Beauty Product Review: Chanel Pèridot Nail polish

August 7, 2012

Imagine gold that isn’t gold.

Imagine gold that is in fact tinged with the sheen you get from a drop of oil meeting water (that rainbow hue or in this blue/green hue when these two materials can’t collide).

That, my lovelies is Chanel Pèridot nail polish.  I was once again intrigued by this Chanel nail polish because of its unique metallic shade.  In one light, it is a soft gold.  In another, it is in fact light green.  I caught my manager looking at my nails a few times when I had this one (maybe a bit bright for the office, but so fun for summer!) I think Deborah Lippman makes a similar shade as well as a London based makeup brand, but I haven’t found many companies that make this shade.  I would definitely compare this to another company when I find something similar.

    Love it! I am obsessed with all Chanel polishes, and can’t wait to snag a few from the fall line. I like that the Peridot color changes in the light – so pretty and fun!

    That color is so unique, I like!

    This is a fantastic color! Traditional gold drives me crazy because it looks awful with my pale skin tone. I think this would work much better for me!

    This looks great on you ! I am currently wearing orange from Rococo, the colour is great but it needs 2 coats.
    Another con with all bold colours is the maintenance. I just always find the time to keep up with colour.
    At busy times it’s buff and go!
