Hey everyone!
Someone the other day asked if OPI's Be a Dahlia Won't You is a dupe of China Glaze 108 Degrees and I'm going to go ahead and say yeah...pretty much. If you have one, you probably don't need the other! I swatched them both yesterday and they are SO very similar, in formula and shimmer, that I almost wish I hadn't spent so much on the OPI! Oh well! Check out this picture heavy post:

| Bottles outside...I think this is with a flash |
 |
| Bottles sun. Almost exactly the sameee |
 |
| In the picture, CG looks to be slightly darker, but in person you can't tell. |
 |
| My middle finger nail is oddly flat so the color looks off, but if you look at my ring and pinky they're quite similar |
 |
| With a flash |
 |
| In the shade |
 |
| CG might have slight more "sparkle" but like I said, you can barely tell in person. |
So my verdict is buy the China Glaze 108 Degrees if you don't already have it and forget OPI Be a Dahlia Won't You. I literally couldn't tell the difference between them while they were on and the formulas are so similar, I just can't see the benefit to spending more on OPI one in this case! I'm a little sad that I didn't realize the similarities when I bought it, but I do like having all of Nice Stems collection. So oh well! Maybe I'll swap one.
Hope you guys are having a GREAT Friday and enjoy your (US) holiday weekend!
