Today I have a comparison swatch for you, which is something I haven't done in a while! In this post I'll be comparing the popular and discontinued OPI Catch Me In Your Net from the 2010 Summer Flutter Collection with Essence Choose Me! from the permanently available Colour & Go line of polishes.
If you guys remember, Essence recently launched here in Canada in Shopper's Drug Mart stores and I was able to get 15 of the Colour & Go polishes so far. I'm still on the hunt for the rest from this line, but people seem to love these little polishes so they're almost always sold out!
Anyways, when I saw Choose Me!, I immediately thought that it looked like a dupe of OPI Catch Me In Your Net, but I wasn't 100% sure without doing a side by side comparison, so that's what I did today!
Catch Me In Your Net - index and ring
Choose Me! - middle and pinky
Catch Me In Your Net - index and ring
Choose Me! - middle and pinky
The verdict: I think Choose Me! might have a touch more gold shimmer in it, but it's barely noticeable. For all intents and purposes, these are dupes. Formula wise, they're both really easy to work with and cover in 2 coats (you can see a bit of nail line in my photos but this isn't at all noticeable in person).
This is all great news because Catch Me In Your Net is discontinued and sort of hard to find, while Choose Me! is permanent and costs just $1.49!
Wow, I see no difference! Looks the same polish on each finger! I love Choose Me, its one of my favorite Essence polishes. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, great dupe, thanks for sharing x
ReplyDeleteThese look dupes for me!
ReplyDeletei don't have either, but I have the Jesse's Girl dupe, can't remember its name, probably because i've only worn it once, but it's so pretty. I can't tell the difference between these two! your nails are looking lovely though :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's awesome! Fantastic post. I love dupe posts :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! It's a dupe! I see no difference...

Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I was debating whether or not to buy Zoya Charla because it is a dupe to OPI Catch me in your Net but now I can just buy Essence Choose me! And it is so much cheaper!! Thank you! =)
ReplyDeleteI have Choose Me! and it's also really close to Quo by Orly - Turquoise Moonlight! It's nice to find cheap dupes! :)
ReplyDeleteNow I have to buy choose me, after those swatches!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely loving all the stuff from the essence line right now!! I'm very excited about what else they put out!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot of possible dupes for Catch Me In Your Net, but this Essence is probably by far the cheapest. I think they're only 99 Cents here in the states!
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome! I love high/low price point dupes!
ReplyDeleteGreat colour!
ReplyDeleteI so want to try Essence polish, but my local Shopper's won't carry it until sometime in June when they move to their bigger location... boo!
Those 2 look exactly the same too me. Its a nice colour, reminds me of mermaids :)
ReplyDeleteI love getting cheaper dupes of colors I've beaning wanting to get. I'll definately pick up Choose Me. Thanks for the comparison!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous colour!
ReplyDeleteWish we could get Essence here, because I would snap this up!
where can you buy essence polishes?
ReplyDeleteSweet!! I have wanted CMIYN forever, but refuse to pay e-bay prices. I just recieved the Essence as an extra in a swap, and you posted this just in time! Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteawesome!! This was on my wish list but since I have Choose Me I can cross it off!
ReplyDeleteWow! To my untrained eye, the colours are so similar! Now my local Shoppers just needs to actually stock Essence polishes and I'll be set!
