This is magic

Okay, I know I get possibly over excited whenever talking about Chanel Malice, but

but

BUT LOOK AT IT

Layered here with Beyu 209, a (dare I say it) equally magical polish

Poopy iphone pictures don't quite capture the beauty

This is the best thing that's ever been on my nails. Ever.

 So, I started with my new favorite polish: Chanel Malice. I splurged on this one immediately following hitting "submit" on the application to my #1 school out of hopes it'd distract me. Well, it did.
I wore it for three days, which isn't usual at all for a polish addict like myself. It's so glowy and beautiful.

 But at some point I realized I had another untried that I wanted to use. I didn't want to remove Malice, like, ever, so I just tossed another polish on top. The result was breathtaking.
That's Sephora by OPI It's Real, a real 18k gold topcoat.
The retail value of this manicure (as totaled by its components  not labor and such) is the most expensive that's ever been on my nails: $60. But it looks so rich, doesn't it?
I wore it for another three days. The lesson here is that gold and red look gorgeous, real gold makes everything even more luxe, and Chanel can have my wallet and soul if I can live in their creations. That is all.

Things I am thankful for....

Well Chanel, of course! But also my wonderful family, one member (my lovely aunt) gave me this nail polish (<3 you Aunt Pam!). It's beautiful, no? The perfect holiday red. It has some pretty pink sparkle, too! And it may or may not have been perfect with a Starbucks cup once I added some white snowflakes... :)

Please excuse Oliver's hair on my nails. Don't know how it got there.



Chanel Graphite.
Hurry to stores and snatch this and Peridot up. Seriously, otherwise you'll regret it and Chanel regret ain't cheap.

Chanel Peridot

I could live in this color. Honestly. I could wear it every day and still adore it.
One of my favorite polishes. Ever. Worth every freaking penny.
And, yes, I have the other star of the collection, Graphite. It's sitting on my desk right now. I'll use it when I can actually bear to remove Peridot. So, it may be a while. (Though Graphite was the one I wanted for sure, and Peridot was the one I was on the fence about, originally).





Yes, there are brushstrokes. But, look! It's green, it's gold, it's blue, it's utter perfection.




Nobody does gorgeous like Chanel.

Chanel Pearl Drop.
STUNNING. This is the BEST 'professional' polish I own. We have competition on Tuesday and need to be dressed nicely, tomorrow's a dress rehearsal and I need to get this approved, so I'm wearing it. I really hope it brings me lots of luck!
This is three coats of OPI Time-Less is More with one coat of Pearl Drop on top. Icky application is my fault, I was rushing. The large gap on my middle finger is bothersome.
