High End Sunday & Chanel Lilis #647

Welcome to "High End Sunday" guys.  Today I bring you one of my FAVORITE colors of the summer.  Yes, I know summer just ended but today was such a beautiful & bright day that I decided to rock Lilis on the fingers & toes.

Lilis is from the summer's L’Été Papillon de Chanel collection of 2013.  It's a gorgeous "peachy/Coral/reddish" creme.  It's "squishy" appearance almost makes you think it's a jelly but it's not sheer.  You get complete coverage in 2 coats & applied flawlessly.   Lilis skyrocketed to the top of my favorite polish list.  It's the perfect summer color & I think it looks amazing on my skin tone.

Pictured above is in direct sunlight.  I tried to do a little nail art but it didn't come out exactly like I wanted.  I did a little bundle monster stamping & was inspired by someone on Instagram.  Unfortunately, I can't remember who it was.  I will continue to step out my comfort zone & practice nail art!  Until next time....

CHANEL Le Vernis Vendetta #483

Fall is approaching & even though it's still hot outside, I can't wait for Fall to arrive.  So today I decided  put on what I consider a Fall polish & it is Gorge!!

Chanel Vendetta 483

Vendetta is part of the Spring 2009 Bohemian Fantasy Collection.  In the bottle it appears to be a rich eggplant/purple shade with tons of red shimmer & micro-glitters.   Isn't it gorgeous in the bottle?

But,  as with most Chanel polishes, the shimmer isn't as vibrant on the nails unless you're under direct sunlight.  In regular lighting, Vendetta is a blackened eggplant with navy undertones.  But under the sun this baby sparkles!  It transforms to a rich goth like purple & the hidden red micro shimmer comes to life & shines bright!  It is so gorgeous!

Application was a breeze. This was almost a 1 coater but I decided to do 2 coats due to I wanted it super rich.  It was glossy on it's own so I didn't use any top coat.  Vendetta can be purchased at any Chanel retail counter  as well as directly from Chanel.com.  It is part of Chanel's core line so it can be easily purchased.  It costs $27 & is definitely worth every penny.

Chanel Le Vernis Bel-Argus 667

Happy Saturday everyone.  I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday.  My day has been filled with shopping for back to school.   Needless to say i'm exhausted but I couldn't wait to get home to share with you one of the beautiful polishes my sweetheart purchased me last week.

 Chanel Bel-Argus 667

Bel-Argus is one of the Limited Edition shades in the summer 2013 L'Ete Papillion de Chanel Collection.    It is described as a metallic blue.  It is a foil metallic duo chrome that morphs between cobalt & navy blue with the edges morphing between an almost blackened blue/purple-ish color.  In the sun, Bel-Argus is so vibrant & bright!  My iPhone wasn't able to capture this beauty properly.  But trust me when I tell you it's a stunner.  I was looking down at my nails all day!

Bel-Argus applied easily with minimal brush strokes.  I used 2 coats & no top coat.  I attempted to do stained glass on my accent finger.  Photos were taken in direct sunlight with my iPhone.

Bel-Argus can be purchased at Chanel.com or any Chanel Retail Counter.  It retails for $27 & again it's limited edition so make sure you get yours because it's definitely a beauty.  I'm so glad I purchased.

Chanel Taboo #583 Le Vernis

Warning:  Pic Heavy

As I was strolling thru Instagram admiring all the gorgeous polish swatches, I ran across one of the most unique & beautiful mainstream polishes that I have ever seen!  I was immediately mesmerized by knew I had to have it!   This polish was the one & only Chanel Taboo #583.  All of the reviews I read state that this was a Limited Edition polish & my heart sank thinking it would be out of my grasp.  But then I did my own research & found this polish is part of the Chanel core line & immediately ordered it from Nordstroms for $27.  This would be my very first Chanel polish & I was ecstatic.

Chanel Taboo #583 was released as part of the Spring Collection Révélation.  Taboo is a rich, vibrant, deep purple-red polish loaded with iridescent sparkles of blue & purple.  The complex shimmer literally glows from your nails.  It has so much depth that it almost appears to shift colors depending on the angle you look at it.  Taboo is an absolute stunner in the bottle & is even more magnificent on the nail.  Although the bottle appears more plum-purple, when it is applied on the nail, it becomes an inky deep purple.  The super strong shimmer actually translates on the nail!   Taboo applied flawlessly.  Like smooth butter & was almost a 1 coater which excited me even more.  With ever brush stroke I was taken deeper into the trance that is Taboo.  It is hands down my favorite mainstream polish owned & I own well over 1000 polishes!  Taboo is so complex that it made it extremely difficult to photograph.  Especially with my iPhone!  I applied 2 coats Taboo with 1 coat of Seche Vite.  Next I stamped my ring finger with one of my Bundle Monster Plates.
