Facets of Fuchsia

Today I'm posting what might just be a decent dupe for an OPI Designer Series color.  Everyone knows that OPI has a superior formula to most of the other main stream lacquers out there.  I also thought that this could stand in for an L.A. Colors shade, but after looking at the website I'm not so sure.  If any of you lovely people reading this know exactly which one it is a good dupe for, please leave a comment of email me.  I saw it on another blog, which I unfortunately can't remember which one, so I know it has been compared to something else.

This is Revlon's Facets of Fuchsia over essence 21 Fabuless.  I used two coats of Fabuless, which has the tiniest bit of shimmer to it, so it would be great on its own, and one coat of FoF.  Facets has large hex dark purple glitter pieces and micro purple glitter pieces in a black jelly base.  I was tempted to try this glitter over just a purple, but the black jelly looked weird on top of it.  Maybe if I find the right purple...Hmm.

This manicure lasted me a solid four days with little to no chipping, and shrinking from the tips only on one or two nails.  All this might be attributed to a new top coat I'm trying out, one of those "no chip" kinds, but we'll see after a few test runs, then I'll give a full report.  Facets of Fuchsia's glitter pieces were really easy to move around and I didn't have to load up the brush a million times.  Fun to work with, in my opinion.

I thought this could have been a dupe for L.A. Colors Glistening Purple, but all the pictures I see of it just looks like a purple glitter.  Then I thought it could have been one of OPI's Designer Series, but that's also wrong.  Either way, I really liked it.

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia retails for around $5.50 US plus sales tax.
**essence 21 Fabuless was provided to me for review by a third party, I did not buy this one.  But it retails for about $1 US
