Being kind of Fall/11 sensation (or may I feel so), "Peridot" has been featured on countless blogs since early summer as it has been released months ago in the USA but it only hit Europe in September. I guess it no longer has any side to hide but I decided to show it anyway. This post will be followed by a comparison where I'll show it's supposed and unknown dupes - so stay tuned!
I rarely - if ever - buy Chanel polishes. I like them and like the brand a lot but their make-up is - like for many of us - a bit too expensive for my purse. But the intriguing "Peridot" being my kind of color, I went for it. Opening my box, I discovered a cold bronze/gold polish with a green duochrome. The bottle shows strong blue flashes but the color never goes this extreme on nails and in most lights, Peridot waver from its silver sand bronze to its green side. It's really a polish for the Fall season, in fact such colors look wonderful in the forest among the trees. I had this polish on when I last made a long walk among the trees and couldn't have thought of a better color for moment when Fall is in the air. It borrows flashes of colors to the barks, the leaves, the water drops joyfully playing with the lower sun. Probably will it be even more in tune when the leaves start to turn yellow.
The formula is good and it requires 2 or 3 coats depending how thick they're done. I went for 2 normal ones and they dried very quickly. The power staying was nice without top coat, considering that frost/shimmer have less staying power than creme on me. As ever, my pictures are shown without top coat. Now it's funny you know. When I look at it in its elegant and timeless square bottle, I sometimes think that the polish is more stunning in its container than on the nails but it's still a shade I feel I will wear in the next following weeks as I'm fond of its almost sandy bronze base. Just… I wished the color effect could have been more profound. Profound like I love.
