Dupes: Orly Cosmic FX Halley's Comet VS OPI Summer Flutter Catch Me In Your Net Comparison

OPI Catch me in Your Net (from Summer Flutter) and Orly Halley's Comet (from Cosmic FX) are practically identical polishes, I was actually quite happy to discover this as I only had a mini bottle of the OPI. They are both foil effect polishes in a vibrant blue/green turquoise (the duochrome flash is green).
First up some Flash pics of both polishes:

These were both 3/4 coaters to achieve maximum opacity, I think the OPI is a tiny bit more sheer.
The flash pics don't capture the duochrome effect, but you can see the main turquoise blue shade. Next up some without flash photos which demonstrate the awesome flashes of green duochrome, which really make these polishes:

I think this is the only place I can see an actual difference in the polish, Halley's Comet definitely has a stronger duochrome effect. It also looks like the foil effect on Halley's Comet is a little more vibrant, but these differences are extremley subtle, so if you already have one of these polishes, there's probably little need to grab the other. They are both absolutely gorgeous shades though, and if your a lover of turquoise polish a definite must :D

Here are the two colours side by side in a comparison post I did recently when reviewing OPIs Texas Collection:
