When I was swatching Illamasqua Radium (R) I was thinking if I have anything close and didn´t think of anything, so I took it off and went to edit the pictures. And then I remembered! OPI Who The Shrek Are You (WTSAY)!
I was so curious to see these side by side that I made the comparison today :) I was wearing Shrek a few times and I really like the shade but now that I see these two together I would have to go for the Illamasqua. There are a few differences. First is the color, I think that is obvious from the pictures. Second is the shimmer that Illamasqua has and for me that is a big plus :) Third and also very important is the formula and coverage. Illamasqua is easier to apply, although I didn´t have any problems with the OPI either. On the pictures both have two coats and I think OPI would be better with three, there still is some VNL.
This time I made an exception and took some pictures in the sun too. I don´t take them much because we don´t have much sun the whole winter in my country so I think it is better to take everything indoor. On these pictures you can see the beautiful shimmer of Radium. LOVE IT!
In the first photo I thought they were alike. Both are great!
ReplyDeleteAnother colour I didn't think could like nice on nails. You keep proving me wrong lol. Loving the finish on the WTSAY.
ReplyDeleteI'll be definitly wearing one of these this spring ! so nice !
ReplyDeleteI like WTSAY better, but the other one's nice too!
ReplyDeleteI love WTSAY.
ReplyDeleteInteresting :) I thought Radium will be the winner here. Thank you for the comments, always love to read what you think.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Shrek because I like cremes and (suprisingly) it´s OPI ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey are so close except for the shimmer. I have the OPI so I won't be tempted by Radium. Thanks for the comparison.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comparison. They both look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI like them both, but Radium definitely looks more wearable on its own. It suits your skintone really well!
ReplyDeleteBlanche: no surprise at all :)
ReplyDeleteS.N: thank you, I am curious about how it will look in summer when I have a tan.
Thanks for posting these!!! They are pretty close after all!
ReplyDeletewear the opi on toes and illamasque on tips. illamasqua has more of a shimmer and opi is more matte.
ReplyDeleteWTSAY is a little bit better in my opinion. :) But both of them are pretty, so nice colors!
