Chanel Graphite vs. OPI Number One Nemesis - Are They Dupes?

Chanel Graphite vs OPI Number One Nemesis

Pin ItThe polish world has been a buzz with talk of TWO Chanel dupes in the new OPI The Amazing Spider-Man collection, and I am here today to help you find out if it's true!  First up:  OPI Number One Nemesis vs. Chanel Graphite.

After two coats, you can see that the base of the OPI is slightly browner than the Chanel...

After three coats, it is apparent that the Chanel is also more light reflective than the OPI.  The difference between the base colors has been lessened by the third coat, but it is still apparent (to polish addicts, that is).

Overall, the OPI Number One Nemesis is NOT a dupe of Chanel Graphite... but can certainly silence a lemming if the Chanel is out of your budget ($8.50 vs $25)!
