Jade Diamond Twist

Before I post on the Jade polish, I wanted to remind everyone about my stamping contest.  You have another 10 days to enter.  Don't forget because there are some great prizes.  You can enter HERE.


When I first saw the pictures posted on Ninja Polish's facebook page for these new Jade polishes from Brazil, I immediately got on the e-mail list and anxiously awaited notification that they had arrived.  Of course, I bought the whole set.  And, there is no question that they are really pretty polishes.  The one I wanted the most was Twist because I loved the emerald color in the pictures.  I put on two coats and right away noticed something familiar about it.  Here is what it looked like...

 

Great application.  the first coat was very sheer.  It became opaque in two and had a nice shimmer.  But, I recognized it as I started painting the first coat.  I ran to get my Color Club Metamorphosis and re-painted one nail.  Then I posted it online in a group because the similarity was significant and I wanted to see if anyone could guess what the dupe was.  Everyone guessed Zoya Charla.  I hadn't even thought of that.  I then replaced another with Charla.  So here they are from the top, Zoya Charla, Jade Diamond Twist and Color Club Metamorphosis.....

 

And from a different angle, left to right, Zoya Charla, Jade Diamond Twist and Color Club Metamorphosis.....

Charla is a bit darker, as you can see.  the glass flecks in Charla are larger and it has more gold shimmer that is visible on the nail.  Metamorphosis is a tad bit more emerald and a little more iridescent but all three are very similar.  Oh, and here is a close up of what it looks like over black.  just one coat.
