CHANEL TABOO

It looks like summer might actually be here ! It's hot outside : o but inside our house is lovely and cool : ) 

What's the weather like where you are? 

Anywho sometimes a nail polish comes along which is so awesome that it has to be swatched, photographed, edit and posted asap! This was definitely the case with Chanel Taboo! I have a really long line of posts and this one just skipped the queue. 

I didn't know if I should get this but then I woke up on Wednesday morning and decided I needed it! I picked mine up from Harvery Nichols but Taboo is available from lots of other department stores which have a Chanel counter.

Anyway this is one of the limited edition summer polishes released by Chanel. It's such a gorgeous polish, I'm not even going to attempt describing it because there's so much going on, I think the photos speak for themselves. 

All photos are 2 coats of Taboo and one coat of Taboo. 

The red shimmer is much more evident in direct light and I swear I could see a touch of green duochrome on the edges but it might just be me ? 

The colour is so complex and gorgeous and unique, the formula is flawless, it can cover in just one coat but I used 2.

I definitely think everyone should pick this up and because it's limited edition I wouldn't risk waiting! I'm even thinking of picking up a backup

CHANEL ROSE INSOLENT & DIAMOND GRADIENT TIPS ; )

This is a mani from the vault I'm still cooking up my next mani for you guys lol, this mani was from when I  was on a real pink high a while ago and this was waiting in my untrieds 

This was 2 coats,  I think a 3rd may have been needed on some nails, but oh well  

Then I used my new Colour Club Covered In Diamonds (well it was new back then) and brushed some on to make it look like a gradient

It looked awesome in the shade ; )

and here's Rose Insolent on it's own (this picture is the most colour accurate)

I looove covered in diamonds soo bad : ) Do you?
