The name Orbis Non Sufficit translates to The World is insufficient, or The World is not enough.
Avon Olive Green is a grayed down dark army green creme that's murky and lovely. Not quite olive, but not quite sage. It is a highly pigmented polish with an exceptionally smooth formula. It is a dream to apply, and it's a one coater for even the most hurried of polishers. ONE COAT!! In my experience it also has exceptional wear.
Olive Green rings in at about $5, while ONS is $18. In all honesty, the Avon polish is perhaps a little better on application so it is the clear winner in this comparison. Please scroll down for a link to a comparison swatch on My Lucid Bubble
This polish is, in my opinion something worth having in your stash,
and sits in my top 20 favourite polish list.
Thanks for looking!

Here is a link showing a side by side comparison of the two polishes.

Wowie... one coat?! I am an Avon rep and love the Avon polishes. They frequently go on sale for $2.50 or $2.99... so make sure to grab them when you see that. That color is SO pretty. It's definitely going on my next order! Nice photos btw.
ReplyDeleteYep, one smooth gorgeous coat. It is a must have. I will be getting some back ups when it goes on sale for sure. Thank you for visiting.
ReplyDeleteWow, are they really dupes!? I love dupes!!! Has anyone done a tape test or a side by side comparison?
