OPI Black To Reality vs. OPI Midnight In Moscow

 

Earlier I reviewed a few selections from OPI's holiday 2018 collection, save for Black To Reality.  Black To Reality reminded me of Midnight In Moscow from OPI's fall 2007 collection due to the blackened base with red shimmer.

Black To Reality and Midnight In Moscow (flash)

In regular light, both polishes appear mostly black with a hint of red.  Under brighter lighting, the red shimmer comes to life.

While the polishes look similar, they are not dupes.  Black To Reality has a finer, stronger red shimmer compared to Midnight In Moscow's sparser red shimmer.
