Nail Look: Chanel Peridot









Above is a 2-day old Chanel Peridot manicure I wore during the 4th of July weekend.  I think this will become a cult classic as the demand for this Chanel Fall 2011 color is off the charts.  It is a beautiful duochrome with heavy gold and green tones.  Staying power was also quite good; it stayed chip-free for four days, well after the long weekend has passed.  I bought this at Nordstrom last Friday and applied it on the same day.  This was two coats.  Honestly, though, I prefer heavy green duochromes than gold ones.  The gold in this nail lacquer tended to overwhelm my already yellow-toned skin.  Nonetheless, it is a pretty color and next time, I will use a black base to really show off the yummy duochrome finish.

That color is sooo gorgeous! It looks I'd wear at a New Years party or a holiday.
