| Zoya Cassi-Left | NARS Orgasm- Right |
As suggested by lovely commenter, Amber, on my Zoya Cassi swatch post I decided it was time to do another comparison post. This time it's between Zoya Cassi and NARS Orgasm. I also created a swatch post of NARS Orgasm, if anyone is interested.
Looking at the bottles I can see a similarity between the two. Both have a coral base, and both are shimmers.
There are two main differences with these polishes; 1) The shimmer color on Cassi is white where it's more of an orange-y tone on Orgasm, and 2)NARS Orgasm is much more sheer than Zoya Cassi. I had apply 4 coats of Orgasm to get it opaque, while Cassi only has two.
Now here are the real questions: Do I consider this a dupe? Kind of. They are very very similar, but not exact dupes. Which is better? That's a hard question. The orange shimmer gives Orgasm that dusk look. From far away, I don't see how it would really matter too much. They're both fantastic formulas, and wear really well. NARS Orgasm is $19 a pop, while Zoya Cassi is only $8. I don't see the problem in having both, personally.
How close are you willing to go with your nail polishes/colors? Do you mind having dupes? Is a slight variant in shimmer coloring enough to justify having two similar colors?
Something, and I can't quite put my finger on what, makes Orgasm prettier to me. Maybe it looks smoother, glowier. Something. Nice comparison!
ReplyDeleteThey are very similar in shades, but I can see how they hit the light differently
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree. That's why I couldn't recommend buying Cassi over Orgasm. It's just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteand thank you!
They are both so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good dupe!! I have always wanted Orgasm, but might have to try this! :)
