Happy Monday, Mommies!I'm really excited because today I'm kicking off "Mommy Loves Lacquer", which is a series dedicated to nail product reviews and polish swatches. Funky nail colors and designs are all the rage right now, so enjoy!
This week's polish is Chanel Nouvelle Vague, and its a total beauty. Its part of the Les Pop-Up de Chanel Collection for summer 2010, and its supposed to be the buzz color of the season. I was surprised that I actually liked it because I'm not usually drawn to nail colors like this. It just seemed too pastel-ly or something, but I decided to give it a go anyway. So glad I stepped out of the box on this one because Nouvelle Vague is totally fab! Not to mention it instantly updates your look. Cheaper than buying a new wardrobe!
Mommies, I stared at my hands the whole time I wore this polish, its that beautiful. Looks like tropical ocean water I've seen in the movies.
Yea. Too bad it freakin' chipped.
I'd heard this sad little tidbit before but I just refused to believe that it would happen to me. Its Chanel! Sure enough, after about eight hours of wear, I was missing a big chunk off my index finger. Good thing its such a pretty color or I'd be fighting the urge to fling this back at the Chanel rep (she made me wait too long).
Anyhoo, $23 for a nail polish that chips may be a bit of a stretch for a mommy on a budget. If that's you, don't fret! Judging by Temptalia's swatches, 'For Audrey' by China Glaze is an almost exact dupe, and it'll only set you back about $6.
Viva la blue nails! Have a great day!
