Meet the newest love of my life, Paradoxal by Chanel.
It is all kinds of twisted and murky goodness.
The shade is a mouse-like plum with a slight nod to grey.
My bottle was not shimmery in the slightest. MissHavisham on Makeupalley's nail board had a bottle of Paradoxal that really delivered on the shimmer fire.

If that does not make you rush out to your nearest and dearest Chanel counter....you have a lemming heart of stone.

That is so gorgeous! My bottle does appear to have some kind of shimmer, minimal, but it glows like silk! I'm glad I caved on this one.
ReplyDeleteI gave in and bought a bottle myself. Which is bold since I swore off buying nail polishes that cost more than $20. I made an exception for this color since I own nothing like it in my ever growing stash of nail polishes! I may have to wear it sooner than I thought.
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed already!! Chanel never misses
ReplyDeleteI'm in love...how quickly can I get to Chanel tomorrow (or should I wait for payday?)
ReplyDeleteThis is off topic, but I guessed you would be interested with your love for vampires:) Essence has an Eclipse collection out!

It's already on sale in Europe and there are swatches up on various blogs. I caved for two lipglosses, an eyeshadow and a polish. Red lipgloss is called "Lunch at Cullens", how cool is that!
That will be the hottest color for Fall 2010!
ReplyDeleteHum i like. Very beautiful.

lOVE THE COLOR OF THE POLISH.. VERY COOL!
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteohmygoodness!
ReplyDeleteall of those colors are fabulous!
you have just inspired me to paint my nails :)
These colors are drab, yet shiny and sparkly. They are an awesome contradiction to themselves.
ReplyDeleteI keep liking the bottle pics, but once applied, the shimmer seems to disappear :( I wonder if a glittery topcoat, I'm thinking of Orly Love Each Other (violet microglitter) would enhance the shimmer a bit?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty tho, these taupes are growing on me!
Oh boy, that is a beautiful shade. It may finally be time to stop biting my nails!
