NOTD: Sephora by OPI: My Personal Serpent (swatches and close dupe)

This is a very pretty dark green/blue cream polish.  The formula is A+!  I only used 1 coat for the photo, but I will probably add a second coat because my nails chip so quickly.  I've never heard anyone talk about this polish, but I really like it.  In the bottle it looks similar to OPI's Ski Teal we Drop and Essie's Bobbing for Baubles.  On the nails, it is darker more blue than Ski Teal we drop and it's slightly greener than Bobbing for Baubles.  It is pretty close to Essie's Bobbing for Baubles, but it's not an exact dupe.  You probably don't need both in your collection.  Enjoy the Swatches!

UPDATE: Sephora by OPI: My Personal Serpent didn't stain my nails upon removal, however, it stained my fingers HORRIBLY!  That really drives me nuts.  I can't get the stains off!!  I've scrubbed with Zoya nail polish remover and even tried Dawn soap.  Uggh!  Essie's Bobbing for Baubles didn't stain my nails or fingers, so I would probably recommend that!

  1. Hi, I wonder if the Sephora OPI My Personal Serpent polish compares to the OPI Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees?

    2. I added a comparison photo for you. The formula on OPI Suzi skiis is so thin. It needed 3 coats to even compare. Suzi skiis is blacker than Serpant and Suzi skiis has a touch of shimmer. Hope that helps.
