Chanel Les Khakis De Chanel Collection



I finally have the Chanel Les Khakis De Chanel collection polishes to show today. I know I'm a wee bit late on these and that they're already sold out and all that junk. My apologies for that.

I went through some trouble trying to obtain these. The Chanel website was giving me trouble when these were released. I ended up calling up a Nordstrom in Seattle to order them.

A lot of people did not find interests in these, but I have an obsession with colors that are out of the ordinary for nails. When I saw swatches of these, I told myself I must have them, and I do not regret buying them at all.



Khaki Brun


Khaki Rose


Khaki Vert


The formula for these were surprisingly good. It was a little thick but it worked out fine for me. All of them were under two coats, they were fully opaque in one coat, very pigmented. But of course I did two out of habit and to even it out. In my opinion, the colors are unique and there are no dupes I can think of for them. I know there are colors that are close it but not quite the same!

Did you guys ended up getting these as well?

The Real Housewives of Tudor Dynasty by Rescue Beauty Lounge

Today's swatches and review is totally drool-worthy. I have for you Rescue Beauty Lounge's The Real Housewives of Tudor Dynasty!! Four gorgeous shades inspired by the Tudor dynasty



Catherine is a smokey purple with gold, bright blue, fuchsia shimmer.


Anne is a smokey gray olive green with gold and pink shimmers


Jane is a a gray pearl with slight hints of gold and pink shimmer. The shimmers are not as noticeable on your nails than on the bottle. Sorry I didn't get to take a picture of this one in sunlight


Catherine H is a Wedgewood blue hue with pink and gold flecks.

All of these look different in different lighting. Under direct sunlight the flecks and shimmers show up pretty well. But if you're indoors it looks like your typical shimmers; however if you stare at it for awhile you'll notice the gorgeous gold and pink shimmers.

These were very opaque. All were done under two coats and a top coat. I had no problems with the applications, it was very smooth. Well worth $18 (in this case $72 for 4) out of my wallet. I love spending my money on polishes that are worth it.

My favorites would have to be Catherine H and Catherine. I like Anne too but Jane didn't really put much WOW for me.

Well that is all I have for today!

Four New Sally Hansen for Fall 2010

Today I have four new Sally Hansen polishes for the Fall. I only chose the four that appealed to me most. And I'm loving all of them.


Evening Fog is a nude beige with gray undertones. Can safely say this is a greige but it's more beige than gray


Golden Ticket is a orange copper glitter. This one is my favorite. It was fully opaque in 2 coats but I did 3 for more depth


Sequin Scandal is a dark murky olive green shimmer. It's close to brown without sunlight but I love the shimmer


Fedora is a tan creme with silver flecks of silver shimmer. You can barely tell there's silver shimmer on the nail, but it's noticeable on the bottle

The application for these were good, not bad. I had a little problem with Fedora because the brush was a little mess up but other than that its fine.

So that's all I have for today!
