Chanel Peridot Comparison

I was swatching the Jessica Peacock Queen collection, which is basically a very good trio of less-expensive Chanel dupes, and since I had all these polishes out in front of me already, I figured I'd try them on side-by-side just to see how close they actually are.


Chanel Peridot - Jessica Iridescent Eye - Ozotic 507 - Morpheus 205



Left to right (pinkie to index finger):

Morpheus 205 (three coats)
Ozotic 507 (three coats)
Jessica Iridescent Eye (three coats)
Chanel Peridot (three coats)

Here's just Peridot and Iridescent Eye. Can you tell which is which? It's...

Now, the Ozotic and the Morpheus definitely aren't dupes of Peridot, but they are very similar to each other. Morpheus 205 dries to a smoother finish and has a better formula (and is discontinued), Ozotic 507 has a stranger formula but more yellow in the color. If you were looking for a brighter version of Chanel Peridot, or just a cool chrome-like bright green duochrome, you'd probably like Ozotic 507.

As for Peridot and Iridescent eye, I'm confident in calling them dupes. They are practically exact duplicates to my eye. Iridescent Eye has a better application and dries a touch smoother than Peridot, Peridot might be just a hair darker, but they're so close that I wouldn't be able to tell they were two different colors if I didn't already know.

  2. I recently acquired Ozotic 507. I like it better than Peridot but the formula wasn't that great. I saw a comp. between an upcoming OPI release (Just Spotted a Lizard) which is a dupe to Chanel Peridot. I expect the OPI version will sell fast.

    Good comparison!

    1. I love the color of 507, but I agree, the formula is bleh. I can't wait to get the OPI and see how it applies!

  3. Very nice comparisons! Would you conciser doing a comparison post with the OPI Spider Man dupe of Peridot when it comes out? (<3 duo chromes)

  4. Where do you get these Jessica polishes anyway? I feel like, at this point, Chanel Peridot is the easier one to find.

  7. Super useful post, thanks! The OPI spiderman collection looks like it might have a dupe of Chanel graphite, too..

  8. Thank you for the comparison! Wow, the Chanel and Jessica one look exactly alike. I can't really tell a difference between the two.

  9. I would definitely say dupes as well, though for some reason I like the Jessica one more. If they're dupes, why would I like either more (besides price)? My eye is just drawn to it, maybe the slightest bit smoother/less streaky? I could just be crazy.

  10. Wow they are literallye exact dupes!!

  11. Topshop do one called Hidden Treasure, which is pretty similar to Peridot but less of a shimmer; more flat duochrome.

  12. Awesome comp! Hoping the OPI thats coming out is a peridot dupe like that Jessica!

  13. Great comparison, Scrangie! :) I'm in love with Chanel Peridot (even bought a back-up bottle), so I was really curious to see how these other polishes stacked up against it.

    I'm sure that others will find your post as helpful as I did. Thanks for your hard work! :)

  16. Thanks for doing this. Peridot was such a huge hit and a lot of folks wanted it that did not get it.

  17. I have to get my hands on a bottle of ozotic,,that green is too pretty to pass up!

  18. I'll buy the Jessica brand eventually. I do have a bottle of the Chanel. I'd love a backup but I'm not going to put out that money again. Now I can have a much cheaper version.

  19. Thank you so much for doing swatches of all of these together. I'm so happy I have the Ozotic 507. I can actually say that seeing them all together cured my Chanel Peridot lemming.

  21. does anyone know where to get Morpheus 205?

  22. I only have Ozotic 507, and I definitely like it best out of the polishes you featured! I think Hits Mari Moon Cool may be a contender as well.
