Bottle colors are very often deceptive. They can appear darker, lighter, bolder, duochrome,...
In this particular case, if you do a side by side bottle comparison of Opi Cuckoo For This Color and Illamasqua Viridian, they seem to have the same shade of green, only Viridian looks lighter.
Well, on the nail, they are totally different : the shimmer particles are much smaller in Viridian and although their green base color is quite similar, the extra blue shimmer in Cuckoo For This Color completely changes the overall effect.

Great comparison. :) I was watching first picture of your nails for a minute or 2 and wondering where you see the difference between them. And then I read that there is just one of them. lol I thoutg I was colorblind. :D
ReplyDelete@Ivana lol, that happens sometimes...
ReplyDeleteBoth are gorgeous and there is a slight difference :)
ReplyDeleteAaaaah this is just great!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering whether I should but Viridian or not, and seeing your pictures, well as I already have the OPI, maybe I could spend my money elsewhere :)
Thank you thank you!!!
On you nails they look exactly the same. gorgeous~!
ReplyDeleteI must say I prefer the Opi.
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing this! I was wondering for a while and now I can see I like Viridian way better.
