So someone recently mentioned to me that they wanted RBL's Teal. It is described as "Remember that perfect greenish blue Lanvin bag that you hesitated to buy in Paris and have regretted ever since? Well, if you can’t have that gorgeous shade in your hand, have it on your nails." Now I"ll be completely honest. My entire intent in posting this was to prove just how easy it was to find a dupe and convince her NOT to get this polish. I have been slightly turned off the brand as of late and wish I could just walk away from Ji and her brand of polish. I just cant though. There are too many colours I am dying for and they are just too unique. So anyways, on to the swatches!!
Now considering just how many blues, teals and turquoises I had i figured this would be easy as pie. NOPE!! Not a single one. The closest two I had were Illamasqua's Muse and Dior's Nirvana.

As you can see, neither of them are even close! Teal is just so much darker and richer. It is definitely a unique colour you must own if you are a lover of Teal. As I am. Here are some pics of the swatches. I must tell you I learned a valuable lesson. If you are going to take the pictures outdoors to get true colour shots, make sure the polishes are COMPLETELY dry first, otherwise the wind blows dust and makes a mess of the swatches like I learned the hard way.
Ok, you've convinced me to buy Teal!
