With all this Chanel vs. BarryM nail polish dupe talk… how could I possibly have resisted CHARGING down my local Superdrug as fast as my fat little trotters could carry me (ok, I drove) before scooping up a bottle of BarryM’s new nail polish sensation Dusky Mauve to compare for myself?
Well I couldn’t. Hence this post – duh.
So is it? Isn’t it?
It most certainly is.
BarryM’s Dusky Mauve Nail Paint is a practically perfect dupe for Chanel’s Paradoxal – I’ll let the photos do the talking.
When Bazza met Coco… *cue music*
The only teeniest, tiniest difference between the two is that I feel the BarryM version may have a touch more sparkle in direct sunlight… but I’m not even 100% confident on that.
If you had wanted to indulge in Chanel’s Paradoxal but couldn’t quite stretch to the £16.50 required to do so… put those pennies towards the £2.95 dupe of the year and head down to Superdrug for BarryM’s Dusky Mauve instead. No one will be able to tell the difference.
If your local Superdrug/Boots are out of stock, don’t forget that you can also buy BarryM’s Dusky Mauve Nail Paint online from the BarryM website which ships internationally.
THey look so damn close!!! *wants*
I have the Barry M and it is very high quality. I thoroughly recommend it. It went on like pure buttah!
What I don’t understand is the hype about this colour. To me it’s actually really ugly. It’s not proper purple, it’s just blah. But anyway, thanks for sharing, lol.
They are sooo close! Models Own were raving that they had a dupe but they have definitely been pushed aside!
Personally, I’m not keen on the colour though.

Now that’s what I call a dupe! Thanks for letting us know!
So *that’s* why I can’t find it anywhere!
Wow, that really is a dupe! just taken over Purple Grey in the dupe stakes!
Woah! I can tell no difference at all! Off to Superdrug I hop!
Wow… Now THAT is a dupe! 😮
What’s the chances Barry M will also dupe the khaki nail polishes? I want the green one so much!
Wow, thats an amazing colour, exactly like the chanel one, think I may have to buy this!
OMG! I am so jealous of all the UK beauties at the moment! That is such an awesome dupe! Yay for cheap chic!
I love you for finding this!!!
Amazing find. I plodded on to Superdrug today and picked up 2 of these for a fiver. Bargain!x

Ooh love this, I think I need this ! xx
OMG they’re so similar!
Thanks for this great post 😀
That is quite possibly the most perfect dupe i’ve ever seen.
Please can you do a blog about how you get your nails to look so good? What’s your routine? What do you use? Your nails are amazing! No matter what nail polish I look my nails always look crap so I would love some tips please 🙂
Totally Gorgeous!!!!
Look very similar, I want any one of them 🙂
bazza coco bazza coco LOL!
i think thats an awfully good dupe, but i still think it’s an awful colour?? although, if you say the bazza has more sparkle i will have to have a ganders myself! xxx
I bought this polish last week and when I put it on, straight away I thought it looked really similar but didn’t have the Chanel to compare properly.
Wow…it’s shocking that it is SO close! I’d much rather pay the £2.95 🙂 xx
Wow, that is amazing, I can’t see any difference at all! Why anyone would buy Paradoxal now baffles me! Thanks for this!

oooh a massive thank you to M at Facegoop for giving me the link to this, I’ve been trawling the make-up halls of Britain looking Paradoxal – and am now going to walk five minutes down the road and buy this Barry M stuff instead.
Wooohooo!

Amaazing find! They’re identical!

oooooooooo who has just won this on big fashionista blog? I has, I has 🙂 woooooo. cant wait to try this xx
thanks for this great post!!
I couldn’t get hold of a bottle of Chanel’s Paradoxol, so when I saw this genius dupe I went straight to Barry M website and got myself two bottles, just to be on the safe side 😉 thanks for sharing!!
To me they look the same. I bought this color because of this post and also i did not had any colour similar to this one.
