Comparison: Zoya Valerie vs. OPI Tease-y Does It
I decided to compare Valerie and Tease-y Does It because when I was swatching them separately, I thought they looked similar and on paper... they do. They are both brown-plum hybrids with golden shimmer. However, in reality, they are much different.
Bottles
L-R: Valerie, TDI, Valerie, TDI
Tease-y Does It is more brown than Valerie. It also is murkier (hazy, smoky, whatever) so the sparkle isn't as pronounced. Pretty much, it's like comparing apples to monkeys, but I felt like it was necessary to post nonetheless.
The reason being... that if there is anyone else out there (like me) that just doesn't like Tease-y Does It, then Valerie would be a great substitute if you are looking for a shimmery browned-plum, but don't really like the murkiness of Tease-y Does It.

Both are 2 coats.
FYI - this is a rare appearance of my right hand. It's so hard to take pictures with my left hand. :S I had a bad break on my L index finger, so for the next few days, you'll either see my right hand or my left hand with the index finger hidden.

Hmmm...can't pick whichone I like best lol!
Tease-y Does It is NOT for me. I really like the looks of Valerie, though.
I'm glad you did this! I was wondering if TDI was too similar, but bought it anyways. Happy I did now!
