprise.
I have (what looks like) two identical Orly polishes.
Take a look:
It almost looks like a mirrored picture, don't you think?
The problem is not that I have two identical polishes. The problem is that they can't possibly be identical.
One
of them is "Mysterious Curse" from the Dark Shadows collection. The
other one... I don't know. Let's take a look at the bottom of them:
As you can see it's Mysterious Curse on the left. The other one hasn't got a name, but is marked with a number: LAB4402-A.
I received Mysterious Curse in a swap. I bought the other one in a blog sale before the Dark Shadows collection was even out!
Can anybody help me figure out which one the other Orly polish is?
I think the LAB 4402-A is something that all orlys have. My bottle of OUI has the same number underneath the label sticker. Have you tried swatching them?
ReplyDeleteYes, and even on swatches I can't tell them apart.
DeleteI'm pretty sure your other one is Royal Velvet. I specifically didn't buy mysterious ways because I read they were dupes.
ReplyDeleteOops I mean Mysterious Curse! Also just pulled my bottle of RV out and it looks just like that. :)
DeleteOh cool, thank you so much, that's very helpful! :)
DeleteHere's a polish where I can say that they're not just similar, they're the same.
The other one is probably as Jaztee sais Roayl Velvet they are dupes. It's a very beautiful polish.
ReplyDeleteYes it is, but I didn't actually mean to have two alike polishes :)
DeleteYep. Royal Velvet is apart of the core line and was re-promoted in the Dark Shadows collection.
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't know that. I guess I can put one of them up for a swap then :)
DeleteYes, the second one must be a Royal Velvet :)
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks like it, I'm glad to get that cleared up :)
DeleteThey both look great - and it seems like the mystery is solved!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous polishes, and I am so glad that Jaztee could solve my mystery! :)
DeleteThey look the same to me too! But very gorgeous! =)
ReplyDeleteI agree, they're very pretty. But I don't really need two alike polishes. I'll put one of them up for a swap! :)
DeleteI'll agree with everyone that said the other is probably Royal Velvet. It's a bummer when companies put out differently named polishes of the same color. But it's definitely a beautiful shade! :-)
ReplyDelete~ Yun
I think it's cheating that they're exactly the same, when the name is different, but yes, it's definitely a pretty colour :)
DeleteAm feeling duped. So I'm selling my mysterious curse. I hate when companies do that!
ReplyDeleteMe too. It's the first time it happened to me though!
