I never bought Peridot so I can't compare them in real life, but compared to photos I do think they look the same but not totally. Same same but different kind of. The color is beautiful. I am not much of a gold fan but this mix of gold and green and how it shifts catches my eye.
The formula is easy to work with and goes on smoothly. But the result is streaky. I used three coats for opacity but I think you could get away with two.
