SpaRitual Wilderness: Orly Just Peachy Dupe!

*Purchased by me*

Hey there my pretties, sorry I have been MIA for a whole week, I mostly blame my kid, because her birthday and celebration(s) happened from Thursday to Sunday and it was kind of crazy busy around here... but maybe there's a little procrastination on my side there to be blamed as well, who knows... who cares?  I have great a bunch of awesomeness to share this week :)

I have satisfied a lemming!  You guys... I had been going bananas trying to find the coveted Orly Just Peachy at my TJ Maxx and Marshalls with no luck.  I had seen a twin sibling existed out there (click here for a side by side comparison) and guess what?  I found the twin!  Are we ready for this?  Here is SpaRitual Wilderness!

SpaRitual Wilderness

I was at Burlington Coat Factory with Mr Chuckles when he spotted a Spa Ritual duo pack and wouldn't you know... this little beauty was in there along with another shade I will share eventually and a necklace I will probably never use. :)

So if you are unfamiliar with the story behind Just Peachy by Orly, don't feel bad, it's origins are one of the big "unknowns" in the polish world.  From what I can tell, bottles just started popping up randomly at TJ Maxx and Marshall's as part of those duo-packs they often get from Orly, but it was never a part of an actual collection or core line.  I found out about it when a fellow blogger posed a question in a FB group I am a part of, and I fell in love with the swatches, became obsessed with it, yadda yadda yadda.

I had actually spotted THE Orly Just Peachy at Marshall's a few weeks ago, but I decided to pass on it (gasp!) because it was part of a mini-set, and it came with three other shades that I really didn't care for.  I figured I'd be better off dropping bigger bucks online for a full-size bottle I could use without fear of running out because of the texture factor (a lot is used up with each full mani!) vs. paying $6.99 for the mini-set, and so I passed.

I am not sure why the craze hasn't really shifted over to the more available Wilderness.  I think it might be the price range, because SpaRitual retails for about 50% more than Orly.  With Just Peachy however, it's the other way around due to the rarity, I have seen it on ebay for $15-$20.  SpaRitual Wilderness is part of the Explore Collection and it is available on their website for $12.00, though I only paid $9.99 for my duo-pack.  Can we say "SCORE!"?

As always, these last three swatches I am wearing a layer of topcoat, because I LOVE the depth textured polishes pick up when they are smooth and shiny.  I am not sure in this case which finish I like more though, this stuff is so shimmery without the topcoat that I may like it better when left alone.

So what do you guys think?  Do you own either of these shades?  Which finish do you like better?  I am not noticing too big of a difference to be honest,  I love this stuff either way!
