A love for chanel nail polish..


I'm not really sure why, I'm really not fussy about where my nail polishes come from, Barry m, Essie, Revlon, no 7, china glaze, Barbara daily, nails inc- I've tried a few, but I have to say, I'm quite a sucker for Chanel polish.
It started off with 'organza' a beautiful bright bluey pink. I used to call it my barbie nail polish...it looks amazing with a tan!


This is not with a tan, and unfortunately doesn't really do it much justice, may sadly also be the very last time it is applied- was quite a challenge to get a good coat!

Then there was 'paparazzi' way before lady gaga got to it..another more muted pink with a slight sheen of silver running through! (sorry no pic, come to think of it, may need to have a go with this one again sometime soon)



After that ,since last fall I've seem to have been on a mission to get each new 'it' shade..



so last winter saw 2009- Vendetta a rich deep almost black purple with a very fine violet pearl running through


Spring 2010 - Particulaire- an amazing 'mud' colour great for us neutral lovers!



Summer 2010- Nouvelle Vague - not my usual colour but when it came out at the end of spring, I found myself longing for some sunshine and this was the best way to cheer up my almost all black wardrobe!





Fall 2010- the new one - Paradoxal - another understated, beautiful grey/mauvey/smoky brown with a subtle sprinkling of very fine blue and pink pearl (only really seen in the sunshine)








I'm sure there will be more, and I'm sure there are quite a few more in the permanent collection to try out..but for now, I will forever be a Chanel limited edition nail polish collector! If you like them, best hotfoot it down to your nearest stockists, these baby's sell out fast and go for silly amounts of money on ebay!! xx
