Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is to swatch a famous dupe. I actually had to refer to Amanda's blog to get some ideas of what to swatch for this post because I had no idea what to do. Since I have both Color Club Revvvolution and OPI My Private Jet (listed as dupes), I decided I'd swatch those two.
Revvvolution was a lemming of mine for a while and I finally purchased it from 8ty8 Beauty a little over a month ago. It's a gunmetal gray, almost black, polish with silver holographic shimmer. The holo in this polish is pretty subtle, but when it catches the light it's gorgeous!
The formula of Revvvolution is excellent. It's not too thick or thin and applies evenly and smoothly. It's opaque in one coat, but I prefer two for my manis, so that's what I used. In the pictures below, I used OPI Natural Nail base coat, 2 coats of Revvvolution, and Seche Vite fast dry top coat.

My Private Jet is a dark brown base with scattered holographic shimmer. The formula was very good for this polish. It applied evenly and smoothly and was opaque in one coat. For these pictures, I used OPI Natural Nail base coat, 2 coats of My Private Jet, and Seche Vite fast dry top coat.

As you can see, My Private Jet and Revvvolution look similar in Natural light, but My Private Jet is the darker of the two. Also, while they both have holographic shimmer, Revvvolution is a linear holo, while My Private Jet is a scattered one. I like them both, but dare I say I prefer Revvvolution :-/ ?
What do you guys think of these two? Do you have any of these? What's your preference?

Revvvolution looks amazing! I need this polish in my life :-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? Get it girl, lol!
DeleteYay for the Dupe Alerts page! I have both of these colors and they're awesome! Love the dark holos.
ReplyDeleteMe too!!! Girl, I check that page all the time, lol.
DeleteRevvvolution is still on my wish list, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Hope you get it soon.
DeleteThese are both beautiful!! :D
ReplyDeleteI totally agree ;0).
DeleteI love Revvvolution! And some people may think I'm crazy but I actually prefer the dud version of My Private Jet. The original was too holographic for my taste haha.
ReplyDeleteHeehee!! You're entitled to your opinion. I love them both though.
DeleteI have the bad versions of MPJ, not the linear holo it was originally. :(
ReplyDeleteMe too. I would have loved to try the original.
DeleteI definitely like Revvvolution better although I've never seen it sparkle so much on me. Love the post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Adri!
DeleteUuuugh, I was so disappointed when OPI changed MPJ to a scattered polish. They should have just retired it instead of selling is as the same thing. Revvvolution is beautiful though, I wonder how it stacks up to Hits Zeus.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a good comparison!!! Maybe I should get Zeus to find out, lol!
DeleteI've been on the look out for Revvvolution for a while now. It's fantastic! I need it!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome!! Hope you get it soon.
DeleteI've been trying to get my hands on a good Revvvolution, but I haven't got it yet... I looks amazing...
ReplyDeleteI hope you get it soon. I love it!
DeleteRevvvolution is one of my favorite Color Club polishes! It's so beautiful and the formula is really great. I don't have OPI My Private Jet, the dud or the holo.
ReplyDeleteI agree!! Revvvolution is awesome!
DeleteThat color club is gorgeous!!Great dupe!
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Thanks hon.
DeleteI absolutely love Revvvolution!!! Great comparison post!
ReplyDeleteMe tooo!!! Thanks Nory ;0)
DeleteLove it! I'm automatically on board with anything holo haha. I always want to order this online but I'm afraid of getting a dud version. :-/
ReplyDeleteHeehee!! Isn't holo awesome? I hope you get it. I love them both.
DeleteGreat choice!! I have a super dud version of MPJ, and a version of Revvvolution that doesn't appear to be the super holographic original. I love holos, so I'm all about Revvvolution. :)
ReplyDeleteI love holos too ;0)
DeleteI'm so happy I have Revvvolution (even if it's still in my untrieds)! Thanks for the comparison :)
ReplyDeleteYou need to show it some love hon, lol
DeleteI love the holo in both, but I prefer the Color Club too. I bet it would be great for stamping also!
ReplyDeleteIt probably would be good for stamping. I wouldn't know though :-/. Glad you like it ;0).
DeleteI love that you swatched both! They look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne ;0)
DeleteNice choice :) I really like Revvvolution too!!
ReplyDeleteRevvvloution looks great on you girl! I can't wait to try mine that has just been sitting there untired!
ReplyDeleteThanks hon!! You have to give yours a try. It's really pretty!
