I must have been very good last year, as Santa bought me three beautiful goodies that arrived in a classic, white bag. Never have I ever even bothered to browse the Chanel counter, as I know it's something that I just couldn't afford. Well I could probably treat myself, but us beauty addicts all know that when something is good, one is never enough.
To my surprise, my boyfriend Liam got me these! The only thing I asked for for Christmas was a pair of pyjamas and some unicorn slippers - I couldn't believe it when I spotted a Chanel gift bag, and when he told me he had spent a good part of an hour carefully selecting colours from the counter in House of Fraser! What a cutie...and what a good job he did!
He bought me the shades Suspicious, Holiday and Taboo, all of which are absolutely gorgeous! I don't really own any high end nail polish, and at £18 a bottle, this definitely stocks me up more than enough. Although I do spy a gorgeous white shade called Attraction which will be perfect for the upcoming Spring and Summer nail trends!
I've been waiting to use this nail wheel for forever and here is it's first debut, how sad is that! Back to the nail polish though... Holiday first, Suspicious in the centre and Taboo on the end. Holiday and Suspicious are perfect colour pops for the summer months - Holiday is a true tangerine shade and Suspicious is a raspberry which almost seeps into the Barbie pink! Taboo is very blue based which I was surprised about as in the bottle it looks like an iridescent red/purple shade. On the nail, it is a very deep purple and because of its iridescence and tiny blue glitter flecks, it kind of reminds me of space or galaxies or something. It's so unusual, but so nice!
Onto formula...I can't get enough of these. They are really long lasting; they last a long time without a top coat, but last a REALLY long time with one. I can make this last a week with very minimal chipping, and the top and base coat that I use is just the OPI Nail Envy in Original.
One thing I did notice though, but it is the same with all nail polish I try, is that I get a really annoying white line where it has chipped off the very tip of my nail. Well I say chipped, it kind of looks as though the polish has sort of shrunk away from the edge of my nail? Anyone have any tips on how to stop this?
The brush isn't my favourite type of brush; it's quite long and thing, where as I prefer fat, flat brushes, but it's still nice to use. The square cap comes off to reveal a grippy cyclinder which was a nice surprise so it was really nice to hold.
So, all in all, the boy did good. VERY good indeed. And I was right...when it's good, one is never enough.
Have you tried Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour? Any nail tips for me?
