Chanel Rouge Carat

Chanel Rouge Carat is a nice slightly muted red shimmer.  Nothing special, but it has a pink shimmer in the bottle that doesn't really translate well onto the nail.  But nobody does microshimmer like Chanel, and the end result is a glowing effect rather than a metallic finish you get with some shimmers out there.  Enjoy -     >^..^<

Chanel Rouge Moire

Chanel Rouge Moire is a beautiful soft medium raspberry red subtle shimmer from this winter's collection.  Application was very nice - great formula, flowed nicely and was easy to control, didn't streak, built nicely in opacity, and wear was good - I had no more chipping with this one than with any other polish, as is a common complaint by some people in regards to Chanels.  The brush is a little narrow for my liking, but I use OPI's Pro-Wide so often that I just think I'm used to that.  The color is beautiful, and although the shimmer isn't in your face it is still beautiful - almost like a stain finish as opposed to a true stereotypical shimmer.  I like this one - I don't know if it's "worth" the Chanel price, but then again I don't think I have anything quite like it either.  Enjoy -     >^..^<

Chanel Ruby Slipper

Chanel Ruby Slipper is an oldie but goodie.  It is a mid to deep metallic red shimmer; nothing terribly unique but beautiful none-the-less.  Application was very nice - the formula was great, but the brush is a little thin for me, so I had a little streaking - no fault of the polish itself.

I'm wearing this one in memory of a dear friend who passed away suddenly this week.  I now have a few mementos of hers, including this polish, which she had tucked away with a few other treasures.  This will be my mani for the Thanksgiving holiday, which she was supposed to attend at our house - my way of paying a small tribute to her.  RIP, my dearest Kathleen.    >^..^<
