Chanel - Péridot

Happy New Year!!  Wish everyone the best for the upcoming year!

Since this is my first post of 2012, let's start the year off with another first!  My first ever Chanel nail polish that retails for $27 + tax!  (I bought it using a gift card I received over the holidays.)  This is Chanel's Péridot, which was part of the Fall 2011 collection.  I fell in love with the gold-green duo chrome colour when it first launched, but didn't really want to pay the price for it.  I couldn't believe I still found it on the shelves after the holidays!  That particular beauty counter had only ONE bottle left too... I had to buy it!

Like I said, this is a gold and green duo chrome with a slight shimmery finish.  I tried to show you the duo chrome in the pictures below... hopefully you can see that.  The polish itself, I find, is not much different than an O.P.I or Nubar polish.  I wished the brush was bigger and wider too.  Although it was still quite easy to apply and control.  It was nice and pretty opaque with one coat, but I decided to put on 2 coats anyway.  I actually prefer wearing this polish alone rather than with a top coat.  Maybe because every time I use a top coat, it somehow shrinks the polish colour or makes the application look inconsistent.

This was colour launched in the fall time, but I don't really care what season it is... this is such a pretty-ugly duo chrome (if you know what I mean =D).  Hope you like it!
