Happy Valentine's Day! A quick peek at the latest from Chanel: four new Le Vernis shades in Attraction, Frisson, Distraction & Tentation.
I didn't have enough time to take photographs of them swatched on the fingers before the sun went down yesterday. I did play a bit though, more swatches to come later. Initial thoughts:
- Attraction is a nightmare with streaking. Looks horrid.
- Frisson is sheer and requires 3+ coats to show up, but it's a nice sheer shimmer.
- Distraction is a gorgeous coral with a fuschia sheen in the bottle, on the nails it's more coral.
- Tentation is a fuschia/pink version of Rouge Carat.
These close ups were taken with my iPhone, sorry about the craptastic quality. I'll get better shots later.
The one thing I wanted to post first was the comparisons for those wondering how similar/different the new shades are from prior releases. I hope this helps!
Your wheel swatches has finally convinced me I need to do the same with my collection. Just picked up the same wheels on ebay. Should be a fun project!
ReplyDeleteAttraction does streak, doesn't it?!!! I am not that good at the application, so thought it's partly my fault :D
ReplyDeletewow! I love all of them! <3 < 3 <3

Happy Valentine's Day Sabrina! :)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Steph!
Such lovely colors....I loved all the colors!
ReplyDeleteShoot, I was most excited to see Attraction, not now. Thanks for saving me the money :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Heart Day!
How does Frisson compared to Tendresse? Thanks for the review
ReplyDeleteI put these on my wishlist for Valentine's day. Did you pick up any of the glosses?
ReplyDeleteahhh CHANEL I'm weak when it comes to their polishes
ReplyDeletei had my eye on distraction when i first saw this collection. is it just me or are companies coming out with knock-out corals lately?
ReplyDeleteI'm wearing Distraction right now. It's an absolutely amazing coral; so saturated, it's practically neon. Get it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the swatches! Distraction looks lovely. Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteyou have some very pretty color combinations for tips and toes in that color wheel. where did you get those color wheels for nail polishes I have been seeing in your posts.
ReplyDeleteI like Frisson, such a lovely color!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, they look like the colors in a bouquet of roses! Attraction is the only one I didn't get, but I keep debating whether to go back for it, so am grateful for your honest assessment -- now I think I'll save the money for something else! :)
ReplyDeleteI love a good white pearl, but Attraction is a definite no go for me. The streaks really look terrible. What a disappointment!
ReplyDeleteThe lady at my Chanel counter yesterday showed me these...I like the soft white (cuz it has a sheen with fine flects of gold shimmers in it) and I like the hot pink one just cuz it's hot for summer. I think I'm going to go get the white one.
ReplyDeleteSorry I meant the pink one with the gold shimmers.
ReplyDeleteGosh, Frisson is love at first sight!!!! So pretty!!
ReplyDeleteHelp! Does anyone know where to look for last year's Morning Rose?
