High street vs Designer: Topshop Hidden Treasure and Chanel Peridot

Chanel's Peridot nail polish from their Illusion d'Ombres Collection for Autumn/Winter 2011 was one of the most anticipated nail varnish releases of last year (yes, there is such a thing - nails are big business know you know). That two-tone green and gold mixture has almost an antique feel to it, and looked just as good in the bottle than on nails, with streaks of teal and indigo running around the outside.

Because of the unique (at the time anyway) duochrome properties of the polish, I didn't know of any exact dupes of Peridot (it's not as easy to copy as Jade) - but then I spotted this on Topshops webiste!

The high street shop has just added to it's make up range with nail polish Hidden Treasure, which looks like it could be the spitting image of Chanel's creation. It has the same murky green-gold hue with blue running around it. We haven't been able to look any closer yet, but when we do we'll let you know!

In the meantime, Topshop nails in Hidden Treasure is available now here for £6 - a bargain compared to Peridot's price tag, £17.50 at Boots.
