I had totally forgotten I had taken pics of these before the apocalyptic nail breakage!
I remember when Cosmic Violine was first hitting the stores, people were disappointed that it was more brown than the promo pics depicted. But I rather like the hue. It has some great copper/pink shimmer giving it depth and [...]

It took me longer than normal to pick these bottles of Chanel up. For some reason, I was convinced they were cremes. As soon as I realized they weren’t, I placed my order with Chanel. I’m not quite sure why so many of these were selling on ebay for 40+ dollars when they were still [...]

Yesterday we should have stopped at Jamaica. I keep telling my dear child that I want to climb up the Blue Mountains and pick coffee. She looks at me like I’m nuts and says, “but we’re supposed to be on vacation.” Guess I’ll have to leave her home when I go to [...]

What are the chances we are sunburnt like lobsters by now? Hopefully not. I packed SPF 50 and 30! Today we hit Grand Cayman.
So onward with the Chanels!

Today we stop at Key West. Hopefully we’ll be able to get some scuba diving in. It will be the first time for my daughter. She doesn’t seem to excited about it. Not quite sure if it’s the pricetag or the idea of being 30 feet under water.
So [...]

When I first saw these Chanel colors, they took my breath away. They looked like drams of heaven captured in a Chanel bottle. Unfortunately, these were another set of Japanese exclusives (Tokyo Happening collection). Fortunately, I have very helpful friends in far away places and I was able to purchase these.
However, once I had them [...]
Everything about this polish screams, “Not Me!! Not Me!!”
First, it’s so beyond sheer, it’s almost non-existant. Second, there is no glitter, shimmer or sparkle. So why do I LOVE this color? I’ll tell you! This polish has just enough of a milky color that it makes your nails [...]
Seriously, I would never even have to wear these polishes as they look just lovely in the bottle. I guess it’s a good thing I have discovered a love of shimmery, sparkly, glittery sheers.
If you click on the photos for the larger view, you’ll notice that Ecume and Metal Glace look pretty much alike, even [...]
Clearly based on the numbers, Rose Camelia was not part of the Love and Fame collection. Truth be told, I have no idea of what the Love and Fame collection consisted of because I had never heard of these two colors before.
Now, you need to understand that I’m a Chanel polish hoor. I [...]
I know that these have been compared a zillion times, but what’s one more comparison amongst friends, eh? I really expected these to be very similar, and to my surprise, they weren’t.
Inframental was a very thin polish. Although perfect at two coats, the first coat was actually transparent. It’s a [...]
